Summary - 24 GOLDEN VALLEY RIDDINGS ALFRETON DE55 4ES
3 bed 2 bath Cottage
Characterful three-bedroom home with large garden and village calm.
Grade II* listed — restrictions and potential repair complications
This Grade II* stone cottage sits quietly in Golden Valley, offering traditional character across three double bedrooms and two reception rooms. Original features — exposed beams, parquet floors and period fireplaces — give the home a warm, historic feel while the L-shaped kitchen with vaulted ceiling and 1930s refurbished AGA provides rustic practicality. The plot is generous, with a lawned main garden, courtyard and off-street parking for one vehicle.
Practicalities: the property has combi gas central heating and an airing cupboard housing the boiler, but many windows are single glazed and the Energy Performance Certificate is currently awaited. The listed status protects character but will restrict alterations and may complicate repairs and maintenance.
Location suits village living and families: good local schools nearby, average crime levels, and pleasant canal-side backing. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal only average — important for those who work from home. There is a medium flood risk to note; prospective buyers should carry out their own enquiries and insurance checks.
Overall this is a character-rich, well-proportioned cottage for buyers who value period detail and outdoor space. It will suit those prepared to manage listed-building constraints and make modest upgrades (double glazing and broadband solutions) to modernise comfort and efficiency.
