Bank Side, Brightholmlee, Sheffield, S35

**COMPLETE WITH APPROXIMATELY 20 ACRES OF TRANQUIL, PROTECTED GRAZING LAND** An extraordinary opportunity to acquire an imposing SEVEN BEDROOM detached period farmhouse, dating back to the 17th Century, and offering considerable residential, equestrian and agricultural appeal in a little-known, picturesque location within the Peak District National Park. Sympathetically modernised during an extensive restoration, including recently installed, solid Accoya windows throughout, this charming property has retained copious original features to include stonemasonry, vaulted ceilings, and exposed beams and trusses, whilst maximising the space through remarkable architectural design and mezzanine floors. Presently utilised as two separate dwellings, we shall explore The Farmhouse and The Barn separately. Set over three storeys, The Farmhouse briefly comprises of an inviting porch, contemporary open plan kitchen diner, exceptional living space featuring a large arched window- historically the entrance to the barn, and flooding the room with natural light, ground floor WC/ utility area, two luxury suites, both enjoying generous bedrooms, dressing areas and beautifully appointed en suites, and an additional, recently constructed third bedroom, benefitting from equally stylish en suite facilities. A handy, shared utility room continues into The Barn, a self-contained annexe boasting a further wealth of versatile accommodation, and currently generating a substantial rental income. Set over three floors, The Barn sees a breakfast kitchen, characterful living room, and a modern shower room to the ground floor, whilst four bedrooms reside to the first and second floor, the largest boasting a walk-in wardrobe and fabulous en suite showcasing a freestanding roll top bath set upon a mezzanine floor, alongside an additional family shower room. Enjoying a scenic approach, and orientated away from the quiet country lane upon which it is situated, the immediate grounds feature an ample, private driveway catering for numerous vehicles, a low maintenance, southerly aspect seating area, a stable block and a home office, both equipped with water, power and lighting. Idyllically located between three reservoirs in the rural hills of Sheffield, Snell House Farm enjoys its own natural water source, and lends itself to a family seeking a country life, with a wealth of resident wild animals and birds living off the land. Despite its rural tranquillity, Sheffield’s vibrant city centre is less than 10 miles away, hosting a wealth of everyday conveniences, recreational facilities, restaurants, bars, excellent major commuting links and schools for all age groups. Wharncliffe Side Primary School, having most recently achieved a good Ofsted rating, is just a brief drive away. For secondary education, this exclusive property is also within the catchment area for the well regarded Bradfield School, which is easily accessible by school bus. Viewings are highly recommended to fully appreciate the history, extensive yet sympathetic renovations, and outdoor space being offered for sale.
