Spacious, centrally located end of terrace townhouse spread over four floors. The property was once a Victorian School for girls and has been sympathetically modernised to retain many original features. The property has four en-suite bedrooms, a reception room, a dining room, an extended modern kitchen and a basement sitting room. It sits in a prominent, elevated position with a stepped split level garden to the front giving a commanding view over the town and the Derbyshire countryside beyond. Ground floor level access is to the rear of the property from a quiet cobbled, dead-end road with private off-road parking for two cars. This leads to a small enclosed south-facing courtyard and backdoor entrance into the kitchen. From the front the house is accessed through the terraced garden with the front door opening to a porch with stained glass windows leading to a light, airy hallway with staircase and doors off to the front living room and rear dining room. The kitchen connects to the dining room with a separate corner door leading to a stone staircase to the basement. The basement houses a small utility area with washing machine and dryer. It also has a shower room and a second large sitting/relaxation room with a large satellite and internet enabled surround sound TV, making this an ideal relaxing space. The basement can also be accessed from a separate side entrance that opens to a quiet pedestrian pathway along the side of the house. The four spacious bedrooms are split over the first and second floors, each with its own well appointed en-suite, underfloor heated, bathroom. Three bedrooms are configured with king sized double beds and one bedroom has two single beds. A separate WC is located on the first floor landing. The country style kitchen is well stocked with breakfast bar, range cooker, integrated dishwasher, toaster, kettle, coffee machine and ample storage. The house is well insulated with modern central heating.

We fell in love at first sight with this beautifully renovated house, retaining many original features including two stunning Derbyshire stone fireplaces and cast iron surrounds in all the bedrooms. The dining room still has its original Victorian red and black floor tiles which combined with William Morris wallpaper really gives an authentic historic ambience. The tastefully decorated bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms, make the house feel like a top end hotel with the added space and comfort of home. It's an easy walk to Buxton town centre, either through the ancient Market place or the (traffic free) beautifully landscaped Victorian Pavilion gardens, so perfectly located for daily shops and amenities. Just as easy, from a footpath from the back of the house, you can be in the beautiful Grinlow Woods and if you feel energetic it is only a short invigorating walk up to Solomon's Temple with breathtaking views over Buxton and across the Derbyshire dales. This is our family holiday home that we love to share with like-minded visitors. For further information and to contact us direct please visit our webpage at: 'westroadbuxton' dot 'com'.

Buxton is a delightful and ancient Roman spa town where the world famous natural mineral waters come from. The town was designed by the Duke of Devonshire in the Victorian era when it became a fashionable and well-regarded health resort. With it's many period properties Buxton still has the air of Victorian elegance. The gardens include a boating lake, a bandstand and a Victorian glass hothouse complete with tropical plants and fish pond. At the weekends there is a market in the Pavilion Octagon and on a sunny day it's lovely to sit and watch the world go by at the various outdoor cafes. Nearby excursions can be easily made to the many regional historic houses such as Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and Lyme Park. Having a car is not necessary as only a few minutes walk will take you to the Market Place for buses to a wide range of destinations and if you feel the need for the buzz of a big city Manchester is only an hour by train. Alternatively a pleasant walk though the Pavilion Gardens takes you to the magnificent Crescent Hotel outside of which you can freely bottle your own Buxton mineral water direct from its source. There are also plenty of options to find an eatery or take cream teas in the many restaurants, cafes and teashops or go shopping at local independent or national retailers. The local pubs, such as The Sun Inn and The Cheshire Cheese, are very welcoming and serve tasty pub grub. It is, however, the welcoming Derbyshire hospitality that lends Buxton its friendly feel with the locals always ready to stop and chat.
