Situated in a lovely location with delightful landscaped grounds leading down to the River Derwent and adjoining the historic Bamford Mill, a strikingly attractive substantial stone-built residence dating back to the late 18th century. The hall, which retains many original features, briefly comprises: nine bedrooms, three reception rooms, six bathrooms, a cloakroom, a drawing room, a dining room, a morning room and a breakfast kitchen with a large walk-in pantry / utility room. Outside, you will find an attractive entrance with extensive parking, a courtyard area and landscaped grounds sweeping down to the River Derwent with superb views over open countryside. The property would make a lovely family home with space to invite relatives and friends for weekends. It also has great business potential to generate a substantial income as it would make a wonderful bed and breakfast / guest house, or alternatively it would be ideal for self-catering groups as it comfortably sleeps sixteen to eighteen. Bamford is a very sought-after village in the Peak National Park with good local amenities, excellent schools and trains to both Sheffield and Manchester. Also available is a range of great outdoor activities such as walking, golf, fishing and cycling - with the great Derwent reservoirs of Dambusters fame a short (yet nonetheless scenic) journey away.
