Set within an attractive stone courtyard, this two-bedroom mews cottage combines traditional character with compact, easily managed living. A spacious rustic sitting room centers on a substantial stone fireplace and wood-burning stove, creating a warm focal point for daily life. Outside, a flagged patio overlooks the shared courtyard and two allocated parking spaces are provided close by.
The accommodation includes two double bedrooms (one with ensuite) and a separate bathroom, making the layout practical for a first-time buyer or single occupant. The kitchen is fitted but compact, and there is clear potential to refresh or reconfigure finishes to suit modern tastes. The plot is small and low-maintenance, so external upkeep is minimal.
Important practical points: heating is by electric storage heaters and drainage is to a shared, managed septic tank. The property will need some updating and the Energy Performance rating is to be confirmed. The freehold tenure allows full ownership, but the cottage may not be used for commercial purposes such as holiday letting.
Located in a quiet rural hamlet, the cottage offers easy access to the Derbyshire Dales, Carsington Water and the High Peak Trail. Wirksworth’s shops and services are around 2 miles away, with Matlock, Ashbourne and Bakewell within reasonable driving distance — suitable for commuters who appreciate countryside living.
