A delightful and characterful stone-built mid-row period property with a date stone of 1842, ideally located in an elevated position with commanding views over the village of Cromford and the surrounding open countryside. The accommodation is set over three floors and offers: Two bedrooms; family bathroom; living room; and kitchen, with a boot room / utility room off. To the rear of the property there are pleasant terraced gardens. To the front of the property is a small forecourt garden, taking advantage of the superb view, and adjacent to the property is a further area of garden.
Cromford is a small village with a lot of historical interest being the site of the first successful water-powered cotton mill in the country. The village grew up around the mill, the majority of the houses being built by the mill owner Richard Arkwright (founder of the English sewing Cotton Company). Today the village is part of the Valley Mills World Heritage Site and offers good local amenities with easy access to the nearby towns of Wirksworth (1.8 miles), Matlock (2.6 miles), and Belper (7.8 miles), and is within commuting distance of Derby and Nottingham and having easy access to the M1 Motorway via the A38 trunk road. There is a branch line train station with a regular service to Derby and Nottingham.
Entering the property via a half-glazed stable-style entrance door which opens to:
Living room
With front-aspect double-glazed casement windows enjoying pleasant views over the village to the wooded hills beyond. The room has a fine feature fireplace with a dressed gritstone surround and heavy exposed stone lintel, with a raised hearth housing a Clearview multifuel stove. To the side of the chimney breast are original built-in pot cupboards. The room has a central heating radiator with thermostatic valve, a telephone point with internet connection, and television aerial point. A door opening leads to:
Kitchen
Having a rear-aspect borrowed-light window and staircase rising to the upper floor accommodation. The kitchen is fitted with a good range of units in an oak finish with cupboards and drawers set beneath a worksurface and wall mounted storage cupboards. Set within the kitchen worksurface is a porcelain sink with mixer tap, and a four-ring Neff ceramic hob, over which is an extractor canopy. Beneath the hob is a fan-assisted electric oven. Beneath the worksurface, there is a space for an under-counter fridge, and there is an integral slimline dishwasher. A half-glazed door opens to:
Utility/boot room
