Shakespeare House has a fascinating history bearing a date stone of 1825, and we understand somewhat further parts of the cellars are reputed to date back to the 15th or 16th century and formed the foundations of a coaching inn known as the Shakespeare Tavern.
In the later years when the existing dwelling was constructed on those foundations it was, we understand, once in the ownership of a Director of the town's historic Hovis Mill.
Now this splendid dwelling provides a charming home with a number of distinct period features that include original fireplaces, high skirting boards, ceiling roses and hand crafted double glazed sash windows to name a few.
The accommodation has been extended with a substantial two storey extension to the side, an internal viewing is a must to fully appreciate the character and substantial accommodation on offer. The hub of the house is the most impressive kitchen, dining family room which is ideal for entreating. There are four further reception rooms. Whilst to the first floor there are four double bedrooms, with the master having an en-suite shower room and the remaining bedrooms are served by the recently upgraded bathroom.
The property occupies a substantial garden plot which has access onto both Buxton Road and Buxton Old Road and provides ample off-road parking and there is a large garage as well as other outhouses. The beautiful formal gardens are in a well established setting which comprises formal lawns, flower beds and attractive stone walling
