Property Information

Welcome to Cunliffe House, a magnificent property which presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in a picturesque, private setting within Hathersage. Occupying an incredibly expansive 21 acre plot, Cunliffe House is a beautiful five bedroomed farmhouse with adjoining one bedroomed self-contained accommodation. Cunliffe Cottage stands to one side of the farmhouse, with its own driveway and garden, offering a three bedroomed home that is ideal for multi-generational living or holiday rental.

A central, south-facing stone courtyard extends an inviting welcome to the farmhouse and The Loft (one bedroomed adjoining accommodation). An impressive entrance hall sits beneath a double-height ceiling and galleried landing, and leads seamlessly through a stone archway into the wonderful formal dining room. A magnificent bay-windowed lounge is filled with an abundance of natural light and enjoys views across the formal garden and woodland beyond.

The heart of the home is the country-style dining kitchen, which is appointed with a two-oven Aga, integrated appliances, marble work surfaces and a sizeable central island with space for seating. Just off the dining kitchen is a useful pantry, a boot room with a WC and a homely snug featuring a log burner. The boot room connects to a utility room, which transitions into a storage room and tack room for equestrian usage.

Three spacious bedroom suites, plus another two double bedrooms, are positioned on the first floor. The master suite is capacious and incorporates a superb bedroom with fitted furniture, a versatile study and a well-appointed en-suite bathroom.

The Loft is a two-storey dwelling which is brimming with character. On the ground floor is an entrance hall with a spiral staircase which rises to the first floor. A fabulous living room/kitchen showcases exposed timber beams and the kitchen area adds a modern twist. A generously proportioned bedroom with an en-suite shower room offers a comfortable space. The Loft has fantastic flexibility of use, due to its separate access from the courtyard, or from the inner landing/linen cupboard of the main house, making it perfect for incorporating into the primary living accommodation, or independently for guests or holiday rental.

Nestled at the top of a long, treelined driveway, Cunliffe House exudes privacy and exclusivity. Wonderfully landscaped grounds contain lush lawns, densely populated borders, woodland and pleasant seating areas for basking in the tranquillity surrounding this exquisite home. There is also plenty of storage provided within a workshop and a large store with two mezzanine rooms.

Eight enclosed paddocks, a 20x40m manège, a stable block containing five stables and a feed store, along with tack and storage rooms comprise everything an equestrian could require. Behind the stable block is a detached hay barn with an attached tractor store, which accommodates storage for bales, horse transport and land maintenance vehicles.

Set within the grounds is Cunliffe Cottage, a three bedroomed detached dwelling built in 2014, which is ideal for multi-generational living or a successful holiday let (current use). The property was constructed to a specification that caters for disabled requirements, resulting in an accessible home set on one level with large rooms. A bright lounge with patio doors opening to the outdoor seating terrace provides a lovely space for relaxation, whilst the dining kitchen adds practicality throughout its fitted cabinetry and range of integrated appliances. There is also a side entrance lobby and a utility room. The extensive entrance hall with fitted furniture connects to three bedrooms, including two en-suites, and a family bathroom. Cunliffe Cottage has its own driveway where there is ample space for multiple vehicles and a low-maintenance garden filled with mature borders and a patio.

Scope for further accommodation is offered by the north section of the main dwelling. Planning permission was granted in 2015 (now in perpetuity due to actioning of roofing works) for conversion into holiday cottage accommodation in the form of two, two bedroomed barns. Full details can be found on the Peak Park Planning Portal under reference NP/DDD/0915/0817.

The property is within walking distance of quaint Hathersage village, where there are a host of amenities such as shops, cafes, restaurants and public houses. A stone’s throw away is Sickleholme Golf Club, Hathersage Swimming Pool and an excellent primary school.
