The seller’s insight says: "My father actually owned a property and some land not far from here so we were very familiar with the area and it's an absolutely stunning location, so when we happened upon Dale Brook House we jumped at the chance to live here.
"The property is enveloped by glorious open countryside that's owned by the Chatsworth Estate, so the views will never be spoilt, and the house itself, although in a bit of a sorry state when we found it, is absolutely beautiful. It was originally built in 1604 and it began life as a rather modest dwelling, however over time it has been sympathetically enlarged and it's now a lovely big family home.""The location was a major selling point, but the wealth of potential that we could see in the house itself was also a huge draw.
"We decided to strip it right back with the aim of sympathetically restoring it to its former glory, but at the same time making it a house that would be very conducive to modern family life, and we couldn't be more pleased with the results. It was a real voyage of discovery as we uncovered lots of the stunning original features, including the big old fireplaces and even a secret door!”
