A brochure on their website reads: "[sic]... standing in grounds of around 5.5 acres, with stabling for four horses and some truly stunning views, situated in the sought after hamlet of Wildboarclough."

"This farmhouse dates back to the early 1700's and enjoys some of the best views in the area.

"The property is accessed via a private road leading to stabling for four horses, a tack room and the farmhouse currently offering two bedrooms and two reception rooms and there is an attached large barn which could be converted into additional living accommodation.

"The accommodation is in need of some updating and includes a farmhouse style kitchen with AGA, a lounge with fabulous views, exposed beams and floorboards and a wood burning stove and a dining room with an open fire and also enjoying magnificent views.

"An inner hall leads to an attractively upgraded shower room and gives access to the first floor with two large double bedrooms enjoying wonderful views.

"The attached stone built barn with exposed beams has recently been re-roofed and is ready for conversion (subject to the relevant planning permission and building regulations), which could almost double the size of the accommodation.

The statles fit for multiple horses. (Image - Gascoigne Halman)

"Externally there are further stone outbuildings, formal gardens and grazing land stretching to both the front and rear of the house.

"[This is] a superb opportunity for the discerning purchaser looking for idyllic country living with equestrian facilities."

With the Three Shires Head and Shutlingsloe on your doorstep, lovers of the great outdoors will beel right at home here.

According to Rightmove, the average house price in Wildboarclough is £880,000. So this property is less than the average sale price. (Image - Gascoigne Halman)

Located within the Peak District, the nearest businesses to the home are The Ship Inn pub in Wincle, Wincle Brewing Co and Crag Spring Water.
