Denise White Estate Agents Comments

Nestled in the picturesque village of Butterton, Bank House is a quintessential Grade II listed stone-built cottage believed to date back to the mid-18th century. Steeped in history and overflowing with period character and cottage charm, this enchanting home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Staffordshire Moorlands heritage.

Lovingly maintained and beautifully presented by the current owner, the cottage effortlessly blends traditional features-including exposed beams, wooden sash windows, and an oil-fired Rayburn-with tasteful modern comforts.

An entrance hall welcomes you to the Cottage, with stairs leading to the first floor and a door opening to the delightful Dining Kitchen, complete with granite worktops, quality built-in appliances, and the Rayburn providing both warmth and hot water. A useful Utility Room adjoins the Kitchen, offering space for white goods, ample storage, and access via a wooden stable door to the gardens. To the front of the property, a cosy Lounge enjoys the charm of a multi-fuel stove, exposed beams, and sash windows, creating a truly homely atmosphere.

Upstairs, a spacious landing with exposed beams leads to Two Generous Double Bedrooms, each boasting wonderful views over the gardens and the rolling countryside beyond. The recently refitted family bathroom is a true highlight, featuring a freestanding double-ended roll-top bath, walk-in rainfall shower, and a distinctive metal wash basin, combining luxury with rustic charm.

Externally, the south-facing gardens wrap around the front and side of the cottage, offering secluded seating areas, mature planting, gravel pathways, and lawns, all designed to make the most of the sun and the stunning outlook. Discreetly positioned behind the cottage lies a Garden Studio, ideal for hobbies, a home office, or even a creative retreat.

Across the driveway, the detached annex provides a fantastic opportunity for multi-generational living or potential holiday accommodation (subject to any necessary consents). The annex comprises a Living Kitchen fitted with solid oak units and marble work surfaces, a shower room, and a mezzanine bedroom area, together with its own private paved seating area overlooking a small parcel of land complete with a timber summer house-currently home to some very contented chickens!

Perfectly positioned in the heart of Butterton, just a stone’s throw from the renowned Black Lion Inn and surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside in the Peak District, Bank House combines the romance of a period cottage with versatile living and a truly enviable location.

A viewing is essential to appreciate the exceptional character, charm, and lifestyle this unique home has to offer.
