2 Delightful family house of character and style Prospect House 18 Long Lane, Chapel-enle-Frith, High Peak SK23 0TF Freehold Scope for separate accommodation 4 or 5 bedrooms 3 bathrooms Dressing room 3 or 4 reception rooms Integral garage Gated stone flagged parking areas Lawned gardens to rear and sides EPC rating = D Situation Market Square:< 0.5 mile, Railway Station (Manchester Piccadilly from 44 mins, Buxton 12 mins): 0.7 mile, Buxton: 5.5 miles, Macclesfield: 11 miles, Stockport: 13.5 miles, Manchester City Centre: 19 miles. Prospect House is superbly placed for the town and country being less than half a mile from the market square of this delightful town, often known as The Capital of The Peak, surrounded by the Peak National Park. The countryside and surrounding hills are just as convenient, as is the railway station providing a regular service to Manchester city centre and the cultural centre of Buxton. The high school is perfectly placed, just down the road and within a short walk; rated outstanding by Ofsted and complemented by the primary school rated Good. There are a number of excellent private schools within reach including Stockport Grammar, King's School Macclesfield (both with coach services to the town) and Cheadle Hulme School. The town has a wonderful array of independent restaurants, pubs and shops and a Morrisons supermarket plus a full range of leisure facilities including golf courses, a leisure centre, livery and all the Peak District National Park has to offer for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits. Description Prospect House appears to have Georgian origins, arguably earlier, and offers delightful family accommodation arranged over two floors. The layout offers the potential to create a separate self-contained area for dependent relatives and great flexibility within the remaining rooms, including a fabulous first floor sitting room which would make a breath-taking and indulgent master bedroom suite if preferred. The breakfast kitchen is well appointed and

3 includes a large island and a range of integrated appliances and a range cooker. The house stands within generous gardens, lawned to the side and rear with a secure boat or caravan area and stone flagged parking area with stone gate posts. The original Georgian front door entrance lies at the side and opens into a stone flagged hallway with the lounge lying off to the left. This attractive room has a bay to the front and a stone fireplace and hearth with a living flame gas fire. On the far side of the hall is a larger room currently used as games/playroom with two windows to the south elevation and a superb stone fireplace and hearth with a wood burning stove. This room would form the living room of the self-contained apartment. An inner hall gives access to a boot room with a conservatory beyond and a door leads off to the lovely dining room with an internal door to the garage. A staircase leads up from the dining room to the fabulous vaulted sitting room. An amazing room with exposed trusses, a wood burning stove and a small bedroom off which could provide an en suite bathroom if this were converted into an indulgent master bedroom suite. The remaining ground floor accommodation includes the well-appointed breakfast kitchen with a range cooker, integrated appliances and a large island. There is a pantry store and a boiler cupboard off. The family entrance from the parking area leads into a rear hall and utility room with a shower room/cloakroom off; perfect for showering dogs after a long walk and part of the area which would create the separate apartment. The bedrooms are accessed by two separate staircases, one to the vaulted sitting room and the second, from the hall, leading to a central landing off which there are lovely period doors to the master bedroom and three further bedrooms including a guest suite with an en suite shower room and dressing room. The master bedroom has a bay to the side and an adjoining dressing room. It features wonderfully wide floor boards, a Georgian cast fireplace and views to the hills. These bedrooms are served by a house bathroom with wainscot panelling, a white suite and an over bath shower. The mainly lawned gardens extend to three sides of the house and are walled to the boundaries. There is a greenhouse and a garden store, a pretty Georgian gate to the side, a wood store and a bin store. Tenure: Freehold Local Authority: High Peak Viewing: Strictly by appointment with Savills
