Set over three compact floors, this mid-terrace Georgian cottage blends period character with practical town-centre living. Exposed oak beams, stone mullion windows and an original stone fireplace give the house an authentic, cosy feel; recent rear double glazing (2024) improves comfort while retaining charm. The property is chain free and offered freehold, with furniture available by separate negotiation.
Accommodation is efficiently arranged: ground-floor lounge and compact kitchen, first-floor double bedroom and shower room, and a top-floor double bedroom with a boutique-style standalone bath beneath a large Velux. Rooms are modest in scale, and the loft/upper rooms have lower ceilings and a compact footprint—suitable for a couple, small family or first-time buyer wanting character rather than large rooms. Note the decorative stove in bedroom one is a feature and not operational.
Outside there are two small but distinct outdoor spaces: a secluded courtyard directly off the kitchen accessed via a stable door, and a separate elevated garden a short walk along the road with wildflower planting and open views. There is scope (subject to planning consent) to improve connectivity between the upper floors and the elevated garden, which could add practical value but would require formal approvals.
Practical positives include very low council tax (Band A), freehold tenure, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband for working from home, and a central position in Wirksworth close to shops, cinema and walking routes. The compact layout and period features will appeal to buyers seeking a characterful, town-centre cottage with potential to personalise rather than those needing generous floor space.
