Stone-built period cottage with recent high-spec refurbishment
This handsome stone cottage in Heage combines period character with a recent, high-spec refurbishment. The house offers two main reception rooms with log-burning stoves, a modern fitted dining kitchen with French doors to the rear, and two bedrooms plus a large attic third bedroom with Velux windows that looks over the village.
Practical running costs are favourable: mains gas central heating, double glazing throughout and a recently fitted Baxi combi boiler. Outside there is a tarmac driveway with off-street parking for two cars and a south-facing rear garden with an Indian stone terrace, artificial lawn and mature borders — low-maintenance and private.
The property will suit families or couples seeking a character home close to local amenities and good primary schooling, with easy road access to Belper, Ripley and the A38. Note the attic room has restricted eaves and sloping ceilings so headroom is limited; some rooms are modest in size consistent with a traditional cottage layout.
Although renovated throughout, the house is a period build (pre-1900) with stone walls and internal insulation; any buyer seeking further modernisation or major layout changes should allow for the usual considerations when altering older structures. Broadband speeds are average; mobile signal is excellent.
