The building dates from around 1910, stone built to an Arts and Crafts style, which features large multi-paned windows, interesting roof detail and a timber pillared walkway across the front which provides dry access from the car park. The internal design sympathetically retains original features where practical. The freehold property includes two private car parking spaces within the courtyard car park.

Situated within this highly regarded residential suburb, there is ready access to local amenities available in Darley Dale and Two Dales, with good walking routes from the doorstep either staying low within the valley or venturing to the surrounding hills and wider Derbyshire Dales countryside.
