Denise White Agent Comments

Standing proudly against an impressive backdrop of the renowned Roaches within the Peak District National Park, the charming and historic Old Ramshaw School is a truly distinctive residence offering an exceptional blend of character, charm, and versatile family living throughout. Rich in original features and enjoying breath-taking countryside surroundings, this unique home presents an opportunity rarely available to the market.

Upon entering the property, a useful porch area is perfect for muddy boots and coats which leads through to a spacious inner hall with original exposed ceiling beams and an attractive stone archway.

The heart of the home is the impressive lounge, a wonderfully spacious and inviting reception area featuring a striking exposed brick fireplace incorporating a fitted log burner, creating a warm focal point. Adding further character and individuality is the double height ceiling showcasing the impressive arch windows with the mezzanine first floor landing overlooking. Within the lounge, a concealed trap door provides access to a useful basement room, offering excellent versatility as a study, games room, hobby room, or additional storage space (with limited headspace).

Leading through from the lounge is a cosy snug area, ideal for relaxing or informal seating, which in turn opens into the dining room, conveniently linking back through to the entrance hallway and providing an excellent flow for modern family living and entertaining.

Positioned to the rear of the property is the superb kitchen diner, finished to a high standard and fitted with quality quartz worktops alongside a range of fitted units and integrated appliances. The kitchen enjoys fabulous far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside and benefits from double doors opening onto the rear courtyard, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.

The ground floor accommodation is further complemented by a downstairs double bedroom which is serviced by a well-appointed family bathroom with free standing bath and separate shower.

To the first floor, the property continues to impress with three further bedrooms. Bedroom One benefits from fitted storage and a private ensuite shower room, whilst Bedrooms Two and Three offer flexible accommodation suitable for family living, guests, or home working requirements.

Externally, the property sits comfortably within a well proportioned plot with gated access to off road parking for multiple cars and leading to a large garage and useful outhouse. A rear courtyard enjoys a delightful setting with attractive views across the neighbouring countryside, further enhancing the appeal of this characterful and deceptively spacious home. There is a large lawned area enclosed with mature hedgerow creating ample space for children and pets to roam freely.

Location

Discover the breathtaking beauty of The Roaches, a prominent rocky ridge located above Leek and Tittesworth Reservoir in the Staffordshire Peak District of England. Rising steeply to 505 m (1,657 ft), this iconic landmark is part of a renowned gritstone escarpment that includes Ramshaw Rocks and Hen Cloud, making it a popular destination for hikers, rock climbers, and free runners alike.

Acquired by the Peak District National Park Authority in the 1980s, The Roaches Estate is expertly managed by Staffordshire Wildlife Trust, ensuring the preservation of its stunning landscapes and rich biodiversity. On clear days, visitors can enjoy spectacular views that stretch across Cheshire, reaching as far as Snowdon in Wales and Winter Hill in Lancashire.

The Roaches is not only a haven for outdoor recreation but also a sanctuary for wildlife. Designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (sssi) and part of the South Pennine Moor Special Area for Conservation (sac), the area boasts internationally important habitats, including blanket bog and upland moorland. It is home to a variety of specialist breeding and wintering birds, such as curlew, red grouse, and tree pipit.

Located conveniently from major nearby towns. The Roaches offers an unparalleled experience for nature lovers and adventure seekers and is approximately 12 miles (19 km) from Leek, 22 miles (35 km) from Buxton, and 24 miles (39 km) from Macclesfield.

Experience the magnificence of The Roaches-where stunning rock faces and heather-covered hillsides create one of Staffordshire’s most photographed landscapes.
