## Description

£425,000 - £450,000 Guide Price.

Occupying a commanding and elevated position in the heart of the popular Peak District village of Tideswell, this three-bedroom detached character property offers a rare blend of historic charm and versatile living space. Tideswell is a vibrant village, with its magnificent church and is renowned for its strong community spirit, local shops and convenient access to the breathtaking walking routes.

This delightful home is currently operated as a highly successful holiday let, presenting an excellent investment opportunity with contents available by separate negotiation, yet it is equally well-suited to serve as a wonderful permanent residence. The interior is brimming with period features, beginning with an entrance lobby that opens into a cozy dual-aspect sitting room, where a striking gritstone fireplace housing a log-burning stove creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. The adjacent dining room is also dual-aspect and boasts characterful exposed stonework alongside a second fireplace featuring a further log-burning stove. The functional heart of the home is a well-fitted kitchen, equipped with a range of units and integrated appliances, complemented by a classic Belfast sink and an adjoining utility room. Further enhancing the ground floor are a convenient shower room and a secondary entrance lobby that provides direct access to an attached store, a space that offers storage and potential for further development.

The first floor features a spacious landing that provides access to three bedrooms, including a well-proportioned double room, along with a family bathroom. Outside, the property is designed for ease of maintenance, featuring an attractive seating terrace to the rear that serves as a quiet spot to enjoy the elevated village setting.

Offered with no upward chain.
