Needhams Farm, Kettleshulme, SK23 7EH

Nestled on the hillside above the picturesque village of Kettleshulme, this idyllic three-bedroom, three-bathroom detached residence sits within its own grounds, enjoying spectacular 360° views across the surrounding countryside.

The property has been well maintained and benefits from a number of improvements, including its own private water supply sourced from a natural spring, together with a brand-new water filtration system installed within the last 12 months.

Whilst there remains excellent scope for a purchaser to personalise the property to their own individual taste, the existing outbuildings offer exciting potential to create additional accommodation, a home office, or holiday let, subject to the necessary planning permissions and building regulations.

Needhams Farm occupies a slightly elevated position on a quiet country lane.

The gardens wrap around the house and are predominantly laid to lawn, providing numerous seating areas from which to relax and take in the breathtaking views.

There is also a designated patio area and a small wildflower paddock, ideal for those wishing to keep chickens or other small animals.

Despite its peaceful rural setting, Kettleshulme enjoys easy access to Whaley Bridge with its excellent commuter links to Manchester, Sheffield and Macclesfield, shops and supermarkets.

The area is also renowned for its outstanding countryside, with a wealth of beautiful walks on the doorstep, including Windgather Rocks, the Goyt Valley, Taxal and Buxton. Council Tax Band F.
