The Old Farm House

Tunstead Milton | Whaley Bridge | High Peak | Derbyshire | SK23 7ES

SELLER INSIGHT

The Old Farm House was my parents’ cherished home for 27 years. What first drew them to this special place were the breath-taking views and the serene location—overlooking the valley and hills, the scenery is simply stunning. Many friends have remarked that the house resembles the charming cottage from the film The Holiday, and it’s easy to see why.”

“During their time here, my parents lovingly modernised and extended the property, adding their own touches while preserving its unique charm. One of their standout projects was converting the garage into a studio flat above, offering great potential for various uses. They also added a downstairs shower and toilet, making the main home even more functional.”

“The grounds were a particular joy for my mum, who took full advantage of the front paddock area to keep animals. She adored her small holding and this housed goats, chickens and ducks, she was especially fond of her one-legged duck! She became well-known in the area for her dedication to helping local animals.”

“The large formal sitting room was a favourite space in the house, featuring a spectacular, large fireplace that serves as a true centrepiece and wow factor, retaining its original charm. The house is full of character, with thick traditional walls and original height doors that contribute to its cosy farmhouse feel.”

“The views from the front of the house are truly remarkable, to the front the sweeping valley and Combs reservoir and from the master bedroom, you can see sheep grazing just outside the window—a tranquil sight. The garden offers stunning sunrises and sunsets, with views over the reservoir and valley that are simply out of this world. My parents often enjoyed sitting on the bench, taking in the scenery. The walled courtyard, with its mature, almost wild space, was another of my mum’s favourite spots. She loved feeding the birds there and watching them flock—this space was her pride and joy.”

“The property is ideal for entertaining, with ample outdoor space that flows seamlessly into the house. We’ve hosted countless family BBQs here, and Christmas has always been magical with the big open fire in the sitting room. We’ve created so many wonderful family memories in this home.”

“We’ve been blessed with wonderful neighbours—helpful, friendly, and part of a lovely community. The location offers the best of both worlds: secluded tranquillity with easy access to local eateries, pubs, and shops. The nearby village of Combs, with its incredible pub, The Beehive, is a particular gem, and it’s just a pleasant walk from the house.”

“As we prepare to say goodbye to The Old Farm House, I know we will deeply miss the views, the memories, and the connection to Dad, Mum, and her animals. This is the perfect family home, the possibilities in this beautiful place are truly endless and we hope that another family will find as much joy and love here as we did.”*
