New Mills Road, Birch Vale, SK22

Formerly a public house “The Waltzing Weasel” is an imposing detached property, currently being operated as a successful traditional family run Bed and Breakfast. This amazing house dates back to the 17th Century, being nearly 400 years old, boasts many original features, such as Mullion windows, but has been lovingly care for over the past 10 and a half years by the current owners, spanning many eras. There are eight en-suite bedrooms and a one-bedroom residential apartment, offering a thriving business. However, the potential for this property is boundless, as it could be altered to a magnificent family home with spacious accommodation, converted to individual apartments, residential care, holiday lets or a holiday let for larger groups, a concept which is becoming increasingly popular, (all subject to the necessary planning consent and building regulations).
Situated in the High Peak along the side of the Sett Valley Trail, there are spectacular views of Kinder Scout and the surrounding countryside that can be enjoyed. The Waltzing Weasel makes an ideal venue for families, visitors, walkers, cyclists, or anyone who just want to take time to relax.
The picturesque village of Hayfield in the heart of the Peak District is nearby, nestled at the base of Kinder Scout, the highest point in the national park, and birthplace of the Right to Roam movement brought about by the Mass Trespass of 1932 nearby. This charming village is a haven for walkers, cyclists, and nature lovers. The village has a Primary School, a corner shop/post office, other local shops, pubs, cafes, and restaurants. Also benefitting from easy transport links to the nearby larger towns of New Mills, Glossop, and Chapel-en-le-Frith where you will find excellent Rail links to Manchester, Buxton and Sheffield.
As you enter the grounds, there is a sizeable main car park, a York Stone pathway to the side leading to the main entrance and an attractive raised lawned garden with well stocked flower beds. You cannot fail to notice the open countryside and hills in front of you, commanding magnificent views of Kinder Low and Lantern Pike.
When you walk into the entrance vestibule you are welcomed with an impressive oak staircase sweeping around to the galleried landing leading to the first floor and wall to ceiling picture windows looking out to the garden and countryside. From the ground floor hallway, you can access the two double bedrooms with en-suites, a formal guest dining area with wonderful views, substantial commercial kitchen and food preparation area, a bar and spacious lounge (currently used by the Vendors as their living room), a ladies and gents WC (used as storage) and various other rooms used as office space and further storage. There is also side access to the main car park. On the first floor are a further five double en-suite bedrooms, a single en-suite bedroom and access to the one-bedroom residential apartment comprising: spacious bathroom, a double bedroom, a living room, a laundry room and a linen room, stairs up to a sizeable, converted loft space with eaves storage and Velux windows giving ample natural light.
When viewing this property, we would suggest keeping an open mind as to the multiple use it offers, as a thriving business or residential accommodation.
