Grant’s of Derbyshire are delighted to present this characterful two bedroom cottage, beautifully positioned in the heart of the historic village of Middleton-by-Wirksworth.
This property has recently undergone an extensive programme of refurbishment, completed to a high standard throughout. The works have introduced a range of sympathetically designed contemporary updates, all carefully chosen to complement and preserve the period charm that defines this delightful cottage.
Middleton‑by‑Wirksworth is a delightful village known for its friendly community, two traditional pubs, and immediate access to the High Peak Trail — a former railway line now enjoyed by walkers, cyclists and horse riders along its impressive 17‑mile pedestrian only route.
Just one mile to the south lies Wirksworth, widely regarded as one of the Peak District’s most vibrant and creative small towns. Here you’ll find an excellent selection of independent cafés, restaurants, artisan food producers, traditional pubs and boutique shops, all contributing to its thriving atmosphere.
The accommodation comprises a welcoming well-designed newly fitted kitchen and dining room centred around an impressive staircase with timber and glass balustrade. An opening to the right leads into the charming lounge, an inviting space with traditional features, underfloor heating, and a solid oak floor.
The first floor provides a generous double bedroom and spacious single bedroom. Also on this floor is a stylish shower room with WC.
A viewing of this property is highly recommended to be able to fully appreciate the space, character and quality on offer.
The property is accessed from the front pavement which leads directly to the part glazed wooden front entrance door. This opens into the:

A black tectonite bowl sink with mixer tap sits beneath the window, and integrated appliances include a ceramic hob with integral extractor unit over, electric oven and fridge. The floor is laid with hard‑wearing vinyl, complemented by underfloor heating which provides warmth to the room. An oak door opens to a useful under‑stairs cupboard, while a further adjacent door conceals the modern consumer unit and boiler, along with additional storage space. The standout feature of this room is the timber and glass curved staircase — where contemporary styling meets traditional craftsmanship. This beautifully complements the original oak beam that spans the centre of the ceiling, adding character to the space. An opening takes you into
