Snelston is built around the Gothic style Hall. Old Queen Farm is located not too far from the popular Norbury C of E Primary School, and within a few miles there a number of private schools - Abbotsholme School and Denstone College. Owner's perspective - "Old Queen Farm is an idyllic farm house set in a beautiful backdrop with far reaching views of some the Peak District national parks most iconic scenery. Looking out through fields dotted with oak trees across the weaver hills, Thorpe cloud and Dovedale, the vista from the ample gardens and land is stunning. A short walk down the footpath at the end of the garden leads to the chocolate box hamlet of Snelston. A beautiful walk on a sunny day that myself and my family enjoy regularly. The property its self is set in sumptuous gardens with lovely lawns and a large and well tended vegetable garden, complete with a sizeable, Victorian style, greenhouse. Inside; the house the rooms are large and welcoming, with a few hidden features to surprise guests. The annex is surprisingly large and yet cosy at the same time and would make a great holiday let. It has served us as an office for our business and the previous owners as a dependency unit which demonstrates its versatility. There is storage in abundance with the connecting barn and office and the room above the double garage. It has been a wonderful and unique place to live, raise children and entertain guests and will forever hold a special place in our hearts."Location - what3words: ///chap.replayed.fuse - Postcode: DE6 2DPAgent's notes - Tenure: Freehold.
