About this property

Beautifully refurbished Victorian stone house in historic Spa-Town

Spacious, centrally located townhouse spread over four floors and situated in a Conservation area. Recently modernised whilst retaining original features the property has four en-suite bedrooms, a reception room, a dining room, an extended modern kitchen and a basement sitting room.

The house is an end of terrace townhouse with a prominent and elevated position overlooking West Road with a stepped, split level garden to the front commanding views over the town and the Derbyshire countryside beyond. It was once a school for girls. There is ground floor level access to the rear of the property via a quiet cobbled, dead-end road with private off-road parking for two cars. This leads to a small enclosed south-facing courtyard and backdoor entrance into the kitchen.

From the front, the house is accessed through a stepped terrace garden with the front door opening to a porch with stained glass windows leading to a light, airy hallway with staircase and doors off to the front living room and rear dining room. The kitchen is accessed from the dining room and has a separate corner door to a stone staircase leading down to the basement. Under the stone staircase is a small utility area housing a washing machine and dryer. There is also a shower room and an additional large sitting/relaxation room housing a large satellite and internet enabled surround sound TV, making this an ideal space for relaxing in or watching a movie. The basement can also be accessed from a separate side entrance that opens to a quiet pedestrian pathway along the side of the house.

The four spacious bedrooms are split over the first and second floors and each has its own well appointed en-suite bathroom with underfloor heating. Three bedrooms are configured with king sized double beds and one bedroom has two single beds. A separate WC is located on the first floor landing.

The country style kitchen is well stocked with wooden work surfaces and is set on a York stone floor with electric underfloor heating. It includes a breakfast bar, range cooker, integrated dishwasher, toaster, kettle, coffee machine and ample storage.

The adjoining dining room has its original black and red floor tiles with farmhouse style furnishings that lend a rustic charm.

The house is well insulated with modern central heating. The front living room has a wood burning stove, satellite and internet enabled TV along with a mini hifi player making this a comfortable room for evening relaxing. High speed broadband Wi-Fi is provided which coupled with mesh routers results in a good signal in all rooms.

The house has a small sunny south facing rear court yard and is conveniently located only a short walk from Buxton town centre where amenities include the stunning Pavilion Gardens and the renowned Buxton Opera House, plus a variety of shopping in the Spring Gardens, Cavendish Arcade and Market Place in Upper Buxton. Buxton Train Station is only a 10 to 15 minute walk along the picturesque pedestrianised Broad Walk in the Pavilion Gardens. From there you can catch a regular service direct to Stockport and Manchester Piccadilly Stations. There is a bus stop immediately outside the house for the 58 bus to Maccelsfield Station and occasionally direct to Chatsworth. Other bus services go from the Market Place (only 2 to 3 minute walk away) to surrounding towns and attractions including Ashbourne, Bakewell, Leek etc.

A Sainsbury's Local is located in the Market Place with a larger Waitrose located in the Spring Gardens shopping centre and a larger Morrisons supermarket 10 to 15 minutes walk along the West Road. The Market Place has regular Tuesday and Saturday market stalls, but also has a great local butcher, an excellant Thai restaurant, cafes and many other small retail outlets.

There are plenty of local restaurants, pubs and takeaways in the town and all within easy walking distance. Theatre and film goers are spoilt for choice at the Art's Centre and historic Opera House which is located at the other end of the Pavilion Gardens, alongside the Buxton Leisure centre which has a swimming pool and gym. There is also the recently refurbished and renowned luxury Spa at the magnificent and historical Crescent Hotel. Cashpoint machines are located at the various banks, Post office, Sainsbury’s and Morrisions supermarkets.

The cameras are for security purposes only and do not capture audio or monitor any areas where guests have a reasonable expectation of privacy.

About the host

Hosted by Angela

Host profile image
Our home in Buxton is ideal to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life whilst still having the convenience and ease of access from being in a rural market town. Buxton has the Peak District National Park right on it's doorstep giving it a true rural feel. We love walking and cycling in the Peaks, particularly along the dedicated paths like the Monsal and Tissington trails, as well as strolling along the various old industrial canals. We often attend performances at the historic Opera House & Pavilion Arts Centre, many of which subsequently go on international tour. During the weekend we enjoy browsing in the Pavilion Garden artisan markets and having a coffee on the terrace whilst listening to local bands playing in the Victorian bandstand. In the summer months Buxton comes alive, hosting its renowned International Festival, annual Well Dressing event (now over 180 years) and Fringe festival. In the winter snowfall gives the town a fairy tale quality.

We enjoy strolling down to the evening quiz night at the local provincial pubs where you can sample regional brews and spirits and dining at the many great restaurants in the town.

Why they chose this property

Buxton is a delightful and ancient Roman spa town where the world famous natural mineral waters come from. The town was designed by the Duke of Devonshire in the Victorian era when it became a fashionable and well-regarded health resort. With it's many period properties Buxton still has the air of Victorian elegance. The gardens include a boating lake, a bandstand and a Victorian glass hothouse complete with tropical plants and fish pond. At the weekends there is a market in the Pavilion Octagon and on a sunny day it's lovely to sit and watch the world go by at the various outdoor cafes.

Nearby excursions can be easily made to the many regional historic houses such as Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and Lyme Park. Having a car is not necessary as only a few minutes walk will take you to the Market Place for buses to a wide range of destinations and if you feel the need for the buzz of a big city Manchester is only an hour by train.

Alternatively a pleasant walk though the Pavilion Gardens takes you to the magnificent Crescent Hotel outside of which you can freely bottle your own Buxton mineral water direct from its source. There are also plenty of options to find an eatery or take cream teas in the many restaurants, cafes and teashops or go shopping at local independent or national retailers. The local pubs, such as The Sun Inn and The Cheshire Cheese, are very welcoming and serve tasty pub grub.

It is, however, the welcoming Derbyshire hospitality that lends Buxton its friendly feel with the locals always ready to stop and chat.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love at first sight with this beautiful house that had been fully renovated to a high-standard. It was once a Victorian school house for girls and retains many of its original features including two stunning Derbyshire stone fireplaces and cast iron surrounds in all the bedrooms. The dining room still has its original Victorian red and black floor tiles which combined with William Morris wallpaper really has an authentic historic ambience.

The tastefully decorated bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms, make the house feel like a top end hotel, but with the comfort of home.

With easy access to Buxton town centre, either by walking through the ancient Market place or through the Victorian landscaped gardens, it is perfectly located for daily amenities. Equally as easy, via a footpath from the back of the house, you can in a few minutes be in the beautiful Grinlow Woods and if you feel energetic it is only a short invigorating walk up to Solomon's Temple with breathtaking views over Buxton and across the Derbyshire dales.

This is predominantly our family holiday home that we are happy to share with like-minded visitors. For further information and to contact us direct please visit our webpage at: https://westroadbuxton.com.
