Summary - 8 BROOKFIELD COTTAGES ACRESFORD SWADLINCOTE DE12 8AW
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Picturesque two-bedroom home with versatile attic room near countryside walks.
Character features: exposed beams and brick fireplace with log-burning stove
Tucked in the hamlet of Acresford, this late‑Victorian mid‑terrace cottage blends period charm with practical, versatile space across three floors. Exposed beams, a brick fireplace with a log-burning stove and character details create a cosy, village retreat within easy reach of countryside walks and the Cricket Arms pub.
The ground floor offers a breakfast kitchen that easily takes a table, plus a sitting room with the fireplace as a focal point. Upstairs there are two bedrooms and a family bathroom, with a full-depth attic room above — a flexible space suited to home office, guest room or hobby area, with vaulted ceiling and skylights.
Outside is a small foregarden, driveway parking and a rear patio garden; the plot is modest but low-maintenance. Practical points include electric central heating, double glazing and freehold tenure, plus very low council tax (Band A).
Important considerations: the cottage has solid brick walls likely without modern cavity insulation, an EPC rating of E and relies on electric heating (no mains gas). It adjoins Acresford Methodist Church, shares a rear right of way with neighbouring cottages and sits in an ex‑coal‑mining area — buyers should satisfy themselves on structural and insurance matters.
Overall this is an appealing character cottage for buyers seeking village life with good road links, or buyers prepared to carry modest energy‑efficiency improvements to enhance comfort and running costs.
