Tucked around the corner from Wirksworth's beautiful historic town centre is this double fronted, Georgian end terrace. The house has high ceilings and plenty of light from its large windows, and offers two reception rooms, two bedrooms, Derbyshire landing, bathroom and a part covered walled courtyard which is light, private and secluded. Viewing Highly Recommended, Virtual Tour Available, No Upward Chain.

Wirksworth And North End - Wirksworth offers a good variety of shops, restaurants, pubs and cafes, and a lively arts and social scene including the famous Arts Festival. There are medical facilities and good schools nearby, and excellent transport links including regular bus services, trains from nearby Cromford, and you can even catch a steam train to Duffield on the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway on special occasions! The Derbyshire Dales offer beautiful countryside walks and cycle rides, and nearby Carsington Water has water sports, walks and wildlife. A short drive takes you to the Peak District National Park.

Set in the heart of Wirksworth's conservation area but tucked away from the bustling main street, North End has a history all of its own. Originally the town's main thoroughfare and a manufacturing centre for red tape, it is now a mainly residential street with gorgeous period homes, the iconic Northern Light Cinema and a charming low key pub, the Royal Oak, just a stagger away! Walk a short distance along Coldwell Street, past the monument and Baptist Church, and you are in the town centre.

Thornden - Built in the 1820s from stone, brick and tile, on the site of a much older cottage dating back to the 1700s, the building was originally part of the much larger White Lion Inn, and in Victorian times was used as a printer's shop. It is now a comfortable and characterful home.

Ground Floor -

Entrance Hall - 4.38m x 1.18m - A long entrance hall welcomes you in. The staircase rises to the first floor and the doorway on the left leads into the

Sitting Room - 5.16m x 4.78m - With two large windows and a high ceiling, this is a spacious and light room. An open cast iron fireplace with oak surround and polished stone hearth provides a focal point (and crackling fires in winter!) and has a store cupboard to the side. A wide archway opens through to the

Dining Kitchen - 6.10m x 2.29m - A delightfully quirky room, with the end nearest the sitting room having plenty of space for dining table and chairs, backed by a huge window looking onto the courtyard. Linking the dining area with the courtyard is a galley kitchen with plenty of work surfaces and storage, and space for gas stove, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. Above the sink is a high window, and at the far end of the kitchen a half-glazed door opens out to the

Courtyard - A hidden gem! The courtyard gets plenty of sunlight, and has a polycarbonate roof covering a good portion of the area, meaning that this truly is a year-round space, being very sheltered and private. A "sheila maid" airer under the clear roof means you will never need a tumble dryer, and there are three deep full height cupboards along one wall which provide a huge amount of storage.

Upstairs - From the hallway, a flight of stairs leads up past original Georgian panelling to the

Derbyshire Landing - 3.64m x 2.97,m - An unusually large landing area, with doors off to bedrooms and bathroom, and a loft hatch. A small window offers a charming rooftop view towards the town.

Bedroom One - 3.62m x 3.40m - An original georgian four-panel door opens into this bright double room which has glimpses of green hills over the roof tops.

Bedroom Two - 4.98m x 2.30m - Another original four panel door into this long room, again with ample natural light, which looks across the street to lovely listed stone cottages.

Bathroom - 2.63m x 2.38m - Art Deco lovers - this is your bathroom! Three quarter tiled in black and white, with a full white suite including electric shower over the bath with glass shower screen. There are two tall linen cupboards, one housing the central heating boiler.

Loft Space - There is a large loft space, which is currently unconverted and well insulated. This area was clearly in use at some point as there are room partitions still in place, and there is potential for extension subject to permissions. The Derbyshire Landing offers ample space for a staircase to link the first floor and loft.

Parking - Parking is available outside the house, free after 5:40pm and before 8:20am Monday to Saturday and all day Sunday. At other times waiting is restricted to 40 minutes, but there is unrestricted parking round the corner, and a free car park further along North End. Residents have free car parking in all Derbyshire Dales car parks before 11am and after 4pm and we understand that it is also possible to purchase a yearly permit for the Derbyshire Dales car park on nearby Chapel Lane.
