Summary - 2 THE COTTAGES KING STERNDALE BUXTON SK17 9SF
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Quintessential two-bed stone cottage with gardens and garage in the Peak District.
Grade II listed 17th-century stone cottage with period features
A 17th-century Grade II listed stone cottage in the peaceful hamlet of King Sterndale, set within the Peak District National Park. The house offers genuine period charm — exposed beams, stone mullioned windows (uPVC sealed units), character fireplaces and mature front and rear gardens that back onto open fields.
Ideal for someone downsizing or seeking a rural weekend retreat, the cottage is compact (approximately 384 sq ft) and practical: two bedrooms, a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, and a double garage. Fast broadband and low local crime support comfortable modern living despite the rural location.
Buyers should note this property’s material constraints. Listed status will restrict alterations and maintenance can be specialist and costly. The house has electric storage heating (and an oil boiler is present in the landing cupboard), stone walls likely without modern insulation, and generally low ceilings — all contributing to potentially higher running costs and insulating challenges.
View this cottage if you value authentic period character, private gardens and countryside setting over open-plan space. It suits a buyer prepared for listed-building ownership and modest internal space rather than someone seeking a large, low-maintenance modern home.
