Set within the hamlet of Sparrowpit in the Peak District National Park, this double-fronted stone cottage dates from the early 1800s and retains original character throughout. The ground floor offers a cosy living room and separate dining room, both with log burners, a fitted kitchen area and a handy ground-floor WC. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a modern fitted bathroom — practical accommodation for a small family or countryside retreat.
Outside, the property benefits from an enclosed front garden, enclosed block-paved rear garden and off-street parking for one vehicle. Four brick stores provide useful external storage for garden equipment or outdoor hobbies. The plot is modest in size, which means lower garden maintenance and a more manageable outdoor space.
Practical points to note: heating is by electric room heaters and the walls are traditional sandstone/limestone with assumed no cavity insulation, so upgrading insulation and heating would improve comfort and running costs. Windows are double glazed but installation date is unknown. The cottage is freehold, in Council Tax Band C, with no reported flood risk and excellent mobile signal — useful for working from home or staying connected in a rural location.
This home will appeal to buyers seeking character and location: a genuine period cottage in a quiet hamlet with Peak District access. It suits a family, second-home buyer or someone looking to refresh services and insulation to personalise the property and reduce future running costs.
