Pennyford Cottage is an 18th-century stone cottage that has been sympathetically upgraded to keep its historic charm while improving energy performance. Recent works include a new roof (2021), timber window frames with stone surrounds (2018), a refitted bathroom (2021) and an air-source heat pump installed in 2025 — reflected in an EPC rating of C. The kitchen uses reclaimed timbers and the owners have revealed original stonework in the fireplaces, preserving character throughout.
The layout is compact and efficient: kitchen, utility and bathroom on the ground floor, with two bedrooms above. Room sizes are modest (total internal area c. 614 sq ft); bedroom one is generous and light, but bedroom two and some rooms have lower ceilings. The plot and garden are small and courtyard-style. Parking is available on the adjacent former pinfold rather than a private driveway.
Set in the centre of Brassington, the cottage sits opposite the church and close to the village primary school, two pubs and the High Peak Trail. Practical benefits include fast broadband and predominantly electric heating supported by the new heat pump. Notable drawbacks to consider are limited internal space, low ceilings in parts of the house, a lack of mobile signal in the village and external stone walls that are likely uninsulated, which may affect long-term thermal performance despite recent improvements.
