Reading, cooking and travelling may be Brits’ top hobbies, but we think ‘browsing online for fabulous houses’ should be added to the list too.
There is something so very enjoyable about checking out gorgeous houses - even if they’re totally out of your budget - dreaming of the home you deserve.
Stunning doesn’t quite sum up Stancliffe Hall which has become available in Matlock, Derbyshire.
It can be yours if you make an offer over £6 million.
The country estate with a fabulous Grade II listed hall is set in over 30 acres of private grounds.
If the parkland setting wasn’t enough to woo you, will a sumptuous leisure suite with pool and gymnasium do the trick?
The Grade II listed hall has been sympathetically restored to the highest standards over the last 15 to 20 years and enjoys a fabulous position close to the Peak District National Park.
The Main Hall includes fabulous living quarters.
There is also a commercial wing with further accommodation and its own historic cedar-clad chapel complete with wedding licence.
This means the property could not only be a family home, but also double up as a boutique hotel and wedding venue.
Apart from families seeking a grand family home or entrepreneurs seeking a wedding venue with a twist, we can imagine a few famous faces living here.
Hollywood royalty have deep pockets, and we guess it would be nice to see some famous faces around Derbyshire.
Tom Cruise reportedly splashed out £3 million for a West Sussex country pad in 2006, which was then bought by Peter Andre 10 years later for £5 million. So, these two celebs could definitely afford to be potential buyers.
Stancliffe Hall’s property’s agents describe this as a ‘rare opportunity and one not to be missed.’
You can book a viewing of this property online here.
