INFORMATION / PICTURES FROM THE AGENT:
Church Gates Cottage & Church Gates House
Main Street, Parwich, Ashbourne, DE6 1QL
(To Be Sold as One Lot)

A rare chance to acquire two adjoining Grade II listed semi-detached stone cottages in the very heart of the Peak District village of Parwich. Steeped in history and character, Church Gates Cottage and Church Gates House enjoy an unrivalled position beside the church, each with their own garden and sitting area.

Together, the properties offer an exceptional investment, combining a delightful one-bedroom holiday let with a larger two-bedroom home in need of sympathetic renovation. Both retain period charm and, offered as one lot, provide endless opportunities for the next custodian.

Church Gates Cottage
Currently run as a one-bedroom holiday let, this charming cottage is perfectly presented and ready to continue as a profitable short-stay retreat. With a welcoming lounge, fitted kitchen, a double bedroom and bathroom upstairs, plus a lawned garden and outdoor sitting area, it is an idyllic Peak District bolthole.

Church Gates House
Adjoining the cottage, Church Gates House is a larger semi-detached home requiring renovation and modernisation. Arranged across three floors, it includes two bedrooms, bathroom, two reception rooms, a kitchen, and two loft rooms. Its scale and character make it an exciting project with enormous potential for transformation into a beautiful family home.

Location
Parwich is often described as one of Derbyshire's most picturesque villages, with stone cottages clustered around a green, a thriving community spirit, and a welcoming pub.
