Peak District's historic 17th century bath house is on the market with planning permission for residential conversion

An exceptionally rare opportunity to buy a 17th century historic bath house in the Peak District and turn it into a lovely home is up for grabs.

The property in Bath Gardens in the heart of Bakewell dates back to 1687 and is now on the market for £450,000.

Planning consent is in place to convert the Grade II listed building - comprising Bath House and Haig House – into two residential dwellings. One of the proposed properties contains five bedrooms and the other has three bedrooms.

Features include the original spa bath which boasts an arched gritstone vaulted ceiling which would serve as the central hub for living, dining and kitchen activities in the proposed conversion.

Bath House proposal includes a playroom, study/home office and an open plan living dining kitchen on the ground floor with five bedrooms arranged over the first, second and third floors where there would also be bathroom facilities. There would be a private garden inclusive of stone outbuildings. The main access would open onto Bath Gardens.

Haig House proposal includes a dining kitchen, dining room, sitting room, bedroom and shower room on the ground floor with two double bedrooms and a family bathroom on the upper floor. A courtyard would be accessed from the dining kitchen.

The freehold property will be sold with vacant possession. For further information, call estate agent Bagshaws of Bakewell on 01629 812777.
