There is useful understairs storage cupboard. The dining room opens into a cottage-style re-fitted DeVol kitchen with cabinets and worktops, oak flooring, including a Belfast sink, an Everhot Aga-style cooker, and a Bosch dishwasher.
The first floor comprises three double bedrooms, an ensuite bathroom with re-enamelled original roll top bath, and a Jack & Jill shower room, completing the accommodation.

There is also the potential to reinstate a previously existing driveway.

Locality - Wetton is a quaint village situated in the heart of the Peak District National Park, approximately 2 miles west of Alstonefield and 9 miles from Ashbourne. Perched high above the scenic Manifold Valley, Wetton is predominantly comprised of charming stone-built properties that exude a timeless rustic charm.
The village boasts a welcoming inn where both locals and visitors can enjoy hearty meals and refreshing beverages. One of Wetton's notable landmarks is its historic church, parts of which date back to the 14th century. This church is particularly unique due to its external staircase leading up to the belfry, a rare architectural feature that adds to the village's distinctive character. Wetton’s elevated position offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside, making it a delightful destination for those looking to explore the natural beauty of the Peak District.

Owner's perspective "We fell in love with this house because it is the picture of a traditional, stone country cottage and garden. Wetton is still a farming village with a local community and a 17th Century pub.

We have lived here for over 30 years and as our family grew we extended the house always in keeping with the original features such as the exposed beams, thick walls and wooden windows and windowsills.
Wetton is on the doorstep to Thors Cave and the breathtaking views across the Manifold Valley as well a short walk to the prettiest part of the River Dove between Milldale and the Stepping Stones.
As they grew up, our children have enjoyed paddling in the Dove, walking, cycling and horse riding among few of the many activities that the Peak and its surrounding communities have to offer."
