Marsden, HD7 6NN

ABOUT THE OLD GATEHOUSE This wonderfully unique residence occupies a fabulous semi-rural position about half a mile out of the village, close to the most northern boundary of the Peak District National Park. It enjoys some tremendous views over the surrounding countryside and right across towards Butterley Reservoir, Wessenden Moor, and the dramatic landscapes of the Pennine hills. The official Grade II listing refers to it formerly being 2 cottages believed to have been built in the late 1700s/early 1800s, and then later extended to the rear during the 1900s. It is full of character and charm with stone mullioned windows, exposed beams, and a multi-fuel stove in the dining room. Unusually for a semi-rural property, The Old Gatehouse has all mains services. Externally, it has ample parking to the side of the house and access up to a large, paved terrace and on to extensive gardens and grounds to the rear of the property. Also at the rear, you will find a stone-built barn with the ruins of adjoining buildings to both sides. This provides an exciting opportunity to convert and rebuild creating an additional dwelling/annexe (subject to planning approvals) and we are informed by the current owner that they have already installed some services to the barn in readiness for any future conversion. There is an additional piece of land on the opposite side of the road. It all sits firmly within Greenbelt designated land.
