Period cottages with holiday-let potential in the heart of the Peak District.
Three-bedroom stone house plus attached two-bedroom stone cottage, sold as one freehold
A rare village-centre pair: a three-bedroom stone cottage (Millbridge House) attached to a two-bedroom stone cottage (Millbridge Cottage). Together they total about 168.8 sqm (1,817 sqft) and sit in a charming flagged courtyard with stocked borders, a water feature and a stone garden room. The properties retain period character — stone hearths, beams and vaulted ceilings — while offering modern comforts such as gas central heating, underfloor heating in the cottage kitchen and a multi-fuel burner in the house.
The two properties are arranged and serviced separately, making the smaller cottage an immediate income opportunity for holiday let or Airbnb (boiler new 2021; gas and electrical certificates in place). The house has a modern re-fitted kitchen, a four-piece family bathroom and useful loft/upper-floor rooms that work well for family living and home working. The garden room with power and lighting adds flexible space for guests, office use or storage.
Notable practical points: the stone walls are likely uninsulated (as-built), the broadband is slow and the site sits in a medium flood-risk zone — all important for long-term running costs and holiday-let marketing. Parking is not guaranteed on the plot (only potential space) and council tax is above average. These cottages suit a buyer who values location and character — and is comfortable managing two self-contained units, or who wants to run one as a holiday let while living in the other.
Set in the Peak District village of Castleton, the pair benefits from outstanding local scenery (views to Mam Tor and Peveril Castle), local amenities and good school catchments. For investors, families seeking a home with letting income, or buyers seeking a lifestyle property with flexible accommodation, this is a distinctive, characterful opportunity; budget for insulation, connectivity improvements and possible parking works.
