A characterful Victorian cottage in a sought-after Peak District village could be the perfect home for someone looking to start life out in the country, having recently appeared on the property market.
The Mires, a semi-detached home sitting on half an acre of land in Birchover, a few miles west of Darley Dale, dates back to Victorian Britain and has been described as having “huge potential for extension or development” by estate agent Grant’s of Derbyshire.
It benefits from your usual double-glazing and central heating, and also retains some traditional features both inside and out.
The large garden will certainly be a big draw to any prospective buyer, as well as the distinctive and overgrown outbuilding to the rear, offering some quirkiness, as well as ample storage for garden tools and furniture.
The four-bedroom, one-bathroom home has three floors and includes an entrance porch, a sitting room, a dining kitchen, a pantry and a garden room.
A spokesperson for Grant’s said: “We are delighted to offer for sale this substantial, Victorian semi-detached home located in this sought-after village of Birchover.
“This home occupies a larger-than-average plot, extending to just under half an acre, and has huge potential for extension/further development.
“Birchover is a popular village located within the Peak District National Park.
“The village itself has two well-known public houses, The Druid Inn and The Red Lion, a Grade II-listed church (St Michael’s) and an active village community.
“This home is also located within the catchment for the Lady Manners School at Bakewell.
“The nearby market towns of Bakewell and Matlock offer an excellent range of amenities, including shops, restaurants and leisure facilities. This home has open views to the front and rear aspects and enjoys a peaceful environment.”
