A charming two-bedroom Grade II listed mid-stone cottage, set in the beautiful village of Cromford within the Derbyshire Dales.

BENNET SAMWAYS are delighted to offer for sale this charming two-bedroom Grade II listed mid-stone cottage, set in the beautiful village of Cromford within the Derbyshire Dales. The property offers a gross internal area of approximately 650sq.ft. and is available with NO CHAIN. Could be an ideal first time buy, second home or a great downsize!

Interior – Stepping into the cottage, you are greeted by a welcoming lounge/diner packed with character, featuring a beamed ceiling and a striking stone fireplace with a gas stove fire. There’s also a useful storage cupboard and stairs leading to the first floor. The kitchen, while compact, offers a selection of cabinets and worktops, space for a cooker and fridge, a quarry-tiled floor, and a door leading out to the garden.
On the first floor, a further staircase rises to the second floor, and there is a door into the generous master bedroom, which includes a stone fireplace and a storage cupboard.
Finally, on the second floor, there is a second bedroom and a fitted bathroom.

Exterior – To the front of the cottage is a parking space providing valuable off-road parking. The rear garden, while undeniably charming, is steep and may not suit everyone. Immediately outside the kitchen is a small yard with steps leading up to a stone outbuilding and a raised decked seating area, which enjoys lovely views over the cottage rooftops. Further steps lead to the top garden area, which includes a garden shed and stunning views across Cromford.

Locality - Cromford is a charming and historically significant village nestled within the picturesque Derbyshire Dales, on the edge of the Peak District National Park. Renowned as the birthplace of the modern factory system, Cromford is home to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Cromford Mills, founded by Sir Richard Arkwright in the 18th century. The village offers a unique blend of industrial heritage and natural beauty, with scenic walks along the Cromford Canal and surrounding countryside. Residents benefit from a strong sense of community, a selection of independent shops, pubs, and cafes, as well as convenient access to nearby towns such as Matlock and Wirksworth. With its rich history, stunning surroundings, and excellent transport links—including a railway station with direct services to Derby—Cromford is an attractive location for those seeking a balance of rural tranquillity and modern convenience.

Owner's perspective - "In 2002, we purchased 40 Water Lane as a second home and embarked on a thoughtful renovation to preserve the period charm of this original Arkwright Weavers’ cottage. Since then, the property has been well-cared for and gradually improved. While we are now reluctantly offering it for sale, we hope it will bring as much joy to its next owner as it has to us.
The cottage is warm, welcoming, and easy to maintain, and is presented in very good order throughout. A beautifully tended cottage garden, with dry stone terracing leading up to the woodland behind, offers peaceful, elevated views. Cromford, a vibrant village with a strong community spirit, boasts excellent bus and rail links and rich historical significance as part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Just five minutes away, you’ll find the renowned Scarthin Books, along with cafés, canal walks, and all the charm the area has to offer. Whether as a first home, second home, or holiday let, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a delightful property in one of Derbyshire’s most characterful and well-connected locations."
