The Location
Located just off the centre of Cromford, which is a popular local centre with shops, cafes, pubs and a sought after primary school. Nearby towns such as Wirksworth, Matlock and Ashbourne offer further facilities and the city of Derby is just half an hour away by car. Cromford has a railway station and is well connected to the main road network by the A6. The village is part of a Unesco World Heritage Site set in the rolling countryside of Derbyshire Dales and is close to the Peak District National Park as well as Carsington Water which offers water sports and wildlife activities. There are lovely walks from the doorstep here too, with a network of footpaths linking up with the nearby High Peak Trail.

Sitting Room (3.52 x 3.49 (11'6" x 11'5"))

Integrated appliances include an electric oven and an induction hob with a curved glass extractor hood over. A cottage door opens to reveal the understairs pantry which has wall mounted shelving providing useful storage for foodstuffs etc.

The occupants of number 9 have a right of access along the back of the gardens of the neighbouring properties.
