Set within a handsome Georgian stone conversion, this second-floor two-bedroom apartment combines period character with contemporary living. The large open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge benefits from high ceilings and a skylight-lit modern kitchen, creating a bright, sociable space ideal for downsizers seeking low-maintenance comfort with historic charm.
Practical strengths include two off-street parking spaces, communal garden access, and a freehold title — uncommon for flats. Broadband and mobile signals are excellent, and the hamlet setting offers very low crime and access to well-rated local primary and secondary schools, useful for visiting family.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the property sits in a high flood-risk area, and the building dates from the 1800s so ongoing maintenance needs and older fabric should be expected. There is a single shower room for two double bedrooms, and an annual service charge of approximately £1,488.
Overall, this apartment will suit someone looking to downsize or relocate to a peaceful Derbyshire village while retaining generous living space, character features and convenient parking. It offers a rare freehold conversion with scope for light updating where desired.
