Set on a large private plot in the heart of Duffield Village, this beautifully presented three-bedroom stone cottage combines period character with practical family living. Vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and a cosy wood-burning stove create warm, inviting living spaces, while a generous dining room and modern kitchen provide room for daily family life and entertaining.
The property sits within the Ecclesbourne School catchment, an important draw for families, and benefits from a private lawned garden with a useful home office pod — ideal for remote working or a hobby room. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working and streaming.
Constructed before 1900 of traditional stone, the cottage has double glazing and mains gas central heating, but the original stone walls are likely uninsulated. The current energy rating is moderate (EPC 56) with potential to improve to around 85. As with many older cottages, ongoing maintenance and sympathetic upgrades (insulation, secondary heating improvements) will enhance comfort and efficiency.
Practical points to note: there is a single bathroom/wet room serving three bedrooms, council tax band D, average local crime levels, and no chain involved which can help a quicker move. A viewing is recommended to appreciate the character features and village location within walking distance of amenities and recreational facilities.
