2 bedroom terraced house for sale

This historic, upgraded home is overflowing with attractive features. Occupying an elevated position and having outstanding panoramic south-facing views over Cromford and up to Black Rocks, the home includes high quality upgrades to the kitchen, bathroom and roof, a stunning garden and has been recently redecorated throughout, with new plastered walls in several rooms. There is no upward chain and the home is priced for a quick sale and is ready to move straight into.

Mount Pleasant sits above the famous Scarthin road and bookshop - and overlooks the UNESCO World Heritage Site village of Cromford. The village rooftops and millpond in the foreground give way to the stunning wooded hillsides leading up to Black Rocks and the High Peak Trail.

This is the largest home on Mount Pleasant, thanks to being built over the wide alleyway beneath - giving this home an extra first floor room and larger second floor bedroom and storage area. On the ground floor is a spacious sitting room, quality kitchen, a utility cave(!) and plenty of space for dry storage in the arched stone alleyway. To the first floor is a large double bedroom, a versatile study/dressing room and freshly decorated bathroom. On the second floor is another bedroom and large eaves storage space. The views from all rooms at the front are fantastic, whilst the windows to the rear look out to the cliffside and over the ridge to the adjacent woodland.

Cromford itself is packed with tourist facilities aplenty (the historic mills, canal, pubs, restaurants and shops) and walking and cycling routes head off in all directions. Matlock Bath, Matlock, Bakewell and Buxton are all within easy reach, as is the High Peak Trail, Chatsworth House and the many delights of the Peak District.

Front Of The Home - Located amongst the pretty, elevated row of terraced houses on Mount Pleasant, this home is accessed up a gently curving path from opposite the Boat Inn pub on Scarthin. An alleyway runs to the left-hand side of the home, with the larger first and second floors built directly above. This alleyway offers plenty of dry storage space. Ten stone steps lead up from here to a decorative wrought iron gate and railings in front of the home. From here and the front garden, you have arguably the best views in Cromford, looking down over the rooftops to the millpond and across towards Sheep's Pasture and Black Rocks on the High Peak Trail. Enter the home through a solid timber stable door with a double-glazed top half, letting light flood into the sitting room.

Sitting Room - 3.68 x 3.57 (12'0" x 11'8") - This is a beautiful room inside and has wonderful views through the south-facing sash windows and stable door too. The spacious room has a high ceiling and has been freshly redecorated. Under the expertly relaid quarry tiles is underfloor heating and substantial insulation. This is a well-insulated, warm room and the Pioneer mutlifuel burner distributes heat around the home very efficiently too. This stove has a flue and sits upon a stone hearth within a large stone fireplace, which has a delightfully quirky chimney sweep hatch that we love!

To the right of the high quality double-glazed sash windows is a restored full-height pine cupboard with shelving. The room has pine skirting boards, a ceiling light fitting and if you wished to reinstate the radiator (you probably don't need to given the underfloor heating and multifuel burner!), the original pipework is available within that pine cupboard.

A beveled pine door leads into the kitchen.

Kitchen - 3.6 x 2.45 (11'9" x 8'0") - With bespoke solid wooden cabinets, terracotta floor tiles and granite worktops, this well-designed kitchen has a high quality feel.

Above are a couple of wall-mounted cabinets and in the former fireplace at the far end is a neat fitted cabinet incorporating a wine rack and drawers. To the right is a granite worktop with integral ceramic Belfast sink with heritage-style chrome mixer tap, sat beneath a window looking out to what we've termed a utility cave! The window has a deep sill, useful for storage/display and exposed beams above. An integrated dishwasher is also included.

Under the stairs is a bespoke storage unit that is included in the sale, together with space for a full height fridge-freezer. The kitchen has a beamed ceiling with light fitting and recessed spotlights. A part-glazed door leads through to the utility room and there is an open entrance to the carpeted stairs leading up to the first and second floors.

Utility Cave - 3.85 x 1.95 (12'7" x 6'4") - Accessed from the kitchen and via the alleyway, the sheer rock face of the cliff wall has been limewashed and - with the addition of a timber and twin wall polycarbonate roof - this is a highly useful dry storage space. There is power and plumbing for a washing machine, an outside tap and plenty of room for additional storage.

Bedroom One - 3.65 x 3.6 (11'11" x 11'9") - This spacious double bedroom has the best views in the house! The amazing south-facing panoramic vista is an inspirational view to wake up to.

Study/Dressing Room - 5.3 x 2.45 (17'4" x 8'0") - This versatile room could be a home office, dressing room, play room and occasional guest room. The high ceiling includes a ceiling light fitting and the room has a pine floorboards, radiator and picture book uPVC window looking out to the bank and woodland.

Doors lead into the family bathroom and also to stairs leading up to the second floor bedroom.

Bathroom - 3.95 x 1.7 (12'11" x 5'6") - Newly plastered and repainted, this roomy bathroom has stunning views through the square sash window over the village.

Bedroom Two - 4 x 3.6 (13'1" x 11'9") - Carpeted stairs lead up from the study to this top floor bedroom. A double bed can fit neatly into the wide bay or you may choose to have this as a roomy single bedroom. There are more elevated views here to the cliffside and, from here, you can see over the ridge to the woodland beyond, in the direction of Matlock Bath. The room is carpeted and has a radiator, ceiling light fitting and - thanks to it previously being used as a two person office space, there are plenty of power points on all walls. There is a very wide eaves storage space and a cute little door leads round to a huge eaves storage space which is tall enough for adults to stand up in. This is a dry carpeted area with lighting.

Garden - What a setting! There are incredible views in all directions from this special, elevated garden to cliffs, hills, up to Black Rocks and over the village rooftops and millpond to the wooded hillsides beyond. From the front door, head left and through a timber gate onto a brick-paved entrance. The lawn curves gently around several flower beds, with a dry stone wall forming the right-hand boundary. The cliff face on the left has a rich, diverse range of flowers, bushes and trees including a Venetian smoke tree and Jersualem sage tree. The patio area is perfect for relaxed seating or dining, from where you can drink in the magnificent views. At the far end of the garden is a shed, raised vegetable garden, compost and storage areas. It's a truly magical and uplifting space in which to potter and relax with friends and family.
