Description

Nestled in the heart of the picturesque New Mills countryside, Hodge Hey Farm offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of history. Dating back to the 1300s, this charming freehold farmhouse is set in approximately 2 acres of stunning private grounds, including a small woodland and breathtaking views towards the iconic Kinder Scout.

This unlisted character home seamlessly blends historic charm with modern comforts. Internally, the property boasts four well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms. The spacious, well-appointed kitchen - once a traditional shippon - is perfect for family living, while a large dining room provides an inviting space for entertaining. The cosy living room, complete with exposed beams and a welcoming atmosphere, makes the perfect retreat at the end of the day. A generous utility room offers additional practicality for busy households.

Externally, Hodge Hey Farm continues to impress. There are three versatile outbuildings and an expansive large garage, offering outstanding potential for a variety of uses. The barn, one of the key outbuildings, previously had planning permission granted for conversion, presenting an exciting opportunity for future development (subject to the renewal of planning consent). Whether you're seeking a stunning home office, holiday let, annexe, or additional living accommodation, the possibilities here are extensive - making this a perfect prospect for those looking to expand or invest.

The property benefits from gas mains heating, serviced hot water solar panels (installed in 2009), and regularly maintained chimneys and boiler. Windows were replaced in 2012, and the roof has been carefully maintained over the years. A CCTV system provides peace of mind, and good water pressure and copper plumbing complete the practical details.
Hodge Hey Farm is not listed and sits outside of any conservation areas, offering flexibility for future owners. With no history of underpinning or structural issues, and a recent timber survey confirming its excellent condition, it presents a rare chance to acquire a historic yet low-maintenance home.

Whether you're searching for an idyllic family home, a rural retreat, or a rewarding development project, Hodge Hey Farm offers endless potential in a truly outstanding location. Early viewing is highly recommended.
