Wilson Eyre Cottage is a thoughtfully refurbished two-bedroom stone cottage in the centre of Castleton, within the Peak District National Park. Renovated in 2023, the cottage combines traditional character with modern fittings — a contemporary kitchen, updated heating system (certificates available) and a modern shower room — making it a low-maintenance home or second residence for those wanting immediate move-in comfort.
The house is arranged with two generous double bedrooms on the ground floor, a separate large utility that opens to the rear garden, and an open-plan living and kitchen area upstairs with an inglenook-style fireplace and rear terrace with elevated views. The large enclosed rear garden and sun terrace with glass balustrade are standout outdoor spaces for relaxing or entertaining, despite the overall plot being modest in size.
Practical details are clear: freehold tenure, EPC rating D and Council Tax Band D. The property performs well for location-based lifestyle benefits — excellent mobile signal, average broadband, low local crime and direct access to walking routes, cafés and village amenities. It has potential as a holiday let or investment: historical rental income guidance is noted at around £30,000 pa, and there is an option to purchase fully furnished.
Considerations to note: the EPC of D may mean higher running costs than newer-build equivalents, and rooms are described as small-to-medium with standard ceiling heights typical of period cottages. The plot is described as small despite generous rear garden landscaping. Buyers seeking large-scale expansion or modern open-plan proportions should factor in those limits. Interested parties should verify tenure and all particulars with their solicitor.
