Denise White Estate Agents Comments

Welcome to West Side Farm, a stunning stone-built period farmhouse occupying an idyllic position within the heart of the breathtaking Manifold Valley. Nestled within approximately 6.8 acres of grounds and enjoying far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside, this exceptional country residence presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial farmhouse together with an impressive range of outbuildings, including a beautifully converted stone barn currently operated as a successful holiday let.

The farmhouse itself offers extensive accommodation arranged across three spacious floors. Whilst the property has been lovingly maintained by the current owner, it would now benefit from a programme of modernisation, presenting an exciting opportunity for purchasers to redesign and create a truly spectacular family home tailored to their own tastes and requirements.

To the ground floor, an entrance hallway provides access to a useful guest WC together with the Breakfast Kitchen Lounge and Dining Room. Positioned to the rear of the property is the Farmhouse-Style Kitchen, fitted with an extensive range of units incorporating an oil-fired Aga and offering ample space for a breakfast table and chairs, creating the perfect everyday family hub. A doorway leads through to the spacious Lounge, a warm and welcoming room centred around an exposed stone fireplace housing a multi-fuel stove. Off the Lounge is a stunning hardwood-framed Orangery which overlooks the gardens and enjoys French doors opening onto a patio seating area, perfectly positioned for enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Adjacent to the Lounge is a formal Dining room situated to the front aspect, enjoying delightful views across the gardens.

To the first floor, a generous landing provides access to Three Substantial Double Bedrooms and the Family Bathroom, whilst a further staircase rises to the second floor. Each bedroom benefits from extensive built-in wardrobes and storage, with the Principal Bedroom also enjoying the advantage of an En-Suite Bathroom. The second floor offers a further spacious Landing area, currently utilised as a Home Office, which in turn leads to Bedroom Four, another sizeable double room complete with useful under-eaves storage.

Externally, the property is approached via a sweeping in-and-out driveway which passes through the paddocks before opening onto a substantial parking area and four-bay carport. The gardens are positioned predominantly to the front and side aspects, enjoying an excellent degree of privacy together with stunning views across the surrounding land and rolling countryside.

Positioned across the yard is “The Annexe”, an attractive stone-built barn conversion comprising an open-plan living kitchen, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Currently operated as a successful holiday let, the annexe offers excellent versatility and would be equally suitable for multigenerational living, guest accommodation or continued commercial use, subject to obtaining any necessary consents.

The outbuildings accompanying the property are a particular feature, including a large workshop, traditional stone stores and an additional substantial stone barn which offers exciting scope for further conversion or development, subject to obtaining the necessary consents. There is also a large timber-framed store together with a variety of useful ancillary spaces which could lend themselves to workshops, home offices, hobby rooms or garden rooms.

The grounds extend to approximately five acres and are divided into four paddocks, ideally suited to equestrian use, grazing livestock or those seeking a smallholding lifestyle.

Situated just a short drive from the charming village of Hulme End and overlooking the renowned Manifold Track, the property enjoys immediate access to some of the area’s finest walking, cycling and riding countryside. The nearby market towns of Leek, Buxton and Ashbourne provide an excellent range of shops, schools and amenities, allowing residents to enjoy an idyllic rural lifestyle without compromising on convenience.
