3 bedroom terraced house for sale

Packed with character features, this well-presented, extended three storey home has off-road parking, a secret garden with magnificent views from the elevated decking and a smaller courtyard garden. Located on the hugely popular Cromford Hill in this UNESCO World Heritage village, this home dates back to the 18th Century and has been carefully maintained over many years.

On the ground floor is a spacious sitting room and a dining kitchen, with double doors out to the sheltered courtyard garden. On the first floor are two bedrooms and the family bathroom, with a large double bedroom on the top floor. We love the secluded secret garden, which is accessed via a path and steps through woodland - it has scope to be landscaped or lawned and the views from the raised decking area are simply splendid.

Cromford was the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution and is a World Heritage Site. As a result, for such a small village, it has a wealth of pubs, shops, eateries and the Mill complex includes some wonderful delicatessens, gift shops, museums and activities. There are walks aplenty in all directions including along the banks of Cromford Canal and the River Derwent, whilst the High Peak Trail at the top of Cromford Hill offers off-road trails all the way up to Buxton in the north and Ashbourne to the west. Carsington Water and the market towns of Matlock and Bakewell are also within a short drive.

Front Of The Home - A pretty three storey stone cottage with gabled roof, this home has a parking space immediately outside.
