Set within the Peak District village of Elton, this stone-built cottage blends traditional character with substantial living space. Two reception rooms, a dining kitchen, three double bedrooms and two bathrooms sit within about 1,303 sq ft, all arranged over a comfortable, traditional layout. The property includes pleasant front and rear cottage gardens, driveway parking and a useful outbuilding — practical for storage or a small workshop.
The house has been in the same ownership for over 50 years and has been maintained to a fair standard. There is clear scope for updating and personalisation; the vendor’s description and EPC indicate potential to improve energy performance (Current D 61, Potential B 84). Gas central heating is installed and major services are reported as connected, but the cottage is described as needing renovation in parts and will suit buyers comfortable with an element of work.
Elton is a sought-after upland village with local walks, a primary school and community amenities close by, and easy road access to Bakewell, Matlock and Ashbourne. The property lies within the Peak District National Park and benefits from very low crime, excellent mobile signal and a very affluent surrounding area. Broadband speeds are slow, which may affect remote working without alternative solutions.
This house will appeal to downsizers and those seeking a characterful countryside base with scope to modernise. Important practical notes: the nearby primary school has an Inadequate Ofsted rating; the cottage is freehold and in Council Tax band D. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, period features and renovation potential.
