Standing towards the centre of this vibrant Derbyshire Dales village, this period cottage provides well proportioned accommodation with the benefit of off street parking and cottage gardens. There is scope for cosmetic improvement and repair in places. The cottage pre-dates much of the surrounding Arkwright buildings and heritage for which the village is respected and notably lies within the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site.

The village has a thriving community, is a draw for tourists and offers a range of local shops, eateries and other amenities including a respected primary school.

Good road links lead to the surrounding Derbyshire Dales countryside and nearby attractions include Arkwrights Milll, Cromford Canal, High Peak Trail, Black Rock and Carsington Water. The market towns of Wirksworth (2 miles), Matlock (3 miles), Chesterfield (12 miles), Belper (8 miles) are each readily accessible by road, with the cities of Derby and Nottingham each within daily commuting distance.
