Description
The Location - This home is located just a short walk from the centre of Cromford, which is a popular local centre with shops, post office, cafes, pubs and a sought after primary school. Nearby towns such as Wirksworth, Matlock and Ashbourne offer further facilities and the city of Derby is just half an hour away by car. Cromford has a railway station and is well connected to the main road network by the A6. The village is part of a Unesco World Heritage Site set in the rolling countryside of Derbyshire Dales, and is close to the Peak District National Park as well as Carsington Water which offers watersports and wildlife activities.. Lovely walks from the doorstep here too, with a network of footpaths linking up with the nearby High Peak Trail.
A Brief History - This home, dating back to the late 17th Century is Grade II Listed and is believed to have been used for a number of different purposes over the years including an Ale House (there is a former serving hatch still evident in the Living Room) and a chapel. The current vendors have been informed by local historians that this home will have been occupied by "multiple" families at the same time, initially lead miners and latterly employees of Arkwright's Mill.
Ground Floor - This home can be entered via the front door which leads into the dining kitchen or via the multi-paned, split stable door to the rear which opens into the

Utility Area - 1.54 x 0.87 max (5'0" x 2'10" max) - With wall mounted shelving, space and plumbing for a washing machine/dryer with a small window to the rear aspect.

There are feature inglenooks with display shelving, TV and satellite points and an opening which leads to the front door and vestibule.
Dining Kitchen - 3.64 x 2.73 (11'11" x 8'11") - With a wood laminate flooring and a solid wood range of wall, base and drawer units with open display shelving and matching plate rack, inset stainless steel sink and mixer tap over.

A delightful stone fireplace with original built -in cupboards to the side houses an "Oregon Masport" cast iron stove/heater. There is a double glazed sash window to the front aspect and a solid oak door which leads out to the front pathway and garden.
First Floor - From the hallway, a cottage door opens to reveal the staircase which rises to the first floor (Derbyshire) landing which measures 2.57 x 2.09m. There is a window to the side aspect, a wall light and a Victorian-style radiator. Doors lead to bedroom two and

Bedroom Two - 3.87 x 2.8 (12'8" x 9'2") - Another double bedroom with a Victorian-style fireplace, wall light and a multi-paned window to the front aspect.
Outside - To the front of the property there is a gravelled driveway providing parking for one car (there is potential here to widen the driveway to increase the parking subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and approvals). Steps lead up to an extensive lawned garden bordered with an extensive range of mature trees (numerous fruit trees including apple and cherry)and plants. Steps lead down to a gravelled pathway which continue around to the front door and to the side where a wooden gate leads to the rear garden passing the stone-built former outhouse (1.84 x 1.18m) having power and providing useful storage for garden equipment etc. Here we discover an extensive lawned garden with paved seating area, external water tap and security lighting and a central gravelled pathway which leads down to the bottom of the garden, again having a range of plants and trees (apple and nut) along with a number of fruit bushes including strawberry and blueberry. There are two/three seating areas around the garden, ideal for enjoying the south-facing aspect and the elevated views towards Riber Castle and the Heights of Abraham.

To the side of the Pigsty there is a useful storage area for wood, garden equipment etc.
Directional Notes - The approach from our Wirksworth Office at the Market Place is to continue towards Cromford via Harrison Drive, Continue up Steeple Grange passing under the bridge with the High Peak Trail and travel down Cromford Hill where the property is located on the right hand side, clearly identified by our For Sale board. We would recommend parking on Barnwell Lane (just after the cottage on the right hand side) and walking back up to the cottage on first viewings.
