Charming period home with secret garden and exceptional countryside views.
- Grade II listed cottage dating from 1790 (listing restricts alterations)
This Grade II listed three-storey cottage blends 18th-century character with practical modern touches. Bay windows, stone mullions, exposed beams, quarry-tiled floors and a working log burner give strong period charm throughout the living space.
Outdoor space is a rare asset: a sheltered courtyard, stone outbuilding and an elevated ‘secret’ garden reached via woodland steps deliver privacy and far-reaching views from the raised decking. There is a private off-road parking space immediately outside, convenient for village living.
The layout suits a small family or couple who value character and countryside access. The dining kitchen seats 4–6 and opens onto the courtyard; the top-floor vaulted bedroom enjoys spectacular views across the High Peak Trail. Local trails, shops and the heritage Mill complex are all within easy reach.
Buyers should note material constraints: listed status will restrict exterior and some internal alterations, and the cottage has one family bathroom only. The overall plot is modest and the secret garden is accessed by steps through woodland, so landscaping will need ongoing maintenance. The home’s age and features mean maintenance and sympathetic repairs are likely to be required over time.
