A charming stone-built cottage on Belper High Street, this three-bedroom freehold offers classic period character with practical modern comforts. Exposed beams, stone walls and a cosy wood-burning stove create an inviting living room, while the kitchen/diner and two bathrooms give everyday convenience for small households. The fully enclosed rear garden is landscaped and elevated, providing pleasant views across the Derwent Valley despite the compact plot.
This home will suit a downsizer or first-time buyer seeking character and low council costs (Band A). The property is small in overall footprint and retains original solid-brick walls (likely without cavity insulation), so buyers should expect higher heating needs versus modern builds. Double glazing is present but installation date is unknown; the boiler and radiators run on mains gas and appear to provide reliable heating.
Practical considerations: room sizes and ceiling heights are modest, and the property sits in a higher-crime local area, which may concern some buyers. The cottage is presented well and requires no immediate cosmetic works, but there is clear scope — and potential cost — to improve thermal performance and personalise interior fittings over time.
Viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout, period detailing and the elevated valley views from the rear garden. The location places daily amenities, transport links and several well-rated primary schools within easy reach, making the house a sensible, characterful option for buyers seeking a compact, low-tax home in Belper.
