This double-fronted Grade II cottage sits in the heart of Darley Abbey village, combining genuine period character with practical modern comforts. Exposed beams, leaded windows and a cosy lounge with a log burner create an inviting, characterful living space. The fitted kitchen flows into a dining area, and a well-appointed four-piece bathroom serves the two first-floor bedrooms. The property is presented well and sold chain-free.
Outside is a notable asset: a south-facing garden with patio, greenhouse and a decent plot for outdoor living. Off-street parking is provided by a driveway with an electric car charger and a detached garage — a rare convenience for a village cottage. Broadband is fast and local schools and Darley Park are within easy walking distance.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed so alterations will be restricted and require consent, and the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated which could affect running costs and comfort unless improved sensitively. There is a medium flood risk for the area; buyers should seek specialist advice and insurance quotes. Overall the cottage will suit buyers who value heritage character, outdoor space and village location but accept limitations on major remodelling.
