Summary - PARKVIEW THE MIRES BIRCHOVER MATLOCK DE4 2BQ
4 bed 1 bath Cottage
Large plot with scope for extension and wide countryside views.
Victorian stone semi with abundant original features
This Victorian stone semi-detached cottage sits in sought-after Birchover within the Peak District National Park, offering genuine rural character and open views to front and rear. Set on a very large plot approaching 0.5 acre, the house provides scope for side extension or garden development (subject to planning). Original features such as stone fireplaces, quarry-tiled kitchen floor and exposed stonework remain throughout, giving an authentic period feel.
Internally the home is arranged over three floors: a cosy sitting room with multi-fuel stove, a dining kitchen with pantry, a garden room, three bedrooms and a shower room on the first floor, plus a spacious principal bedroom with ensuite WC on the second floor. Oil-fired boiler and radiators provide heating; double glazing is fitted. The plot includes parking for several cars, two stone outbuildings and an upper lawned area backing onto open fields.
Practical points to note: the property dates from c.1900–1929 and the stone walls are assumed uninsulated, so thermal upgrading may be required. Heating runs on private oil (not a community supply) and there is a single main shower room, which may be limiting for some households. Planning permission would be needed for any extension; the layout does, however, present clear potential for expansion and modernisation.
For families, the home falls within the catchment of Lady Manners School and local primary provision, while commuters benefit from good mobile signal. The location offers village amenities, country pubs and direct access to countryside walks, making the house appealing to buyers seeking a characterful rural home with development upside.
