Marsh Quarry, Eckington, Sheffield
£1,150,000 (Tenant Fees)

Red Lodge Farmhouse is an exceptional five/six-bedroom detached late Georgian farmhouse, beautifully restored and set within an idyllic rural position adjacent to the original converted farm buildings.

Dating back to the early 1800s, the property is approached via a long tree-lined lane, creating a wonderful sense of arrival and privacy. Lovingly renovated by the current owners over many years, the farmhouse combines elegant period character with stylish, thoughtfully designed interiors, all set within generous landscaped gardens.

The property enjoys a stunning countryside setting, bordered by open fields and farmland rich in wildlife, with far-reaching rural views enjoyed from many of the principal rooms. Character features typical of the Georgian period include high ceilings and mock sash windows, whilst significant improvements by the current owners include a reroof with new pan tiles, upgraded electrics with a new consumer unit, replacement windows throughout, and a zoned oil-fired heating system. The windows have also been professionally stripped and fully repainted within the last year.

The versatile accommodation extends across three floors and offers exceptional flexibility for modern family living, including additional rooms currently utilised as a cinema room and an impressive home office. Externally, the property benefits from extensive parking, garaging for four vehicles, and a superb summerhouse set within the private gardens.

Red Lodge Farmhouse offers a rare combination of period charm, privacy and beautifully balanced family accommodation. Despite its peaceful semi-rural setting, it is exceptionally well placed for access to Chesterfield, Dronfield and Eckington, all within approximately ten minutes’ drive, whilst Sheffield city centre and Junction 30 of the M1 motorway are also within easy reach.
