Steeped in history and beautifully restored, *The Cascades* began life as a corn mill dating back to 1823 and has since been transformed into an elegant four-storey home. Combining period charm with modern craftsmanship, this unique property offers over 4,000 sq ft of versatile living space in a truly picturesque setting.<br/><br/>Set in a peaceful location in the heart of the Peak District, the property offers both a tranquil retreat and an exciting opportunity, whether as a distinguished family home or a potential boutique bed and breakfast.<br/><br/>The house features two impressive reception rooms ideal for entertaining and relaxation. The grand dining room is filled with natural light from a striking bay window overlooking the first waterfall within the grounds and features a magnificent marble fireplace alongside beautiful period details. The living room provides a cosy and inviting space, centred around a Hopton marble fireplace.<br/><br/>Across the upper floors are five generously sized double bedrooms and four well-appointed bathrooms, each with its own character. The layout provides excellent space for family living while maintaining privacy across multiple levels.<br/><br/>The lower level, once the servant quarters, has been converted into a fully equipped basement with private access, ideal for independent teenagers, guests, or additional living space. A separate annex, positioned beside the second waterfall, offers a peaceful retreat for visiting family or guests. A conveniently located WC near the main house adds further practicality.<br/><br/>When the current owners purchased The Cascades in 1996, the property was derelict and surrounded by wilderness. Over the years it has undergone extensive refurbishment, including the restoration of the previously unused second floor, replacement of the roof, new electrics and plumbing, and the creation of the beautiful landscaped gardens seen today.<br/><br/>Bonsall is a historic village in the Derbyshire Dales, just a short drive from Matlock. Surrounded by stunning countryside, the village offers a welcoming community, a traditional pub, a charming café, and access to scenic walking routes including the Limestone Way.<br/><br/>Nearby Matlock provides a range of shops, amenities, and transport links, making Bonsall an ideal location for those seeking a characterful home in a peaceful yet well-connected setting.
