Set amid the Peak District National Park, this Grade II Listed stone cottage offers genuine rural character and wide valley views. The property sits on a very large plot with ample off-street parking and lawned gardens to the side and rear — ideal for a substantial garden, patio or small landscaping project.
The cottage dates from the 1630s and retains exposed timbers, stone hearths and rustic charm but is sold needing internal finishing and renovation. It has been recently rewired and benefits from off-grid services: a new borehole water supply, lithium battery banks with inverter (generator/solar top-up possible) and a Biorock sewage system. No mains services are connected.
Buyers should note the listed status will create planning and alteration constraints and the access includes an unadopted track. Broadband is very slow and mobile signal is average. The property will be sold at public auction and is offered freehold; successful purchasers must be prepared for the auction deposit, buyer’s fee and a 28-day completion timetable.
This is a strong opportunity for a countryside restoration project, holiday let conversion subject to consents, or a private retreat for someone comfortable with renovation in a remote, environmentally self-sufficient location.
