Main Street, Middleton

We adore this stylish home which is packed with original features and also has a high quality modern kitchen and bathrooms. All furniture can be included, making this a perfect starter home (especially as it is council tax band A), rental property or holiday home. With the High Peak Trail, countryside walks on your doorstep and both Cromford and Wirksworth - recently named 'Sunday Times best place to live in Derbyshire' - within a 5 minute drive, this is a wonderful location in which to live.

This three storey home has a large living room (with space for a dining table) and kitchen on the ground floor. To the first floor is a large double bedroom and the main bathroom, whilst the second floor has another large double with Juliet balcony and en-suite shower room.

Middleton-by-Wirksworth is a small hilltop village with a multitude of walks and cycling routes leading from the village via the High Peak Trail and Middleton Moor. The village has a lovely primary school, village hall - which has events including regular cinema nights - and a play park. Two differing pubs offer real ale and cooked meals. Wirksworth, with independent shops, cinema and restaurants, a health centre, schools and much more is within walking distance down the hill. The Peak District, Matlock, Cromford, Carsington Water and the High Peak Trail are very close by.

Front Of The Home - Located in the heart of Middleton, this immaculate three storey semi-detached cottage is stone built and has attractive darker stone quoins up the right-hand corner of the home, as well as a tiled roof. The part-glazed timber door has a stone lintel overhead and stone jambs to each side.

Entrance Porch - With a tiled floor, ceiling light fitting and meter cupboard on the right, this entrance porch has stairs to the upper floors immediately in front and a pine door on your left into the living room.

Living Room - 3.82 x 3.8 (12'6" x 12'5") - A large picture book east-facing window floods this room with natural light. It is a classically styled room, with parquet flooring and a large stone fireplace. Within the fireplace is a log burner and flue, set upon a stone hearth with tiled surround. The wide alcove on the left has fitted shelving. The room also has a high ceiling with light fitting and coving, tall pine skirting boards and a radiator. There is plenty of room for a small dining table, sofas and lounge furniture. We love the distinctive solid pine doorway with vertical glazed panels which leads through to the kitchen.

Kitchen - 3.45 x 2 (11'3" x 6'6") - The well-designed modern kitchen has an L-shaped worktop with a range of low-level fitted cabinets. Set within the worktop is a contemporary sink and drainer with chrome mixer tap, as well as a ceramic four-ring electric hob with electric oven below. The worktop has lots of space for food preparation and small appliances, with some wall-mounted shelving above.

Below the worktop is space and plumbing for a washing machine, a refrigerator with freezer compartment and an integrated dishwasher.

The kitchen has a tiled floor, ceiling light fitting and recessed ceiling spotlight. The half-glazed uPVC door leads out to a useful storage area tucked neatly beneath the neighbouring driveway. From this rear entrance, steps lead up to The Alley behind, with access to a shed and log store.

Stairs To First Floor Landing - Solid oak stairs with a handrail on the left lead up to the carpeted first floor landing. This extends left to the bathroom and right to Bedroom Two and more stairs, up to the second floor. At that far end is a wall-mounted meter cupboard and a tall window with views to the street outside. The landing has a radiator and ceiling light fitting.

Bathroom - 2.2 x 1.85 (7'2" x 6'0") - The modern bathroom has a vinyl floor and contemporary slate grey rectangular wall tiles. On the right, the rectangular bath has a chrome mixer tap, a mains-fed shower above and pivoting glass screen. To the left is a ceramic pedestal sink with chrome mixer tap and a ceramic WC with integral flush. The room also includes a tall frosted double-glazed window, radiator, ceiling light fitting and wall-mounted mirrored cabinet.

Bedroom Two - 3.81 x 3.07 (12'5" x 10'0") - Situated at the front of the home is this very spacious and light double bedroom. Currently set up as a twin, the original fireplace is in situ but just used for display. The cupboard in the corner houses an Ideal boiler and this carpeted room has a radiator and ceiling light fitting.

Stairs To Second Floor - Wide carpeted stairs have a banister on the left. At the landing, the tall window looks across to the leafy trees opposite. There is space on the landing for a wardrobe and there is a ceiling light fitting and loft hatch overhead. A pine door leads into the master bedroom.

Bedroom One - 3.85 x 3.02 (12'7" x 9'10") - This delightful dual aspect bedroom has a new Juliet balcony on the western (right) side of the room and there is a large east-facing window opposite, with terrific views across to Black Rocks. So natural light pours into this space, enhanced by the decor and high ceiling. The room is carpeted and has a radiator, ceiling light fitting and lots of space for a double bed and additional furniture. A door leads through to the en-suite shower room.
