Steeped In History
The Grade II listed Tunstead House was built in the early 19th century and has been altered and extended since. The prominent house now stands proudly as a part of the area’s rich history.
The house is situated amidst the beautiful and hilly landscapes of Kinder Scout, near the Kinder Reservoir in the Peak District National Park. It used to be a farmhouse and has served as a guest house in the past. Nowadays, it is a private residence and an ideal spot for nature enthusiasts to enjoy the serene atmosphere. The interior layout lends itself to a multi-generational family or generating income with self-contained accommodations.
Meticulous care was taken to restore the house’s distinctive and grand gritstone exterior and stone roof. Decorative elements include stone chimney stacks and gables, while the doorway features a curved arch and fanlight. Windows with secondary glazing flank the entrance, adding to the property's charm.
The rear of the house extension created a modern family space within a historic building. The garden room adds an additional living space via a glazed link.
