Location
Wirksworth is one of the oldest towns in Derbyshire and is a popular location for the exploration of the Peak District. The country houses of Chatsworth, Haddon, Hardwick, Bolsover, Kedleston and Tissington are all within easy reach and the opportunities afforded by outdoor pursuits in the Peak Park and nearby Carsington Water are endless. Approximately 14 miles from Derby, 23 from Nottingham and 27 from Sheffield, Wirksworth has become popular for commuters but remains a truly lived-in town with a real sense of community. It offers a good variety of shops, places to eat, several notable public houses and the independent Northern Light Cinema. There is a lively arts scene and this includes the well renowned Arts Festival which takes place over a fortnight in September. There is a market every Tuesday as well as a farmers market on the first Saturday of each month. The Old Manse is well placed for easy access to all local facilities, schools, medical centre and leisure centre.

A Brief History of The Old Manse

The Accommodation
The Old Manse stands proudly on Coldwell Street, Steps lead up to the central front door and the substantial marble tiled entrance hall within.

Ground Floor

First Floor
Beyond the splendid galleried landing are the three generous bedrooms and two bathrooms. The fabulous master bedroom has an original fireplace and a Jack and Jill ensuite shared with a further substantial bedroom with another original grate. The third double bedroom on this floor is currently used as a dressing room, predominantly as the room is furnished with numerous built-in wardrobes. The dramatic family bathroom with a jacuzzi bath, exposed stone wall, electric heated granite tiled floor and fantastic views is most impressive. It would easily accommodate a shower cubicle if required. Adjacent to the bathroom is the boiler room, complete with two Vaillant boilers and pressurised cylinder which service the hot water and central heating system.

Second Floor
A mid-landing and sliding door provide access to a further substantial bedroom with another bedroom/dressing room alongside. There are two further large double bedrooms off the main landing as well as a well appointed shower room. Plantation style shutters provide privacy and light to all rooms on this floor.

Cellar
Beneath the home are large vaulted cellars and having both power and light, the space could be used for a number of purposes including a workshop.

Garage
The double garage is accessed to the front via an electric up and over door and to the rear is a door and steps leading up to the terrace.

Outside
The area is easily manageable but provides plenty of space for relaxing or outdoor dining. A hot tub, included in the sale, completes the al fresco entertaining possibilities. The views looking up to the hills beyond Wirksworth from the courtyard and the terrace are simply delightful.
