Summary - 1 SHAW LANE COTTAGE PARWICH ASHBOURNE DE6 1QJ
2 bed 1 bath Character Property
Heart of Parwich with large enclosed garden and Peak District access.
Grade II Listed stone cottage dating to 1570, strong historic character
Set in the heart of picture-book Parwich, this Grade II Listed cottage dates from 1570 and retains authentic character: exposed beams, stone walls, muntin windows and a wood-burning stove. The home sits overlooking the village church with countryside views and a surprisingly generous, enclosed garden with drystone walls, paved courtyard and a stone outbuilding. The Peak District trails are a short drive away, making this an appealing rural retreat or holiday let.
The house offers two double bedrooms and a traditional layout across approximately 694 sq ft. Interiors combine original features with a fitted country-style kitchen, a dining room that opens onto the courtyard, and a bathroom with roll-top bath and wet-room style shower. Practical benefits include freehold tenure, excellent mobile signal and a large plot with private outdoor space for gardening or entertaining.
Important considerations: the property is Grade II Listed, which restricts alterations and can complicate repairs or extensions. The cottage carries a high flood risk which will affect insurance and may require mitigation. Age and construction of the building suggest ongoing maintenance needs typical of period stone cottages. Broadband speeds are average and the location is a remoter rural community, so services and commuting require planning.
Parwich is regularly praised for its quality of life and local amenities are close by: a good primary school in the village, nearby secondary provision, local shops and community facilities. For buyers seeking a character-filled country home, a weekend escape close to the Peaks, or a holiday-let opportunity, this cottage offers rare provenance and setting — provided you accept the constraints of listed status and the flood risk.
