Set on the edge of Ashford in the Water within the Peak District National Park, Mill Cottage is a substantial five-bedroom family home that combines traditional stone character with generous contemporary living space. The open-plan dining kitchen with Aga and arched double doors provides a natural hub for family life and entertaining, while separate reception rooms and a formal dining hall give flexibility for everyday use and guests.
The principal suite is a peaceful retreat with dual-aspect windows, a feature fireplace and an en suite with a freestanding bath; four further double bedrooms and three additional bathrooms provide comfortable accommodation for a large family or visiting guests. A double garage and extensive off-road parking meet the practical needs of multiple vehicles and outdoor pursuits.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: the house dates from c.1967–75 and the stone walls are assumed uninsulated, which may affect energy performance and running costs despite underfloor heating and a gas boiler. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow and council tax is described as quite expensive. There is a medium flood risk for the area — this should be checked in detail before purchase.
For families seeking village-living in a highly desirable rural setting, Mill Cottage offers scale, character and versatility. The property sits within a peaceful estate close to Bakewell and Chatsworth, with excellent mobile signal, good local schools and easy access to outdoor recreation — a rare, sizeable home in a scenic Peak District location.
