A beautiful rural cottage, combining character with contemporary comfort and convenience, set within delightful countryside bordering the Derbyshire Dales. Offering stylish, light-filled living spaces and impressive eco credentials, Clog Cottage presents a rare opportunity to enjoy modern country living in an idyllic location.

Ground floor
A welcoming hallway with exposed brickwork leads through to a beautifully presented sitting room, where a striking gable window fills the space with natural light, complemented by exposed beams and a cosy log burner. French patio doors open to the rear, creating a seamless connection to the garden. Opposite, and at the heart of this family home, is the superb open-plan living kitchen, featuring bespoke cabinetry, quality integrated appliances, and ample space for both relaxing and entertaining, all while enjoying delightful views of the surrounding countryside. A useful utility room with plumbing and appliance space, as well as a cloakroom, complete the ground floor.

First floor
Upstairs, the landing leads to the three generously proportioned bedrooms. The principal suite enjoys the added luxury of an en suite shower room and a Juliette balcony, ideally positioned to take in the delightful views. The remaining two bedrooms are equally well-appointed, ideal for family or guests, and are served by a modern family bathroom featuring both a freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower.

Additional information
Originally dating to the early 1800’s, the property has undergone an extensive programme of high-quality upgrades with a strong focus on energy efficiency and modern living. The original roof has been re-laid and insulated to a high standard, incorporating integrated solar panels on the east, south and west faces to maximise energy generation throughout the day. Externally, some walls have been enhanced with insulation boards whilst new composite windows maintain an attractive and natural appearance. Internally, the ground floor has been insulated, with the addition of an underfloor heating system, overlaid with engineered oak flooring to the reception areas. A modern air source heat pump powers the heating system, with excess solar energy diverted to heat hot water. Further improvements include the addition of battery storage, enabling the home to benefit from off-peak energy tariffs while storing and utilising solar power, resulting in a highly efficient home powered by a smart blend of renewable and grid energy.

Gardens and grounds
The gardens wrap around the cottage on three sides, providing a variety of spaces to relax and enjoy the tranquil setting, with open countryside views available at all times. Having been thoughtfully landscaped with a mix of lawn and patio areas, the gardens provide year-round interest. An outbuilding provides a useful storage space, with potential for uses such as a workshop or home office. Across the lane, there is ample off road parking, along with a productive kitchen garden, complete with raised beds, greenhouse and a selection of fruit trees.
