Birch Vale, High Peak, SK22 1BZ

This exceptional five-bedroom detached house has been fully renovated to an exacting standard, offering contemporary living in a tranquil, semi-rural setting. The heart of the home is an impressive open plan kitchen and dining space, complete with sleek integrated appliances, a central island, and bifold doors that flood the area with natural light and provide seamless access to the garden. A versatile bar and snug area offers the perfect spot for entertaining or relaxing, while four modern bathrooms (including two ensuites) ensure comfort and convenience for family and guests. The principal bedroom features a luxurious ensuite and a private dressing area, creating a true retreat. Practical features include an electric car charger, solar panels with battery storage, and parking for at least five vehicles on the expansive driveway. The property’s energy efficiency is further enhanced by its EPC rating (to be confirmed). With a detached stone-built garage and outbuilding offering potential for conversion (subject to planning), this home combines style, sustainability, and space in a highly desirable location.

The outside space is a true showstopper, with a professionally landscaped, multi-tiered rear garden designed for both luxury entertaining and low maintenance. Step out from the bifold or French doors onto an expansive Indian stone flagged patio, where you will find a dedicated outdoor dining area beneath a contemporary louvred pergola, as well as a sunken terrace perfect for an outdoor lounge suite. The central lawn is accented by inset stepping stones and a striking circular stone-walled planter, all fully enclosed by modern timber fencing for privacy and security. Upper tiers feature drystone retaining walls, integrated timber planters, and a gravel pathway leading to elevated sections of the plot. Additional highlights include a spacious garden shed, secure side access, and a sun-drenched front courtyard patio ideal for morning coffee. The property is approached via a private, sweeping driveway that opens into a generous tarmac courtyard, providing ample parking and access to the detached garage, which had planning permission for a two bedroom annexe conversion. (now lapsed.) Nestled against mature woodland and neighbouring an expansive green field and play area, this property offers an idyllic setting with direct access to open space, making it perfect for families and those seeking a country lifestyle with modern comforts.
