This substantial three-storey stone end-terrace in Cromford is a genuine renovation opportunity for buyers prepared to undertake a full refurbishment. The house retains period character, stone walls and slate roof, with three bedrooms spread over three floors and a compact enclosed courtyard to the side.
The whole property requires extensive updating: internal floors and some rooms are unsafe, the bathroom was inaccessible at inspection, and signs of damp and dated services are present. Viewings are strictly cautious — CARE MUST BE TAKEN WHEN VIEWING — and the property is best suited to an experienced renovator, developer or buyer willing to manage a large project.
A notable asset is the two-storey outbuilding accessed from the courtyard, offering scope for workshop, studio or ancillary accommodation subject to consents. The house sits in a popular village location close to shops, pubs, the mill pond and the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site, with good links to Matlock, Wirksworth and the Peak District.
Practical positives include mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing, freehold tenure and a reasonable EPC potential (77 C) once improved. Material negatives — unsafe floor, need for full renovation, medium flood risk in the area and parking limited to on-street — should be factored into budgets and plans.
