Bedroom Three - 4.3 x 3.65 (14'1" x 11'11") - This large double bedroom at the front of the home has full-width, full-height fitted wardrobes all along the far wall. We adore the elevated views towards the millpond and over Scarthin up to the hillside beyond Mount Pleasant.

Large Single Garage - 4.9 x 3.4 (16'0" x 11'1") - Located at the end of the driveway, with space in front for one vehicle to park, this large single garage has timber doors, lighting and a power supply which is separate from the main house supply. We were fascinated by the famous local water feature called the Bearpit - a deep well-like structure through which water has flowed for centuries to the Arkwright mills.
Outbuilding - 2.45 x 2.2 and 2.2 x 0.8 (8'0" x 7'2" and 7'2" x 2 - The larger room has power and lighting and the smaller room has a window. These useful store rooms are an ideal space to house garden tools and equipment.
Rear Garden - Immediately outside the kitchen, accessed through the stable door, is a courtyard garden surrounded by a timber fence and low-level hedges. It's a perfect spot to gather with family and friends for a spot of breakfast, through to lunch and evening drinks and dining.
Beyond the outbuilding is a splendid managed garden, spread across seven tiers, which slope gently upwards. It's a real treasure trove of abundant fruit trees, vegetable patches and plants, which have been lovingly and organically tended for over three decades. The initial seating area has a magnolia tree to the right. Further along are apple trees with cooking apples and russets (the owner kindly let us munch one as we wandered up the garden...delicious!). There is a dry stone wall and hedge forming the right-hand boundary, with a hedge on the left and large sycamore tree at the top. From this vantage point, you have wonderful views over Cromford rooftops in all directions - it's a magical and serene spot from which to survey this historic village - the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution.
