The drawing room is a well-proportioned, dual aspect room with oak flooring and a hob grate fireplace and hearth, which is flanked by low level bookcases. A door leads through into the dining room with a fine wide bay window with double doors out onto a terrace giving lovely views over open countryside and an original marble fireplace. The kitchen/breakfast room has a range of low level units and original built-in cupboards, a two oven oil fired AGA and a central island with integrated sink unit. From the kitchen there is a walk in larder, a large boiler cupboard with floor mounted Trianco Redfyre boiler and a scullery with original fitted cupboards, further storage, sink unit and plumbing for a dishwasher, which then leads through to a useful freezer/store room. Off the rear of the kitchen is a good sized utility room with sink, washing machine and tumble dryer spaces and a stable door to the garden.

Situation

Gild Low is in an enviable, elevated position with lovely views over the village of Great Longstone and the countryside beyond but also within a short walk of the village. The village has an excellent primary school, church, two good local public houses and a small shop. The market town of Bakewell is a short drive away with its more extensive shopping and recreational facilities and the larger conurbations of Chesterfield and Sheffield are also relatively close by with their larger selection of facilities including trains to London St Pancras. The property is in the heart of the Peak District National Park and therefore has good access to a wide array of outdoor activities including climbing, walking, cycling, riding and fishing to name but a few. There are many nearby cultural attractions such as Chatsworth, Haddon Hall, Eyam Hall and the spa town of Buxton. Great Longstone is within the catchment for the well renowned Lady Manners Secondary school and also S. Anselms prep school in nearby Bakewell.
