The Location
Wash Green is a short distance from the centre of Wirksworth, known for its historic connection to the lead mining industry. This home is set back from the road and enjoys a private position.
A Brief History
Whilst we haven't been able to identify the accurate age of this home, we do believe it to be in excess of 200 years old. It's character and style mirrors very few properties in the town. The vendors have been told that the house was built by a Dutchman who came over to work as a manager in one of the Via Gellia Mills however, we have been unable to confirm this.
The current owners have carried out an extensive programme of refurbishment during their tenure including; a full roof overhaul, replacement of leadwork, new cast iron rainwater goods, new gas boiler, updated electrical system, new double glazed, conservation approved windows (with thin double glazing so the window glazing bars are slim and in keeping), and all stonework cleaned. The house has also been completely re-rendered using a breathable waterproof through-colour render. The kitchen and bathroom have also been refurbished.
