Originally built in 1780, Carr Meadow Cottages has been extensively refurbished within the last 12 years by the current owners. The renovation has been carried out with two guiding principles: preserving the historical character of the home while significantly improving its energy efficiency, a rare achievement for a property of this age. Set within approximately 1.5 acres, the property is positioned on the edge of some of the region’s most attractive countryside.

Throughout the property, the quality of the work is evident. Traditional features such as exposed beams, open fireplaces with multi-fuel burners, window seats, and original architectural details have been carefully retained and restored. At the same time, the property has undergone major upgrades including rewiring, replumbing, replastering, reroof, the installation of double-glazed windows throughout and with the addition of sliding secondary glazing on most windows along with the installation of a wood pellet heating system.

The accommodation offers flexibility, with up to five bedrooms, two reception rooms, a large family kitchen / diner and a smaller kitchen / utility room, two bathrooms and additional wc. This makes the property well-suited to multi-generational living, guest accommodation, private working from home or simply generous family space. The property is heated by a valuable green energy system that supports the property’s eco-conscious upgrades. There is an opportunity to benefit from a further 8 years of Renewable Heat Incentive payments.

Outside, the gardens and grounds have been landscaped and developed into an incredibly private space throughout. Mature planting, fruit trees, winding paths, and carefully placed beds give the gardens structure and interest throughout the year. A private area of woodland forms part of the grounds, complete with trails, wooden bridges, a stream, a hut, and even a small waterfall. A gate at the far end opens directly onto National Trust land, providing immediate access to extensive local walks across the Kinder Scout area and beyond. This space has such an incredible energy when you visit.

Two substantial outbuildings sit adjacent to the house, the larger with double doors and additional access currently used as a wood store and the other as a garden store, both of which have recently been reroofed.

Carr Meadow Cottages is a rare example of a period property that combines character, stunning setting and modern comfort in equal measure, all in a peaceful location that remains well connected to the surrounding area.
