Features and description
- Freehold
Manor House is a substantial early Victorian Grade II listed home standing in delightful grounds and offers substantial characterful period accommodation over four floors, maintaining many original features. Cast iron pillars support the elegant verandah which overlooks the tiered gardens. Many of the rooms have original fireplaces as well as decorative ceiling cornices. Distinctive arched French windows from the dining room and sitting room give access to the verandah and to the rear garden. The main house offers three reception rooms on the ground floor and five bedroomed accommodation on the first floor, with a further office/loft room on the second floor. The lower ground floor, which was the former servant’s quarters, has its own access entrance and whilst partially converted with lounge, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, further scope exists here to convert two garden rooms to make additional accommodation. All in all, the sale of this outstanding Grade II listed gentleman’s residence is, indeed, a rare opportunity to acquire such a delightful period home, superbly situated and within easy walking distance of Buxton’s famous Opera House, Pavilion Gardens, Town Centre and its many amenities.

Location:
The Roman Spa town of Buxton, famous for its mineral and spring water sits amongst some of the most beautiful countryside in England, being on the edge of the Peak District National Park, whilst being accessible to the cities of Manchester, Sheffield and Derby. The town boasts magnificent location architecture, some dating back to the early 17th century, including the Crescent, a superb example of the Georgian period, built around 1780 for William Cavendish, the Duke of Devonshire, by John Carr of York. The annual Buxton Festival centres around Buxton’s Edwardian Opera House and other venues and attracts visitors from across the world, while tens of thousands visit the town to sample its mineral and spring water, to stroll through the Victorian Pavilion Gardens and enjoy the surrounding Peak District National Park countryside. There is a direct train link from Buxton into Stockport and Manchester, while Manchester Airport is within 25 miles of the town.
