This stone cottage is in the market town of Belper, which lies within the UNESCO Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. The town’s Industrial Revolution links are evident and include the historic North Mill - heritage centre and pretty riverside gardens - and shops and pubs are just 500 yards from the house. Water sports, cycling and fishing are on offer at Carsington Water (10 miles) and the National Tramway Museum (6 miles) features a recreated period village with vintage trams taking visitors out into the countryside and back. Ashbourne (12 miles) has a Victorian market square, local shops and antique stores that are well worth a visit.
The cottage has been renovated to a high standard while retaining its original charm and character. The attractive lounge features a comfortable sofa, armchair and two easy chairs set around a wood burner in a traditional fireplace. The colourful kitchen has all you need to cook up a storm and includes a round dining table and chairs and French doors leading out to the garden. Two bedrooms are on the first floor – a spacious double and a twin – and a modern bathroom features a luxurious rolltop bath and a separate large shower. A large king-size bedroom on the second floor has far-reaching views.
Outside to the rear lies a beautiful garden with lawns and a furnished patio area to enjoy a morning coffee, or evening meal on a warm, sunny day.
