Bridge Street, New Mills, SK22

Tucked away in the very heart of New Mills, this beautifully reimagined stone-built detached home feels like a love letter to the town itself—a microcosm of everything that makes this Derbyshire gem so special. Once the bustling JW Ridgway’s fish and chip shop—a treasured part of the community many years ago—this unique residence has since undergone a thoughtful transformation into a warm and character-filled two-bedroom detached home, brimming with individuality.

Step inside and you’re greeted by a sense of history, subtly echoed in the original features and the comforting solidity of its stone walls, yet softened by the easy flow of modern living spaces. The large kitchen offers spacious comfort with space for dining, while the lounge provides a warm and cosy sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of modern life, snuggled up by the Dunsley Highlander multifuel stove with its efficient back boiler. Two generous double bedrooms and a vast basement offer flexibility for everything from work-from-home setups to creative studios, prospective new layouts, or simply additional convenient storage space.

To the side of the home, the gardens unfold into an unexpected private haven. Mature trees, beautiful established plantings, and meandering paths give the space a serene, almost secret quality—evoking the quiet, soul-soothing charm of a walk along the Sett Valley Trail, down to The Torrs. There’s even a timber garden room, greenhouse, and tucked-away terraces perfect for morning coffee or twilight dining under the stars. And a forecourt offers potential off-street parking for one car.

This is a home where past and present meet in harmony. Within easy reach of local schools, the shops of the historic market town of New Mills in which it resides, and excellent transport links by rail or road, yet it feels worlds away once you step through the original front door.

Whether you’re drawn by the peaceful garden, the storied walls, or the timeless appeal of a central yet secluded Derbyshire home, this property isn’t just a place to live—it’s a part of New Mills itself, ready for its next chapter.
