Grant's of Derbyshire are delighted to offer For Sale this two bedroomed detached cottage which enjoys an elevated position in the much sought after and favoured location of Greenhill close to the centre of Wirksworth. The accommodation briefly comprises dining kitchen, sitting room with wood burning stove, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The views from the property itself are stunning and the courtyard to the front provides a most pleasant space in which to sit and enjoy the excellent outlook. The cottage retains much character but has undergone a full programme of refurbishment in the past seven years and work undertaken includes the installation of gas central heating, a full rewire, new insulated floors on the ground floor, damp proof work, new kitchen and bathroom and redecoration throughout in keeping with and sympathetic to the age of the property. There is scope for further work to be carried out and permission is in place for the demolition of the old outbuildings to create a larger outdoor space with timber shed and covered log and bin store. Alternatively, there is potential for a single storey extension to replace the outbuildings, with pre-planning advice and architects drawings available. It is the request of the current owners that this home be sold as a primary residence only. No Upward Chain. Viewing Highly Recommended.
