Water Lane, DE4

This period semi-detached three storey cottage is built within rendered elevations, beneath a blue slate roof and stands to a reasonable plot with gardens to the front and side. There is the added benefit of a good sized single garage and the whole property is generally in need of updating and refurbishment.

The house stands prominently alongside Water Lane, close to the village mill pond and the central shops, pubs and facilities on offer. Cromford is renowned for its historic links within the Arkwright dynasty, being the founder of the industrial revolution and now forms part of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. The village is conveniently placed for access to the surrounding recreational delights of the Derwent Valley and Derbyshire Dales and to the wider Peak District National Park close by. Good road links lead to the neighbouring market towns of Matlock (3 miles), Wirksworth (2 miles), Belper (7 miles), Bakewell (11 miles), whilst the larger centres of employment of Chesterfield, Sheffield, Derby and Nottingham each lie within daily commuting distance.
