6 Bedrooms Detached house for sale in Winster Lane, Birchover, Matlock DE4 | £ 375,000

Property Description

We are delighted to offer this superb opportunity to purchase this character conversion which is currently let as two holiday cottages. The Old Chapel is found in a picturesque location in the heart of Birchover, a pretty and popular Peak District village. The Old Chapel was originally constructed in 1867 and extended in 1925 from locally quarried gritstone, and following deconsecration, was sympathetically converted into two almost equal sized cottages 20 years ago. Since then, the cottages have undergone further, considerable refurbishment. Each property has three bedrooms, two bath/shower rooms, a first floor dining kitchen and living room. The bathrooms and kitchens were completely replaced during January 2013. Each cottage is currently entirely independent; however, there is the potential for a connecting door at first floor level (subject to building and planning regulations).

Nine Ladies

Located to the left side of the building, the entrance being in a side porch providing an excellent coir floored boot room with hanging space. There is space and plumbing for a washing machine and the Glow Worm boiler is also located here. A further door gives access to the private seating area for the cottage.

Ground Floor Accommodation

Two, fully glazed doors lead to spacious hallway. A door to the left leads to the very well proportioned double bedroom which also benefits from an ensuite with shower cubicle, basin and WC. As with all the bedrooms there is a clothes hanging area. Two further twin bedrooms all with natural light are located on the ground floor along with another bathroom, with a bath, shower cubicle, WC and basin.

Kitchen & Dining Area

A carpeted staircase leads up to a light and airy open plan living area. The ceiling is vaulted with two conservation skylights, with dramatically arched cross beams painted cream. All of the upstairs space has cream, painted floor boards, ensuring a light contemporary feel not to mention a very practical solution to holiday home traffic! The staircase bisects the area, and to the left is a good sized dining/study area, and kitchen with space for fridge and dishwasher. Lighting is via a range of wire system spots. The excellent, white, contemporary kitchen was replaced in January 2013.
