We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Dating back to the 18th Century, this exceptional four-bedroom detached farmhouse occupies a stunning position within around eight acres of south-west facing gardens, woodland, and land.
Set between the River Derwent, Hay Wood, and the Longshaw Estate, the property enjoys a truly magical sense of seclusion, rich biodiversity, and sweeping panoramic views across the Hope Valley.
Despite its idyllic rural setting, it remains conveniently accessible to Sheffield and Manchester by both road and rail.
A characterful stone outbuilding adjoins the farmhouse, offering exciting potential for conversion or further accommodation, subject to the appropriate planning permissions.
In addition, plans exist for the creation of an annex from the stone-built garage and carport, providing excellent flexibility for guest accommodation or multi-generational living.
Description The farmhouse itself retains a wealth of original period features, with exposed beams, stonework, and traditional craftsmanship enhancing its historic charm.
On the ground floor a spacious entrance hall sets the tone, leading into an impressive dual-aspect reception room centred around a stone fireplace with a multi-fuel stove, creating a warm and inviting focal point.
This room enjoys views across the valley and large windows allow natural light to fill the space.
A further dual aspect reception room is used as a dining room, featuring a multi-fuel stove, which flows seamlessly into a beautifully designed breakfast kitchen, where contemporary fitted units, and a five-burner range cooker blend modern convenience with timeless style.
There is also potential to introduce a contemporary ‘glass box’ extension to the southerly elevation, subject to the necessary consents.
A utility room and stylish cloakroom/WC complete the ground-floor accommodation.
Upstairs, the first-floor landing benefits from built-in storage and provides access to four well-proportioned bedrooms.
The principal bedroom is a generous dual-aspect double, with wonderful views, complemented by a spacious en-suite shower room.
A second dual-aspect double bedroom enjoys a bright southerly outlook, while two further double bedrooms overlook the valley. One features a mezzanine level and access to an expansive loft space.
The loft presents outstanding potential for additional accommodation for multi-generational living or a large home office, subject to planning approval. A family shower room completes the first floor.
Outside, the property is approached via a sweeping private driveway offering generous off-road parking.
The stone-built garage/carport, together with additional outbuilding, provide excellent scope for storage, workshops, or future development.
The grounds are a true highlight, featuring beautifully landscaped gardens, deep planted borders, and mature specimen trees, all blending seamlessly into areas of woodland.
Two wildlife ponds attract an abundance of birds and nature, while woodland walks, and a timber summer house, ideal as a garden office, create a sense of tranquillity.
A secluded stream-side seating area offers a peaceful retreat, perfect for quiet reflection or relaxed evenings outdoors.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a historic rural home of genuine character, offering land, privacy, development potential, and a breathtaking natural setting in one of the region’s most scenic and desirable locations.
