Description

Peacehaven is a substantial and highly versatile five-bedroom stone-built home, offering generous accommodation arranged across multiple levels within the attractive hamlet setting. Originally part of the neighbouring Hockerley Hall Farm, the property was rebuilt as a barn conversion around 1990 and now combines its agricultural heritage with spacious and adaptable living accommodation. Characterful features include a generous open-plan kitchen and dining room, a triple-aspect reception room with a multi-fuel burner, and flexible bedroom accommodation, while hillside views and attractive walks directly from the doorstep further enhance its semi-rural appeal.

Wrapping around the property, the outside space combines a lawned front garden with a gated cobbled driveway and courtyard providing ample parking, together with a substantial hardscaped area offering further parking or a genuine blank canvas for keen gardeners. While well maintained and ready to enjoy, Peacehaven offers excellent scope for a purchaser to update and personalise the interiors over time, creating a home tailored to their own tastes. Offered with no onward chain and Freehold tenure, this is an excellent opportunity to acquire a substantial and characterful home in the peaceful Hockerley Hall Farm setting, surrounded by the High Peak countryside.


EPC Rating: D

Kitchen / Dining Room

A very generous open-plan kitchen and dining space, enhanced by a dual-aspect arrangement of large timber-framed windows that bring in excellent natural light. An open timber staircase rises around a timber beam, complementing the exposed timber lintels and adding real character, while a range of wall and base units provides useful storage alongside space for a cooker and two under-counter appliances; a cottage-style timber door leads down to the reception room.

Living Room

A particularly spacious and characterful reception room with a triple aspect, allowing natural light to fill the space while framing attractive hillside views. A multi-fuel burner set on a stone hearth creates a warm focal point. Timber lintel detailing and an open staircase, with a timber door featuring glazed panels providing direct access to the garden and a separate WC completing the accommodation on this level.

Downstairs WC

Conveniently positioned off the reception room, this cloakroom is fitted with half-height tiled walls and flooring, together with a pedestal wash basin.

Landing

The landing provides access to the upper levels of the property, connecting the upper-floor main bedroom with the hallway serving the remaining bedrooms and additional accommodation.

Bedroom One

A distinctive main bedroom with characterful ceilings and a ceiling window, creating an individual and light-filled space, further enhanced by an additional side-aspect window. The open-plan layout incorporates a walk-in shower with a glass screen, a toilet and a pedestal wash basin, while a built-in cupboard provides useful storage.

Bedroom Two

A comfortable double bedroom with a front-facing timber-framed window enjoying an attractive outlook. Built-in wardrobes provide convenient storage, making this a practical and well-proportioned bedroom.

Bedroom Three

Another generous double bedroom benefits from dual-aspect timber-framed windows that bring in plenty of natural light and offer lovely views across the surrounding hillsides.

Downstairs Hallway

A central hallway with timber-framed windows, providing access to two further bedrooms, the family bathroom and the additional kitchenette/utility area.

Bedroom Four

A generous double bedroom with a timber-framed window framing a pleasant outlook towards the surrounding hillsides.

Bedroom Five

A further double bedroom, offering flexible accommodation for family, guests or those requiring a home office, with a timber-framed window enjoying hillside views.

Family Bathroom

The bathroom is fitted with a generous walk-in shower incorporating an electric shower and glass screen, together with a timber-framed privacy window.

Kitchenette / Utility Room

A versatile kitchen/utility space with a triple-aspect arrangement, providing excellent natural light and dual-aspect views towards the hillsides. Floor-level storage units offer space for an under-counter appliance and an electric cooker, while a rear composite door with glazed panels opens directly onto the cobbled courtyards and garden area, creating useful access to the outside space.

Garden

Wrapping around the property, the outside space offers excellent versatility and further potential to create a garden tailored to individual tastes. To the front, a lawned area, set behind a dwarf stone retaining wall that enhances the property’s kerb appeal, provides a neat and attractive approach. A gated cobbled driveway/courtyard to one side provides secure access and ample parking. To the opposite side, a substantial hardscaped area offers additional off-road parking or a genuine blank canvas for keen gardeners, with scope to create further landscaped gardens, seating areas or an outdoor entertaining space. The combination of lawn, courtyard and generous hardstanding makes the outside space both practical and full of opportunity.

Parking - Driveway

One side of the property features a gated cobbled area, while the other has a hardstanding area providing ample parking for multiple vehicles.
