Spacious, character-filled town house with retail potential and commanding town views.
Grade II Listed — historic status will require listed-building consent for alterations
Set in the heart of Wirksworth, this substantial Grade II listed town house combines grand period features with flexible living over three floors. The property offers a spectacular sitting room, a library, snug and large dining-kitchen, plus a retail unit on the ground floor that will be vacant on completion — an opportunity for owner-occupation or rental income.
The house is arranged to allow 3, 4 or 5 bedroom configurations, with two sizeable bathrooms and extensive loft/attic storage. South-facing kitchen light, high ceilings, original fireplaces and wide windows deliver excellent natural light and far-reaching town and countryside views. A sheltered courtyard garden provides a low-maintenance outdoor space right off the kitchen.
Important practical notes: the property’s Grade II listing means repairs, alterations and modernisation will be subject to listed-building consent and may incur additional cost and delay. The house sits on a small town plot with modest courtyard garden and has only two full bathrooms for up to five bedrooms. The retail unit at ground floor is currently vacant and has commercial fittings from previous use.
This is a characterful, spacious home suited to a family who value town-centre living and countryside access, or an investor seeking mixed-use potential. Expect maintenance and consent obligations typical of historic listed properties, and plan for modest external space and modernisation to suit contemporary family needs.
