Willow Farm is an exceptional smallholding situated on approximately 8.37 acres of land within the Peak National Park, meticulously designed for equestrian pursuits. This property offers a remarkably private setting, accessible via a long driveway which leads to the main residence surrounded by breathtaking countryside views.

Ideal for equestrian enthusiasts or those seeking to establish a related business, Willow Farm is equipped with a menage, turn-out yards, nine stables, a tack room, and outbuildings that include field shelters and automatic drinkers.

The main property boasts modern architecture and is presented to a high specification, providing family-friendly accommodation. The layout includes an entrance hall, a downstairs wet room, an open-plan kitchen seamlessly integrated with a family area and dining space, which is thoughtfully sectioned into three distinct areas to enhance both family living and entertaining. Additional features comprise a separate sitting room, an office, and a utility room. On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms, including a main bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, as well as a shower room.

Also included on the property is a fully renovated ancillary holiday let, transformed from an existing barn into a charming one-bedroom stone cottage, complete with its own garden and driveway. This cottage features a spacious sitting room/dining area, a well-appointed breakfast kitchen, a downstairs toilet, and a generously sized double bedroom with an accompanying bathroom on the first floor. This holiday let presents an excellent opportunity for generating income, especially considering its proximity to local attractions such as Alton Towers. It could also serve as accommodation for riding holidays, utilising the menage and scenic country hacks available in the surrounding area.

Furthermore, one of the outbuildings, currently designated for equine use, has received planning approval for an additional holiday cottage granted in 2015. Additionally, a stone and timber L-shaped building located adjacent to the barn consists of five units designated for equestrian purposes.

Set in a picturesque location with stunning views, Willow Farm embodies a unique lifestyle opportunity, allowing residents to enjoy the tranquillity of the countryside alongside their horses while also providing potential income from the holiday let. The property offers significant future development possibilities for the new owner who may wish to expand its potential. This impressive smallholding truly deserves a personal viewing to appreciate its full offerings.
