Riverside views and tranquil setting by the river
A charming two-bedroom mid-terrace cottage in Ambergate, offered freehold and with no onward chain, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking character and countryside access. The ground-floor lounge retains original quarry tiles and a handsome exposed brick fireplace, creating immediate period appeal. The kitchen and bathroom have been modernised, allowing for straightforward move-in comfort.
The cottage sits right by the river, offering truly scenic waterside views and a peaceful setting close to the Peak District. Two comfortable bedrooms plus a loft space give useful flexibility; the loft could be developed for extra living space subject to planning and building regulations. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the property faces a medium flood risk and is constructed of solid brick with assumed lack of wall insulation, so heating costs and flood resilience measures should be reviewed. Double glazing appears to have been installed pre-2002; further upgrading may be desirable. Mid-terrace siting means limited side exposure and outdoor space is modest though the plot is described as decent.
Overall, this cottage balances period character and modern amenities with clear potential for improvement. It will suit buyers who value riverside living and village community life, who are prepared to assess and invest in flood mitigation and thermal upgrades to maximise comfort and long-term value.
