Wetton is one of those quintessential White Peak villages that immediately captures the imagination, with traditional stone cottages, winding lanes, its historic church and village pub, all surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside in the Peak District National Park. The Manifold Valley is close at hand, with renowned walking country including Thor's Cave, Wolfscote Dale and Dovedale within easy reach.

The accommodation has a gross internal area of approximately 1,050sq.ft.

Interior - A useful entrance porch provides an ideal place for coats and muddy walking boots before opening into the dining room, immediately introducing the character found throughout the cottage. The dining room is a particularly appealing reception space with engineered oak flooring and traditional stone mullioned windows. A multi-fuel burning stove provides an attractive focal point and is perfect for those colder Peak District evenings. Being dual aspect, natural light enters from both the front and rear, while the room connects conveniently with both the kitchen and sitting room. The sitting room continues the engineered oak flooring and provides another comfortable reception room. Stone mullioned windows frame a lovely outlook along the village, while a second multi-fuel burning stove adds warmth and atmosphere. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of cabinets and worktops together with an inset double ceramic sink. Appliances include an electric oven and grill, four-ring electric hob and extractor fan, while a traditional Rayburn range cooker provides further character and also serves the central heating system. There is space for a freestanding fridge/freezer and access to an extremely useful under-stairs pantry with fitted shelving. Completing the ground-floor accommodation is a substantial lean-to utility room running along the side of the cottage. This provides plumbing and electricity for laundry appliances together with valuable additional storage.
Stairs rise to an extended landing on the first floor, which provides access to the three bedrooms, bathroom and additional separate WC. The principal bedroom is a good-sized double with traditional stone mullioned windows and elevated views across the rooftops of Wetton towards the surrounding countryside. The second bedroom is another generous double and enjoys similarly attractive views. Bedroom three provides useful flexibility as a single bedroom, nursery or home office and incorporates built-in storage. The shower room is fitted with a modern white suite and lastly there is also a separate WC positioned off the far end of the landing, particularly useful for a three-bedroom home.

Exterior - There are two generous gravelled driveways, providing excellent off-road parking for several vehicles – a valuable and relatively unusual commodity within a village setting such as Wetton. To the front is an attractive paved garden area enclosed in part by traditional dry-stone walling and complemented by raised beds and established planting. A dedicated BBQ and seating area creates a lovely spot for summer entertaining.
To the rear is a delightful lawn garden enjoying contrasting outlooks across the village and towards the open countryside beyond. It provides a peaceful place to sit and appreciate the property's enviable Peak District surroundings. Two useful external outbuildings provide further storage, currently arranged as a general store and wood store.
