This detached Grade II listed stone farmhouse of great character dates back over 300 years, and is famous as the birthplace of the renowned painter and sculptor Sir Francis Chantrey, who was born here in 1781. The farmhouse is located in a semi-rural position, just off the ring road, on the outskirts of the city of Sheffield, and benefits from all the amenities and services the city has to offer, this includes a large park, and a Leisure Centre within easy walking distance. A short drive will take you into the Peak District National Park with nearby Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, the pretty market town of Bakewell, and some excellent walking in the Hope Valley and Edale at the beginning of the Pennine Way. |
