The Location - Gorsey Bank is a delightful hamlet of character homes located just on the outskirts of Wirksworth. Many of the homes were built for the employees of Providence Mill, once a hive of industry where narrow red tape to bind legal documents was produced. Much like the Puzzle Gardens of Wirksworth, Gorsey Bank has a web of paths and walkways leading in and around this historic site. Gorsey Bank is just a ten minute walk to the centre of Wirksworth where there is a full range of amenities including restaurants, bars, boutique cinema, shops and chemists etc.

Ground Floor - The property is entered via the ornate wrought iron front gate which leads into the paved foregarden and the newly installed and 'Accoya' split stable, double glazed and insulated door with pewter door furniture opens into the

Living Room - 3.60m x 3.42m (11'9" x 11'2" ) - This is a good sized reception room with a panelled sash window to the front aspect as well as a smaller window to the side. The focal point is the substantial fireplace which houses the multi-fuel burner upon the raised stone hearth. There is a built-in bookcase in the recess to the right of the fireplace and a narrow storage cupboard with a recently installed consumer unit at a high level. A brand new Victorian-style radiator and oak internal door have just been installed. To the rear of the room, a door opens to the staircase, with brand new carpet,. which leads up to the first floor and to the side is an opening providing access to the

Kitchen - 2.57m x 1.33m (8'5" x 4'4" ) - Recently retiled with attractive wall and floor tiling and completely refitted with a traditional range of handmade base units with a recessed ceramic sink with mixer tap over and an integrated induction hob with electric oven below. There is an undercounter fridge with freezer compartment included in the sale. There are recesses providing good storage and the wood panelled walls have shelving for food items and display purposes. There is a multi-paned sash window to the front aspect.

First Floor - On arrival at the first floor landing we find a large access to the loft with drop down ladder. The loft has been fully boarded and insulated to modern standards and has light, overall providing a good space for household storage.

Shower Room - 1.45m x 1.42m (4'9" x 4'7" ) - Stylishly tiled and warmed by underfloor heating, this room has been completely refurbished and now has a large walk-in shower enclosure with full height glass screen and Victorian-style thermostatic shower fittings over. There is a corner low flush WC and a multi-paned sash window to the front aspect. Heated towel rail.

Bedroom - 3.59m x 3.42m (11'9" x 11'2" ) - A spacious double bedroom, recently redecorated and recarpeted having a sash window to the front providing superb views over the rooftops towards Wirksworth itself and the countryside beyond. There is a smaller window to one side also providing a very pleasant outlook. A built-in cupboard houses the wall mounted 'Ideal' combination boiler which services the hot water and heating and adjacent to this is a wash hand basin set within a tiled vanity unit with storage compartment beneath. There is also a built-in wardrobe with cupboard above providing hanging space and storage.

Outside - At the front of the property there is a fully enclosed paved foregarden with an external store which is ideal for the storage of wood or bikes etc. The pathway leads around to the right hand side of the house where there is a paved seating area and then stone steps leading up to a landscaped (in progress) elevated garden which has raised Oak sleepers for planting and a Victorian brick laid patio area, ideal for warm weather dining and to sit and enjoy those far-reaching views. This area enjoys a good level of sunlight throughout the day.

Parking - Just opposite the property is a good sized parking space which is a rarity in Wirksworth! This space can accommodate up to two cars. NOTE: The red and white barriers relate to work being carried out at the neighbouring property and will be removed shortly.

Directional Notes - From our office in Wirksworth Market Place, proceed down St John Street in the direction of Derby and shortly before reaching the mini-roundabout turn left into Water Lane. Proceed along Water Lane and over the railway crossing at which point the road becomes Gorsey Bank. Continue along Gorsey Bank until reaching the Roman Catholic Church on the right hand side and we would recommend parking near here. Walk up the road on the left just after Providence Mill and 'Walter's Cottage" will be found after a short distance on the right hand side, as identified by our For Sale sign.

Council Tax Information - We are informed by Derbyshire Dales District Council that this home falls within Council Tax Band B which is currently £1730 per annum.

Notes Regarding The Energy Performance Certificate - Please note that since the current EPC has been carried out (2021) there have been a number of energy saving improvements including; a new double glazed and insulated front door, increased insulation in the loft and low energy lighting.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
