Dating from 1666, this stone-built semi-detached cottage combines genuine period charm with generous outdoor space. Set in approximately three quarters of an acre, the mature cottage gardens and adjoining paddock deliver sweeping countryside views and plenty of room for gardening, hobbies or small-scale livestock.
Inside, the house offers two double bedrooms, three reception rooms including a conservatory, and a large breakfast kitchen – a flexible layout well suited to family life or countryside living. The property is double-glazed (installed after 2002) and heated by a mains-gas boiler with radiators, and it sits within the Peak District National Park with very low local crime and fast broadband.
Buyers should note a few practical points: the traditional sandstone/limestone walls are likely uninsulated, the house has a single bathroom, and there is a recorded medium flood risk for the area. The plot and older construction present scope for sympathetic upgrading or energy-efficiency improvements, but any work should respect the building’s fabric and location.
Overall this is a rare semi-rural home for those wanting an established hamlet setting, impressive views and substantial grounds. It will particularly suit buyers seeking outdoor space and character, and those prepared to invest modestly to improve insulation and modern convenience.
