Grindon, Leek

FOR SALE BY AUCTION 26/6/25

A stone-built, grade II listed, two-bedroom semi-detached cottage located in the village of Grindon, set within the heart of the Peak District. Positioned on a spacious plot with far-reaching countryside views, the property offers off-street parking and the rare opportunity to acquire a character cottage in a sought-after rural location. Requiring full refurbishment throughout, this is a property suited to buyers looking to modernise and adapt a home to their own taste and requirements.

The cottage provides a traditional layout with two bedrooms and generous outdoor space, presenting scope for improvement, extension or reconfiguration (subject to planning). Surrounded by open landscapes and situated in a well-regarded area popular with both residents and visitors, Grindy Croft offers significant potential for those seeking a project in a desirable setting.

You enter the property into the dining kitchen, which features quarry tile flooring and benefits from a dual aspect with windows to both the front and rear. A door leads through to the sitting room.

The sitting room continues the quarry tile flooring and also enjoys a dual aspect, creating a light and airy feel. A staircase rises to the first floor, with a useful understairs storage cupboard beneath. An open fireplace serves as the central feature of the room.

Upstairs, the first floor landing provides access to both bedrooms and the bathroom.

The principal bedroom is a generous double, with a dual aspect including a front-facing window and a rear roof window, along with an airing cupboard. The second bedroom is a well-proportioned single.

Undoubtedly one of the main selling features of the property is the spacious plot, being mainly laid lawn, whilst also enjoying the stunning countryside views of the surrounding area.
