Summary - 73 RAVENSDALE COTTAGES CRESSBROOK BUXTON SK17 8SX
1 bed 1 bath Cottage
Charming, compact cottage near Monsal Trail for countryside living or letting.
Grade II listed cottage dating from 1823 — listing will restrict alterations
Compact 1-bedroom layout, approximately 401 ft², cosy but limited space
Peaceful Peak District village location with direct access to trails
Small enclosed rear garden and stone storage shed
Resident off-street parking area immediately in front
Heating via wood logs and room heaters — consider upgrade costs
No mobile signal and very slow broadband — poor connectivity
Medium flood risk; stone walls likely uninsulated, maintenance needed
Set beneath steep wooded slopes in the Peak District, this Grade II listed one‑bedroom cottage is a compact, characterful home ideal for a single occupant, couple, or holiday let. The stone-built terraces, exposed beams and a working log-burning stove give genuine period charm and a cosy living space. The small enclosed rear garden and stone storage shed provide a quiet outdoor seat and useful storage.
The layout is modest: ground-floor living room and kitchen, first-floor double bedroom and bathroom. At about 401 ft², rooms are compact but well proportioned; low ceilings and narrow landing reflect the building’s age. Off-street resident parking and a peaceful village setting close to Monsal Trail make this a convenient rural base for walking and cycling.
Buyers should note the property’s Grade II listing will limit alterations and could complicate refurbishment or extension. Heating relies on room heaters and wood logs, and there is no mobile signal with very slow broadband — factors to consider if you need reliable connectivity. There is a medium flood risk and the cottage’s stone walls appear uninsulated, so expect running-cost and maintenance considerations.
Freehold and offered with no upward chain, this is an attractive purchase for someone seeking an authentic Peak District cottage who accepts small-scale living and listed‑building constraints. Its location, character and proximity to outdoor pursuits give clear lifestyle appeal; practical buyers will budget for listed‑status maintenance, improved heating solutions, and connectivity upgrades where required.
