Cottage for sale in Digmire Lane, Thorpe DE6

A charming detached limestone character cottage occupying a quiet position within this highly sought after Peak District village enjoying delightful views towards Thorpe Cloud and Dovedale.

The property offers beautifully presented and flexible accommodation retaining many original characteristics and features comprising three/four bedrooms and three bathrooms. There is an attractive low maintenance garden with raised flower beds and pleasant seating areas offering a good degree of privacy along with three useful outside stores. Driveways to each side of the property provide hardstanding for two cars.

For many years the property was occupied as two independent cottages, however, in more recent times it has been sympathetically extended, upgraded and adapted to form a single high quality dwelling perfectly suited to the requirements of modern day living.

The cottage is cleverly designed to readily re-split into two individual residences if required, for example to accommodate a dependent family member or to enable one of the cottages to be used as a holiday let or for bed and breakfast purposes.
