Description

Occupying a truly enviable position surrounded by beautiful countryside, this charming detached stone-built cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a character-filled home in an idyllic rural setting. Originally forming part of the historic Chatsworth Estate, the property seamlessly blends period features with modern comforts, creating a wonderful home with breathtaking far-reaching views across the surrounding landscape.

Beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated throughout, the accommodation is both versatile and spacious. The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance hall, two well-proportioned reception rooms bursting with character, a traditional farmhouse-style kitchen, and a useful additional room that could serve as a home office, music room, hobby room, or occasional guest bedroom. A cloakroom/utility area and generous walk-in pantry further enhance the practicality of the home.

To the first floor are two bedrooms, including a superb principal bedroom enjoying stunning countryside views and benefiting from an en-suite shower room. The second bedroom is equally charming and enjoys delightful views over the surrounding grounds.

Externally, the property is approached via a gravel driveway providing ample off-road parking and turning space. The beautifully landscaped gardens wrap around the cottage and include established lawns, mature planting, attractive seating areas, and a peaceful courtyard terrace, all designed to take full advantage of the spectacular outlook.

A substantial detached stone outbuilding provides excellent storage and offers potential for a variety of uses, subject to any necessary consents. The property sits within approximately 1.1 acres in total, including formal gardens and a grazing paddock of around 0.75 acres, making it ideal for those seeking an equestrian lifestyle, smallholding opportunities, or simply additional outdoor space.

Further potential exists within the loft space, which may offer scope for future conversion subject to the relevant planning permissions and building regulations.

Offering a combination of charm, character, land, outbuildings, and truly exceptional views, this is a unique country home in a highly desirable location and an opportunity not to be missed.
