A superbly presented stone-built cottage in the heart of Wensley, combining period character with sensible modern upgrades. Two double bedrooms, an en-suite and a family shower room suit couples, downsizers or small families seeking village life close to Matlock and Bakewell. The living room’s exposed beam and stone fireplace create a warm, characterful focal point while the dining kitchen houses practical appliances and a gas boiler serving radiators throughout.
A notable asset is the two-storey outbuilding/annex with kitchenette, shower room and upper room — versatile as a home office, hobby space or occasional guest bedroom, adding lifestyle flexibility and potential rental/holiday use. Gardens to the front and an enclosed rear courtyard take advantage of pleasant countryside views on the edge of the Peak District National Park.
Practical points to note: the cottage sits on a small plot and was built before 1900 with original granite walls (no assumed insulation), so energy performance will reflect solid-wall construction. Broadband speeds are reported as slow and mobile signal average; buyers who work extensively online should check coverage. Overall this is a characterful, low-crime village home offered freehold with affordable council tax banding and immediate access to local amenities and good schools nearby.
