Property description
Standing on a generous plot with far reaching views, this stone built, four bedroom farmhouse is full of character and boasts internal accommodation in the region of 2,000 square feet.
The property does require refurbishment and had planning previously for the creation of a driveway. However, this gives the successful buyer scope to modernise and adapt the layout to create an outstanding family home in a rural setting.
Midhopestones is a small hamlet of stone built properties, mostly of an agricultural nature. It is located on the edge of the Peak District, yet provides easy access to the new Fox Valley shopping complex, plus Stocksbridge and Penistone town centres. Commuters benefit from direct links, via the Stocksbridge bypass and Woodhead Pass, to both Sheffield and Manchester.
The accommodation comprises: Lounge, dining room, kitchen, utility (potential to knock through into external store to create another reception room), first floor landing, four bedrooms and a family bathroom.
GROUND FLOOR:
LOUNGE 17‘ 7" x 14‘ 2" (5.36m x 4.32m) Having both front and rear facing windows, this principal reception room is currently incomplete, but does feature exposed stone walls and original ceiling beams.
FAMILY/DINING ROOM 17‘ 4" x 16‘ 6" (5.28m x 5.03m) Again with windows to front and rear, this second reception room features a stone fireplace with solid fuel fire, plus four wall light points.

A staircase leads to the first floor, which has a useful pantry cupboard beneath with trapdoor access to the cellar.
UTILITY ROOM 12‘ 4" x 5‘ 11" (14‘ 11" if knocked through to external store) (3.76m x 1.8m) Currently, this room has a window looking through to the external store.
