1 bedroom house for sale

This entry-level starter home has no upward chain and offers the opportunity to upgrade and add value. Wirksworth has been named by The Sunday Times as the best place to live in Derbyshire and this home is located right in the centre of town. Set back in a little courtyard off historic Greenhill, the home has a kitchen, lounge-diner and shower room on the ground floor. To the first floor is a large double bedroom with views south-east over rooftops towards the Ecclesbourne Valley.

It also has the potential to be a great holiday home.

The home is in the heart of the thriving centre of Wirksworth, with independent retailers, cafes, bars and cultural offerings. The primary, junior and secondary schools are within a 10 minute walk, as is Wirksworth Leisure Centre and Hannage Brook medical centre. Countryside walks and cycle rides are easily accessible too, including the High Peak Trail, which runs across the top of the town.

Slightly further afield is Carsington Water and the bustling market towns of Belper, Matlock, Bakewell, Buxton and Ashbourne, plus the beautiful Derbyshire Dales, Peak District and Chatsworth House.
