Move-in ready in Wirksworth’s historic centre; ideal for buyers or investors.
End-terrace Victorian cottage in conservation area
Nestled in Wirksworth’s historic Greenhill and The Dale Conservation Area, this end-terrace cottage combines period charm with a comprehensive recent renovation. The living room centres on a stone fireplace and log-burning stove, while the double bedroom and stylish shower room reflect quality finishes throughout. The home is chain-free, move-in ready and has operated successfully as a holiday let, making it suitable for a permanent residence or rental use.
The refurbishment included a full rewire, complete replumbing, new boiler, replastering and conservation-quality hardwood double-glazed sash windows with a transferable guarantee. Interior upgrades feature oak and painted floorboards, bespoke bathroom fittings, terracotta kitchen tiles with electric underfloor heating and tasteful décor, so most major works have been addressed.
Practicalities are straightforward: mains gas central heating, on-street parking nearby, very low local crime and Council Tax Band A. There is no private garden; the property has access to a secure external store (former WC) and drying rights, while the neighbouring rear yard is not included. Broadband speeds are average and the stone-built walls are likely uninsulated internally, which could affect longer-term energy efficiency despite the glazing and new boiler.
This compact cottage will suit a first-time buyer, downsizer or investor seeking a low-maintenance town-centre property with strong holiday let potential. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the characterful period details balanced with modern conveniences, but buyers should note the limited floor area and lack of dedicated outdoor space.
