A charming Grade II listed three-bedroom duplex apartment in the heart of Tideswell, boasting character features, spacious accommodation and delightful terraced gardens.

History - Madeira House is a mid-18th-century Grade II listed building on Commercial Road, Tideswell, traditionally associated with the village’s former House of Correction or County Bridewell. Tideswell’s House of Correction dated back to 1711, moved to premises on Commercial Road in the mid-18th century, and remained part of the local justice system until the establishment closed in 1828 following the opening of the larger county jail at Derby. Historic England describes it as a mid-18th-century former house, later used as a restaurant, built of rendered limestone rubble with gritstone dressings, a Welsh slate roof, three storeys, mullioned windows, and later ground-floor alterations. Crucially, the official listing adds that it is “said to have formerly housed the town House of Correction.”
