The History
The cottage dates back to the 1830s and forms part of a Georgian terrace. It was later extended during the Victorian and Edwardian periods, which explains the mix of architectural styles and period detailing throughout the house.
It is said that the property was once occupied by the manager of the former mill that stood opposite, on the site where a campsite is now located. The wider area reflects the industrial heritage of the Sett Valley, which historically supported mill activity and related trades.
Many original Victorian features remain in the house, including cast iron fireplaces, sash windows with shutters, tiled floors, ceiling roses and cornicing, all of which contribute to its historic character.
The Location
The property sits on Kinder Road in Hayfield, a rural village in the High Peak district of Derbyshire.
Hayfield lies at the foot of Kinder Scout and is within easy reach of Kinder Reservoir, the Snake Path and the Pennine Way. In one direction you can head towards Edale and the A57 Snake Pass, while the Sett Valley Trail runs close by.
The village offers coffee houses, delis, restaurants and everyday amenities, while maintaining a traditional rural feel. There are road and rail links providing access to Manchester and Sheffield.
The surrounding landscape includes wooded valley slopes, open moorland and established walking and cycling routes. Views from the property extend towards Kinder Low End and the wider Peak District scenery. Less than one hundred yards away, in the opposite direction from the top garden, is The Sportsman public house.
Overall, the setting offers village convenience alongside immediate access to open countryside
