This attractive three-bedroom, semi‑detached stone cottage sits in a sought-after Darley Dale location just outside the Peak District boundary. The house retains period character — inglenook fireplace, sash-style windows and stone lintels — while offering practical upgrades such as triple glazing, gas central heating and a positive ventilation system. Countryside views from the rear bedrooms and a generous front lawn create a tranquil, village-edge feel.
The accommodation is laid out across three floors: living room, dining room with inglenook and pantry, and kitchen on the ground floor; two double bedrooms and a modern four-piece bathroom on the first floor; and a third bedroom, shower room and large eaves storage on the top floor. Two off‑street parking spaces above the rear patio and a powered summer house add convenience and flexible outdoor use.
Strengths include ready-to-live-in presentation, two bathrooms and useful storage, making the house suitable for first-time buyers, small families or buy-to-let investors. Practical considerations are an EPC rating of D, no confirmed wall insulation (stone walls assumed uninsulated), and notably slow broadband speeds — factors to weigh if energy efficiency or fast home working are priorities.
Overall this cottage offers period charm and countryside outlooks with sensible modern comforts. It will particularly appeal to buyers seeking village living with good road links to Matlock and Bakewell, or investors looking for a well-presented rental in a popular rural location.
