Bradley Hall proudly presents this exceptional Grade II listed stone-built residence, boasting approximately 1 acre of meticulously manicured formal gardens and woodlands. The property offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside from every angle. Steeped in history, Cookson House, dating back to the early/mid 1800s, represents the east wing of Colepike Hall and preserves many of its original architectural marvels.

Upon entering, you are greeted by solid wood flooring that gracefully flows through the hallway and onto the spacious landing. The grand living room awaits, adorned with original shutters, cornices, and architraves, and features a magnificent open fire that sets a tone of elegance and warmth. Continuing through the hallway, a handy storage cupboard and a large window overlooking the shared courtyard provide an abundance of natural light.

The dining room features a charming log burner embraced by a granite and stone surround, while an adjacent office/boot room offers versatile space. The kitchen boasts sleek, high-quality wall and base units complemented by a granite worktop and matching upstands, equipped with integrated appliances including a Whirlpool coffee machine, Bosch oven, Miele dishwasher, and full-length fridge and freezer. A utility/laundry room and toilet complete the ground floor.

Ascending to the upper level, the master bedroom beckons with its large bay windows adorned with original features like a maid's bell, leading seamlessly to a fifth bedroom/dressing room. The Jack and Jill bathroom, featuring half tiling, includes a luxurious bath, walk-in shower, basin, and matching cabinetry. The remaining bedrooms boast fitted wardrobes and unique character touches. The main bathroom offers further indulgence with a bath, shower, basin, and airing cupboard.

Outside, there is an outside storage cupboard. To the front of the property, gravelled seating areas provide spaces for relaxation and entertainment. The property also features floodlights illuminating the expansive formal gardens. A fully fenced paddock leads to the woodland. A double garage, currently repurposed as a gym with storage space, sits adjacent to the large, gravelled drive, offering ample parking.

This historic and elegant residence perfectly combines modern comfort with timeless charm, making it an ideal home for those seeking both luxury and character in a serene countryside setting.

To the west of this delightful country home is open countryside with rolling fields interspersed with bridle paths as well as the Derwent walk railway path and Derwent Reservoir.
