Property Description
Presenting a truly rare opportunity, this detached stone built character cottage stands tucked away on the outskirts of Crich with views across neighbouring countryside and with the benefit of a substantial garden plot believed to extend to around .8 of an acre. The existing property has been well maintained over the years and includes two bedroomed accommodation with single storey extensions and opportunity for further extension subject to the necessary planning consents and approvals. Complementing the cottage is a large drive, detached double garage and extensive gardens which have been tended over the years to suit the current owner’s enjoyment and with options available to the keen gardener, livestock keeper and family recreation.
Set well back from the main thoroughfare to a no-through lane, the property is conveniently placed to explore the delights of the neighbouring Derbyshire Dales and Amber Valley countryside. There is also ready access to the wide range of local shops and amenities available within the village including respected primary schooling, doctor’s surgery and a variety of shops. The local road network provides good commuter links to the neighbouring townships of Matlock, Belper, Alfreton and Chesterfield with the cities of Sheffield, Derby and Nottingham all within daily commuting distance and further afield via the A38 and M1 corridor.

There is a stainless steel splash back and extractor hood above the hob, eye level built in electric oven and combination microwave/grill.

Outside
Stand View offers the rare advantage of substantial gardens and grounds which present a variety of opportunities. Immediately adjacent to the cottage, a gated drive provides hardstanding for several vehicles, with raised fishpond to one side and with access to a detached stone built:
Double Garage – 4.6m x 5.55m (15’ 2” x 18’ 3”) with twin up-and-over doors, electric, power and light. There are two windows to the side and storage potential within the lofted roof.
To the side of the garage there is hardstanding for timber sheds whilst, at the rear, is a lean-to block built lock-up store.
The more formal area of garden lies closest to the house and is laid to lawn set within walled and evergreen hedging. A row of raised beds provides opportunity for flower setting and other planting.
The rare advantage of Stand View is undoubtedly the additional, sizeable area of garden, currently informally landscaped, laid to grass and including fishpond, vegetable plots and a number of specimen trees. The whole area offers ample opportunity for family recreation or further landscaping and potentially livestock keeping.
A separate wooden gate provides vehicular access directly into the lower land off the drive.
Access to Stand View is via a private drive which leads from Cromford Road.
Note: There are presently arrangements for some neighbouring cottages to allow cars to park along the drive although it is expected the sale will move ahead with such rights rescinded and full vacant possession offered. A right of way is enjoyed for the neighbouring farmer to access the adjoining fields along with a public footpath.
