School Lane, Parwich

The property is a detached stone cottage believed to date back to circa 1686, positioned in the heart of the old part of this highly sought after Peak District village. Set on flat ground within the village and within easy walking distance to the village school, pub, and local walks. The property offers three bedrooms and two reception rooms. One of the main selling features of the cottage is the beautifully presented south-facing garden and is offered with no upward chain. With full fibre broadband available, the property also suits those seeking to work from home while enjoying a rural lifestyle.

Externally, the property includes two adjoining outbuildings. A two-storey former stable block offers excellent storage or workshop space, while a two-storey former bakery, also known as the boiler house, retains quarry tile flooring and features a chimney and loft above. These offer potential to extend to further living accommodation if desired (subject to necessary planning consents). The property presents a rare chance to acquire a charming cottage in a highly desirable village in the Peak District.

Parwich is a picturesque and peaceful village in the Peak District, known for its strong community spirit and wide range of local activities. Recognised by *The Sunday Times* as one of the best places to live in England, the village offers a rare blend of rural charm and social vibrancy. With no major through traffic and the nearest main road over 1.4 miles away, it enjoys a quiet setting surrounded by scenic countryside and walking routes. Local amenities include a well-regarded pub with a shop, village hall, Royal British Legion club, and a variety of clubs and societies-from horticulture and history, to cricket, tennis, and keep fit. Parwich also has a primary school with a good Ofsted rating, a church, and a dedicated team of First Responders. Despite its tranquil setting, the village remains within commutable distance of Derby, Nottingham, Sheffield, and Manchester, and is located around 7 miles north of Ashbourne, with Buxton around 15 miles away & Matlock and Bakewell within 12 miles.

The dining room benefits from dual aspect windows to the front and rear, a staircase rising to the first floor, and a second multi-fuel burner, also set on a Delabole slate tiled hearth with oak beam mantle piece above. An oak framed doorway, thought to be a part of the cottage when originally built in the 17C leads from the dining room into the kitchen.

The kitchen is fitted with rolled edge preparation surfaces, an inset stainless-steel sink with drainer, tiled splashbacks, and a range of base cupboards and drawers. There is appliance space and plumbing for a washing machine and fridge, along with an integrated electric oven and warming tray, and a four-ring LPG gas hob.
