Description

Originating as part of a row of railway workers cottages, no. 1 now stands semi-detached and provides characterful two bedroom accommodation. Internally there is scope for some updating and the cottage has the rare advantage of a generous garden plot, which combine with this special location to make a very desirable proposition for those with outdoor lifestyles. The cottages nestle off a private drive, shared as access to the nearby Arkwright wharf buildings and which lead directly on to the historic Cromford Canal by High Peak Junction, all of which form part of the World Heritage Site. Both the canal and High Peak Trail provide off-road links to the immediate countryside and to the surrounding woodland and meadows, which add to the magic of this superb Derwent Valley setting.

The property faces across the valley yet conveniently accessed via a private drive off the main A6 trunk road which runs at the rear providing ready road links to the neighbouring villages and market towns. Cromford lies a short way to the north, offering a wide range of local amenities and along with Whatstandwell to the south, each offer respected primary school options. The market towns of Wirksworth (3 miles), Matlock (4 miles) Belper (6 miles) are also accessible, and the cities of Derby and Nottingham are each within daily commuting distance. Whatstandwell and Cromford train stations provide rail links to the national network.

OUTSIDE & PARKING
The cottage is complemented by a larger than average area of garden which extends to the front and a good way to the side. This delightful outside space offers ample scope for the keen gardener.
