This extended stone cottage sits between Holbrook and Belper and offers a blend of period character with contemporary living. The open-plan kitchen/dining room, fitted with integrated appliances and underfloor heating, creates a social hub that flows to a south-facing front garden and uninterrupted countryside views. A separate lounge, downstairs cloakroom and three bedrooms upstairs provide comfortable family accommodation over mid-terrace floors.
Practical advantages include UPVC sash-style double glazing, mains gas central heating and a fully tanked lower‑ground room currently used as a study/cinema. The boarded roof space has power, lighting and a sealed unit window, presenting clear potential for a loft conversion subject to planning permission. The property is sold freehold and chain free, with easy access to Belper, Derby, the A38 and M1 for commuters.
Buyers should note the plot is modest and parking is primarily on-street, though off-street parking potential exists. The cottage’s solid stone walls were built pre-1900 and are assumed to lack modern cavity insulation; purchasers may wish to budget for wall insulation works. Some external repairs to the roof are visible and should be inspected.
Overall this is a stylish, practical village home suited to families or commuters seeking rural outlooks with ready-to-use living space and clear scope to add value via a loft conversion or targeted external improvements.
