Set in the heart of Alstonefield within the Peak District National Park, The Hermitage is a beautifully restored Grade II cottage that blends historic character with high-quality fixtures. Recent craftsman renovation has retained exposed oak beams, flagstone floors with electric underfloor heating on the ground floor, and bespoke oak joinery while adding modern comforts including fitted kitchen appliances and two contemporary bathrooms. The property previously operated successfully as a holiday let and offers ready-made rental potential or a comfortable family home.
The layout suits flexible living: a spacious character living room with a stone fireplace leads to a large dining kitchen, three double bedrooms across three storeys, two en suite bathrooms and a vaulted master suite on the top floor. A useful vaulted cellar provides powered storage and houses the heating and hot water equipment. Outside, a walled courtyard, small lawned garden and renovated stone outbuilding with power create private outdoor space and attractive Peak views.
Buyers should note material constraints alongside the many strengths. The house is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance and planning. There is no mains gas—heating is electric (underfloor at ground floor; panel radiators above)—and broadband speeds are reported slow. Parking is on-street only, though additional village parking is available a short walk away. All contents are negotiable on sale, which could suit buyers wanting a furnished purchase.
Overall this cottage appeals to buyers seeking a high-quality, character home in a picturesque rural village or investors wanting a proven holiday-let location. Expect some listed-building responsibilities and higher running costs for electric heating, but enjoy immediate move-in condition and exceptional village and Peak District access.
