House For Sale £219,995
Grant's of Derbyshire are delighted to offer For Sale this three bedroomed terraced property close to the centre of the increasingly popular town of Wirksworth. Torr's Cottage, dating back to the 18th century, retains many interesting original features including beams and feature fireplaces and the accommodation arranged over three floors includes sitting room, fitted kitchen, bathroom and three bedrooms. To the rear of the property is an unusual outdoor 'grotto' and a pretty spiral staircase to a decked seating area. It is the request of the current owners that this home be sold as a primary residence only. Viewing highly recommended.
Location
Wirksworth offers a good variety of shops, restaurants, pubs and cafes, and a lively arts and social scene including the famous Arts Festival. There are medical facilities and good schools nearby, and excellent transport links including regular bus services, trains from nearby Cromford, and you can even catch a steam train to Duffield on the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway on special occasions! The Derbyshire Dales offer beautiful countryside walks and cycle rides, and nearby Carsington Water has water sports, walks and wildlife. A short drive takes you to the Peak District National Park.
Set in the heart of Wirksworth's conservation area but tucked away from the bustling main street, North End has a history all of its own. Originally the town's main thoroughfare and a manufacturing centre for red tape, it is now a mainly residential street with beautiful period homes, the independent Northern Light Cinema and a charming low key pub, the Royal Oak. Walk a short distance along Coldwell Street, past the monument and old Baptist Church, and you are in the town centre with all the amenities that it has to offer.
Ground Floor
The property is entered via the wooden entrance door which opens directly into the
Sitting Room (3.96m x 3.30m (12'11" x 10'9"))

The inset sink with swan neck mixer tap is located beneath the window to the rear aspect and opposite this is the freestanding cooker with tiled splashback and an extractor hood over. Beneath the sink is an integrated fridge/freezer and beneath the staircase there is space and plumbing for a washing machine. The exposed stone to the rear wall adds to the character of the room. A part glazed door leads out to the exterior and stairs lead up to the first floor. The stairs have also been replaced by the current owners in oak by a local craftsman, retaining the original central support.
