Summary - THE RECTORY, COLDWELL STREET DE4 4FB
8 bed 2 bath Detached
Nearly 6,000 sq ft across three storeys and cellar
This three‑storey former rectory offers nearly 6,000 sq ft of grand period accommodation, set on a generous south‑facing plot with sweeping driveway parking for 8+ cars. Original Georgian features — full‑height timber sash windows, high ceilings, flagstone floors, marble fireplaces and a galleried central landing — give the house substantial character and presence in the heart of Wirksworth.
The property includes a detached two‑storey stable block and a two‑storey annexe, both offering clear scope for conversion (subject to planning) to provide holiday‑let units, ancillary family space or income generation. The substantial front lawn and elevated views across the adjacent churchyard create an appealing, private setting within a five‑minute walk of local shops, schools, cinema and rail links.
Material considerations are straightforward and must be faced: the house is Grade II listed and will therefore impose constraints and additional costs on alterations; it is described as needing renovation. The current layout provides eight bedrooms but only two bathrooms, so updating services and reconfiguring sanitary provision will be a likely requirement. Council tax is noted as quite expensive.
For buyers seeking a high‑profile town centre residence with strong conversion potential, this rectory represents a rare opportunity to create a dramatic family home or a mixed‑use asset. Those looking for a turnkey property should note the refurbishment needs and listed‑building obligations before proceeding.
