LOCATION
Old Glossop is widely regarded as the most charming and historic part of the town, known for its period streets, welcoming pubs and brewery taprooms, and its village-like sense of community.
Positioned on the edge of the Peak District, the area offers immediate access to scenic walking routes, open moorland and some of the region’s most celebrated trails.
Only a short stroll away, Manor Park, once the formal gardens of a grand mansion, feels like a natural extension of the home, offering space for morning runs, picnics, and community events.
Glossop itself provides a strong mix of everyday amenities, including cafés, restaurants, independent shops and useful transport links.
Well-regarded schooling and a range of leisure facilities contribute to its family-friendly appeal, while the railway station offers a straightforward, direct connection to Manchester for work or leisure.
HERITAGE
Homes of this scale, pedigree and versatility seldom come to market in Glossop.
Hawkshead House has long been associated with figures central to Glossop’s history and it reflected the status and ambition of its owners.
It once belonged to Isaac Jackson, an influential local inventor and industrialist whose innovations at Hawkshead Mill shaped much of the town’s prosperity.
Over the decades, it was extended and adapted, each change adding to its distinctive character.
The current owners have sensitively restored the residence, preserving its historic features while integrating contemporary comforts, creating a home that perfectly blends past and present.
With its combination of heritage architecture, high-quality modernisation, excellent privacy and direct access to countryside, Hawkshead House offers an exceptional lifestyle in one of the area’s most desirable settings.
