A newly renovated two-bedroom character cottage in Belper’s conservation area, this home pairs period charm with modern services. The interior has been sympathetically updated with new gas central heating (Ideal combi boiler), full electrical rewire, damp proofing and insulation — ready to move into without major works. The fitted kitchen includes integrated appliances and useful pantry storage; the bathroom has underfloor heating and a thermostatic rainfall shower.
The cottage is compact and cosy: rooms are well presented but modest in size, suited to a couple, single person or downsizer seeking low-maintenance living. The property is attached back-to-back and sits on a small plot with a walled foregarden. On-street parking is controlled, with a nearby public car park offering complimentary overnight parking and low-cost residents’ permits.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: the property is in a conservation area and dates from c.1900–1929, with solid brick walls and assumed lack of original cavity insulation. The neighbourhood records higher-than-average crime; purchasers should consider security measures. Council tax is very low and the freehold tenure simplifies ownership.
Location is a strong selling point — central Belper, short walk to the busy railway station, shops, schools and leisure facilities. The town’s historic mills, pleasant countryside and direct road links to Derby, Nottingham and the Peak District make this a convenient, characterful base with good broadband and mobile signal.
