The Parish House and 4 Surgery Lane, The Common, Crich, DE4 5BH

We are delighted to offer this most interesting and historic duo of stone built properties which are located in the heart of this sought after village of Crich. The Parish House (often referred to as the Parish Room) in Crich, near Matlock, is a historic building that originally served as a meeting place for an Independent Society. In 1894, following the Local Government Act, it was officially designated as the Parish Room for community use. It was then acquired from Crich Village Council in July 1997 and converted to two separate dwellings in 2002 and have operated as extremely successful residential lets since then. The ground floor of this building is known as “4 Surgery Lane” and the first floor is known as “The Parish House”. Whilst independent homes with their own separate access and utilities, both properties share the same, singular title deed. The ground floor accommodation (4 Surgery lane) comprises of a double bedroom, an open plan living/dining area with kitchen, an inner lobby with walk in cupboards and a bathroom. The Parish House comprises of a double bedroom with dressing area, lounge, dining kitchen, a shower room and utility area. The properties have a wealth of character and original features such as the King Post wooden trusses evident in The Parish House. Consideration could be given to converting the two homes to one dwelling. Viewing Highly Recommended. Virtual Tour Available. No Upward Chain.
