Set on the edge of Cromford’s historic mill pond, this beautifully presented three-bedroom home blends period character with contemporary comforts. The house is freshly redecorated with new carpets, a handmade kitchen with integrated appliances and a modern shower room with underfloor heating. Panoramic views up to Black Rocks are a standout feature from several rooms and garden seating areas.
The versatile lower-ground reception rooms (lounge, snug, hobby/study) provide flexible living and potential to form a separate suite if required. Off-street parking for two to three cars is a rare local advantage, with gated access down to the professionally designed pondside gardens and a large veranda for dining and entertaining.
Important practical points: the property is in a high flood-risk location and sits on a relatively small plot, which affects external space and insurance/mitigation considerations. There is a single modern shower room only, so households requiring more bathrooms should factor that in. Overall the house is freehold, largely renovated and move-in ready, ideal for a family seeking heritage village life or buyers wanting an attractive holiday-let opportunity in a UNESCO village.
