This attractive period limestone cottage sits within the Peak District National Park and offers an appealing low-maintenance home for buyers looking to downsize without losing character. The house delivers two double bedrooms, a bright open-plan living/dining room and a private, level cottage garden ideal for morning sun and easy upkeep. Resident parking (Zone B) and a short walk to town amenities and countryside add practical convenience.
The interior blends original features with practical updates: a country-style galley kitchen, contemporary bathroom and a conservatory that overlooks the rear garden. The front garden, limestone wall and picket gate create a charming approach, while compact, well-landscaped outdoor space provides room for potted plants and a seating area. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern living.
Buyers should note a few material points to verify: the property is stone-built before 1900 and walls are assumed to be uninsulated, which may affect heating efficiency and fabric upgrades. Records contain mixed heating information (particulars state a gas combi boiler and UPVC double glazing; other data lists electric storage heaters as main heating), so prospective purchasers are advised to confirm current services and systems. The plot is small and room sizes are modest, making this best suited to someone seeking compact, characterful accommodation rather than extensive outdoor space.
Overall this cottage will suit those wanting a picturesque, low-care home close to Bakewell’s amenities and Peak District walking, provided they accept the limitations of a historic stone property and complete their own checks on services and insulation.
