DESCRIPTION
A delightful three-bedroom natural stone-built cottage brimming with character. Nestled in a tranquil lane on the Darley hillside, this period property boasts stunning views over the Derwent Valley and the surrounding hills of the Peak District National Park.

The property's large gardens, previously utilised for market gardening, offer breathtaking views as they gently elevate towards the rear boundary. There may be potential for development, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consent.
