Perfectly positioned to make the most of it all, the charming summer house offers an idyllic place to relax, entertain or simply soak in the scenery.

Complementing the home is a substantial 10.4m x 4.5m stone-built garage, providing excellent storage, workshop potential or secure parking, alongside a beautifully crafted granite cobbled driveway complete with a turntable for effortless manoeuvring and everyday convenience.

Homes combining such exceptional views, character and quality of finish are seldom available. This is countryside living at its very finest.

Rose Cottage - Extending to 1,302 sqft of beautifully presented accommodation arranged over two storeys, this enchanting home effortlessly combines period charm with exceptional attention to detail. Rich in character at every turn, a wealth of original features including exposed timber beams and traditional mullioned windows celebrate the property's heritage, while thoughtfully curated interiors create a warm, elegant and timeless living environment.

At the heart of the home is a charming solid wood cottage kitchen, perfectly suited to both family life and entertaining, while the formal dining room, complete with a characterful log-burning stove, provides an inviting setting for gatherings with family and friends. The dual-aspect family lounge is a truly special space, centred around a second log burner and framed by windows that perfectly capture the spectacular countryside views beyond, ensuring the stunning setting remains an ever-present feature of daily life.

Upstairs, three beautifully styled bedrooms each possess their own individual character and charm, complemented by two well-appointed bathrooms including a stylish principal en-suite shower room. Adding a practical touch rarely found in homes of this age, a dedicated first-floor laundry room enjoys direct access to the garden, seamlessly blending convenience with the unique lifestyle this exceptional home offers.

The Garage - A particularly noteworthy feature of the property is the substantial 580 sqft stone-built garage, offering far more than simple vehicle storage. Beautifully constructed and full of potential, this impressive space provides an exceptional workshop, hobby area or storage facility, making it an invaluable addition for those seeking practical versatility. Complete with its own WC, the garage offers a level of functionality rarely found and is undoubtedly one of the property's standout features.

The garage is approached by a granite cobbled driveway which features a turntable for easy manoeuvring.

The Summer House - Occupying a privileged position at the top of the garden, the summer house has been thoughtfully placed to embrace the property's truly spectacular outlook. A haven of peace and tranquillity, it enjoys far-reaching views across rolling Derbyshire countryside towards Ogston Reservoir, creating the perfect setting to relax, entertain or simply pause and appreciate the beauty of the landscape.

Dales & Peaks Forwardmove Please Read - Dales & Peaks is marketing this Property with the benefit of ForwardMove. Dales & Peaks has introduced ForwardMove to help speed up the sales process, minimise sale fall-throughs and give more certainty to both the Seller and the Buyer.

Purchasers will benefit from the Buyer Information Pack (BIP), which we have created with our legal partners, to give buyers more information before they agree to purchase.

The pack includes:

Property information form (TA6)
Fixtures and contents form (TA10)
Official Copy of the Register (OC1)
Title Plan (OC2)
Local Search*
Water and Drainage Search*
Coal and Mining Search*
Homescreen / Environmental Search*

(Dales & Peaks has ordered the local, drainage, coal and homescreen / environmental searches; we will add these to the BIP as they become available)


ForwardMove allows the sale process to be completed significantly quicker than a ‘normal sale’. This is because the legal work, usually done in the first four to eight weeks after the sale is agreed, has already been completed. The searches, which can take up to five weeks, are ordered on the day the listing goes live and are transferable to the successful Buyer as part of their legal due diligence.

Additionally, and on behalf of the Seller, Dales & Peaks requests that the successful Buyer enters into a Reservation Agreement and pays the Reservation Agreement Fee of £595 (including VAT). This includes payment for the Buyer Information Pack and all the searches (which a buyer typically purchases separately after the sale is agreed).

Upon receipt of the signed Reservation Agreement, payment of the Reservation Agreement Fee, completion of ID and AML checks and the issuing of the Memorandum of Sale, the Seller will agree to take the Property off the market and market it as Sold Subject To Contract (SSTC).

During the Reservation Agreement period, the Seller will reject all offers and not enter into another agreement with any other buyer. The reservation period is agreed upon at the time of sale but is usually between 60 and 120 days.

The Reservation Fee is non-refundable except where the Seller withdraws from the sale. A copy of the Reservation Agreement is available on request, and Dales & Peaks advises potential buyers to seek legal advice before entering into the Reservation Agreement.

If you have any questions about the process or want to know how selling or buying with Dales & Peaks ForwardMove could benefit you, please speak to a member of the Dales & Peaks team.
