Description:
Undoubtedly one of the finest residences in the Derbyshire Peak District, a truly splendid, Grade II Listed old English Manor House, the original part dating from Elizabethan times in the 16th Century, extended in the 18th Century and being of considerable architectural merit. The house has been meticulously looked after and occupies a lovely village location, being protected with adjacent outbuildings, two detached cottages and high walled gardens. It faces due south to the front and has formal gardens, full size tennis court and paddock together with a further three and a half acres, approximately to the west, which is let on an agricultural tenancy.
The main house has a lovely entrance hall leading to the main reception hall, study, sitting room, dining room, magnificent drawing room, superb fitted kitchen and breakfast room and ancillary rooms. First Floor: large master bedroom suite, five further bedrooms, further bathroom and separate shower room. Separate annexe with extensive garaging and spectacular billiard room, further garaging and small barn.
Also within the grounds, with its own private entrance, Holmfield, which provides attractive two bedroomed staff or dependant relative accommodation. In addition, Manor Barn Cottage provides further two bedroomed accommodation, ideal as an investment property. Additional double garage.
The 16th Century part of the house, with its twin gables, lead latticed and stone mullioned windows, delightful bays to the drawing room, has a warm, welcoming and cosy air whilst at the same time it is elegant and very well proportioned.
The Georgian extension blends extremely well and offers a very attractive contrast with its lofty ceilings and sash windows and most attractive and imposing entrance portico.
The property has been very well maintained and improved over the years which includes the re-roofing of the original Elizabethan Manor.
The Village of Great Longstone is one of the most highly sought after in the Peak District, lying approximately midway between Ashford in the Water and Monsal Dale, both of which are renowned locations. The famous market town of Bakewell lies approximately three miles to the south and in addition to its weekly Monday market and annual August show and nine hole golf course, has comprehensive shopping and transport facilities and the renowned Lady Manners School.
Great Longstone has a village church, two inns and local shop and very highly sought after primary school.
