This three-storey Georgian cottage in Darley Abbey offers characterful living in a highly sought-after conservation area. The home retains period features such as exposed beams, sash windows and a fireplace, and benefits from a full rewire and a new boiler installed in 2021. Its compact footprint and layout suit first-time buyers or investors aiming to add value through cosmetic refurbishment.
The property has an open-plan living/dining kitchen, two double bedrooms across the upper floors and a shower room. A brick outbuilding and a rear garden (access via neighbouring land) provide useful external storage and outside space, though the outbuilding is located across the road. On-street parking and immediate proximity to Darley Park, the River Derwent and local cafés add strong lifestyle appeal.
Important practical points: the house requires modernisation to bring finishes and services up to contemporary standards. The footprint is small (approximately 483 sq ft), and there is a medium flood risk for the area. Garden access is indirect which could restrict use or improvements. These factors affect running and renovation costs and should be considered alongside the location benefits.
For buyers seeking a characterful starter home or a buy-to-let with scope to improve, this cottage presents clear potential. Renovation and reconfiguration could increase living comfort and rental/value yield, while the conservation area setting and riverside location maintain long-term desirability.
