Nestled in the picturesque Pennines, on the edge of Derbyshire and with views to Lyme Park, the civil parish of Kettleshulme offers an unrivalled country lifestyle. The area is popular with walkers exploring the Peak District but is also very accessible from Chapel-en-le-Frith and Whaley Bridge through to Macclesfield and beyond. On the banks of Todd Brook lies Reed Farm, an historical stone period farmhouse with a cottage and annexe, offering a myriad of opportunities for the discerning purchaser.

Set in over 2 acres of beautifully laid out gardens with a vegetable patch, wildlife meadow and wooded areas, the charming stone buildings provide for flexible family and lifestyle accommodation. The main family home was constructed in the 1700’s with subsequent extensions in keeping with the style of the original and maintaining its period character features. A detached barn conversion provides a two-bedroom Cottage, and an Annexe can be used as multigenerational lodging or as an income generating rental or holiday let. Additionally, there are three stone-built stables and a garage with a home gym above it.

The main house offers substantial living space downstairs with four sizable bedrooms upstairs. The large living room features exposed wooden beams, wooden flooring, and a cosy multifuel burner. It leads to a lovely sunny conservatory with double doors opening on to the garden. A separate dining room is ideal for formal entertaining. The farm kitchen is huge with stunning wooden cabinetry, feature light fittings and exposed beams. It has an original AGA, granite countertops and includes a kitchen diner / breakfast bar. The freezer and dishwasher are integrated into the units and a separate pantry offers ample storage space, as does an under-stair storage cupboard. A practical utility room supplements the kitchen and there is a downstairs shower room with WC.

Upstairs are four good-sized bedrooms, two of which feature original exposed ceiling beams. The period bathroom has porcelain tiled flooring with under floor heating, a freestanding roll top bath, period basin unit and a traditional WC.

The Cottage has an open plan kitchen / dining area under vaulted ceiling with original beams. The kitchen units are neatly finished with a wooden countertop, space for a cooker and an integral dishwasher. There is a utility room and a rear porch. The ground floor also includes a shower room and bedroom with built in cupboards. On the first floor is another bedroom with Velux windows set in the vaulted ceiling. The garage includes stairs to the first-floor gym which also has vaulted ceilings with original beams.

The Annexe has a charming living room with a log burner and stone floors. Stairs lead to the mezzanine bedroom with vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and Velux windows.

The property is enclosed with dry stone walls and a wooden farm gate. There is a gravel driveway that provides for ample turning space and parking. This unique property is definitely worth a viewing.
