This attractive three-bedroom stone cottage has been fully modernised and offers exceptional elevated views across the Peak District. The house is compact (approximately 636 sq ft) but carefully arranged, with a fitted dining kitchen, a sitting room with a Clearview stove, and well-presented bedrooms that take advantage of the outlook. Outside, terraced, well-maintained gardens climb the hillside to a large stone patio and lawn, creating a private, south-facing spot to enjoy the panorama.
The renovation has delivered a high-spec interior and contemporary bathroom, making the property ready to move into. The village-centre location is handy for local pubs, footpaths and community amenities, and excellent primary and secondary schools are within easy reach. The setting is especially appealing to buyers who value outdoor access, attractive countryside and proximity to walking routes such as Stanton Moor and the Limestone Way.
Buyers should note a few practical points: the cottage is mid-terrace and relatively small in overall size; heating is by electric storage heaters and the walls are likely traditional stone without added cavity insulation, which contributes to the EPC D rating. There is a single main bathroom and a separate first-floor WC. Prospective purchasers who are energy-conscious may wish to budget for heating running costs or any future insulation improvements.
Overall, Rock Cottage suits a buyer seeking a characterful, low-maintenance village home with outstanding rural views and ready-to-enjoy interiors. It offers immediate appeal for families or those downsizing who prioritise setting and outdoor space, while also presenting modest potential to improve energy performance over time.
