Occupying a prime town‑centre position in Wirksworth, Ashcombe House is a substantial Grade II listed Georgian residence offering flexible family accommodation across three floors. The house retains abundant original features — high ceilings, sash and mullion windows, fireplaces and Georgian cornicing — creating generous, characterful rooms ideal for family living, home working and multi‑generational use.
Externally the property is notable for its very large, two‑tiered landscaped garden with fruit trees, vegetable beds, a veranda, paved entertaining areas and a historic brick‑lined ice house. A gated front patio and a driveway with off‑street parking add privacy and convenience in a town‑centre setting. The main roof was renewed in 2015.
Practical points to note: the home is Grade II listed, which protects historic fabric but will restrict alterations and could complicate some modernisation works. Heating is provided by gas central heating on the ground floor with a Baxi combi boiler in the utility; purchasers should confirm the full heating distribution and running costs. The property falls in Council Tax Band F (£3,369 pa), and while well maintained, older fixtures and listed elements may require sensitive upkeep.
Offered freehold and with no upward chain, this is a rare opportunity to buy a large, characterful family house in an affluent market‑town location. The layout and size suit families seeking generous reception space, those wanting separate work/studio rooms, or buyers wanting a period home with significant garden and historic interest.
