Set on the south‑eastern edge of Wirksworth, this stone-built three-bedroom cottage pairs authentic period character with well-planned modern updates. The house sits on a larger-than-typical plot for the area, with mature, lovingly tended gardens, multiple seating zones and a powered summer house that works well as a garden office. Panoramic views over Wirksworth and immediate access to countryside walks make it appealing for buyers seeking a peaceful town-fringe home.
Inside, the layout is practical: sitting room with open fire, generous rear dining room with log burner, and a quality kitchen fitted in 2015 with underfloor heating. New aluminium double-glazed doors increase light and connectivity to the garden. The first floor offers two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a well-appointed bathroom with standalone bath and separate shower — suitable for a small family or those wanting a character cottage with comfortable, ready-to-live-in accommodation.
Buyers should note the property’s modest overall footprint (c.1001 sq ft) and single family bathroom, which may limit larger families. There is a minor legal detail: a neighbouring right of way provides an additional garden entrance. The house appears well maintained but offers scope for modest upgrading or reconfiguration if a larger modern layout is required.
This cottage will suit purchasers who prioritise garden space, outlook and village-edge living over large contemporary floorplans. With good local schools, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, it also makes a practical home for part- or full-time home workers attracted by the powered summer house and calm setting.
