This Grade II stone cottage brings genuine period character to a sought-after conservation area between Duffield and Milford. The living room centres on a stone fireplace and the property retains sash-style windows, exposed stonework and beams that appeal to buyers wanting an authentic, cosy home. A tiered rear garden with stone walling offers attractive outlooks across Milford.
The layout is compact: a double bedroom, separate dressing/study room and ground-floor kitchen with an adjoining utility. Gas central heating, a fitted kitchen with built-in hob and oven, and a usable bathroom with shower make the cottage ready to occupy. For investors, the current rental estimate of about £695pcm indicates steady income potential in this affluent area.
Buyers should note the material constraints: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict changes and can complicate repairs or upgrades. Walls are stone with no assumed insulation and glazing is internal secondary—thermal performance and running costs may be higher than modern homes. Broadband speeds are reported slow, which could affect home-working.
Overall this is a characterful, small-footprint freehold cottage well suited to a first-time buyer seeking charm or an investor after a lettable property. Expect modest living space and some conservation-led maintenance and upgrade limitations.
