Annexe
Once a dairy for the farm, the charming cottage provides multiple options for use, as home office, dependant relative or guest accommodation. The original features have all been retained, including the external railed staircase, beams, fireplace opening and oak mantle. There is a beautiful walled orchard that the property sits proudly within opening up superb views of the Derbyshire countryside. With the vast array of potential further uses and possible extension (subject to the relevant planning permissions) this little cottage is a true gem.
