Built during the final years of the Edwardian era, the house displays many of the characteristics associated with the movement, including stone mullioned windows, decorative brickwork, green oak detailing and finely crafted architectural features. Extending to approximately 13,734 sq ft, the accommodation offers impressive scale and flexibility, with elegant reception rooms, substantial bedroom accommodation and a significant leisure wing.

With an open aspect to the entrance hall, the dining room is another delightful space for dinner parties and entertaining, with more bifold doors that 'bring the outside in' and allow you to appreciate the landscaped grounds year-round.

The gym is incredibly private despite its wealth of floor to ceiling windows overlooking the natural garden lake, and glass doors open onto a lakeside terrace with swim spa and hot tub (available by separate negotiation). If not used as a gym, this versatile space could suit a variety of uses, subject to regulations. A games room with snooker table and bar? Self-contained annex accommodation for family? Or perhaps separated as an Airbnb for extra income? The choice is yours! Hidden behind this outbuilding is a large log store. As well as the waterfall flowing into the garden lake, a trickling brook flows down the side of the boundary, providing a calming countryside sound to be enjoyed while you're relaxing outside on warm summer days. Beyond the terrace and circular walled patio outside the family room, the grounds continue far beyond the water over a grassy area bordered by woodland, to a fenced children's play area at the bottom of the garden.

This estate offers an unparalleled opportunity to own a piece of history, providing immense potential for family living and income generation through the two converted holiday lets. Located just a 15-minute drive from the spa town of Buxton and 10 miles from the market town of Ashbourne, offering a wide array of shops, pubs, and amenities. While the village itself has a local pub and cafe, the location offers excellent road links to larger cities. Nearby towns of Buxton and Ashbourne are well-connected to major cities, with direct train services from Buxton to Manchester Piccadilly and bus routes to other key locations. This allows for a perfect blend of peaceful country living with the convenience of easy commuting or travel to urban centres for work or leisure. With approximately one acre of land, and the opportunity to acquire more (through separate negotiation), Cawlow Farm's prime location in the High Peak combines rural serenity with convenient access to nearby towns and cities.
