Description

Enjoying an exceptional setting in the peaceful village of Cressbrook, adjoining the iconic Monsal Head and its historic viaduct, this spacious two double bedroom, two bathroom apartment is set within the heart of the Peak District National Park. Forming part of the superb Grade II Listed former Sir Richard Arkwright's Mill, the property overlooks the tranquil River Wye in the stunning landscape of Monsal Dale in a stunning location steeped in history

Dating back to 1787, this historically significant former cotton mill has been carefully converted, preserving many of its remarkable period features while offering all the ease and practicality of modern living. The light filled apartment enjoys fabulous views across the surrounding countryside. Cressbrook itself is a designated conservation area, well known for its outstanding natural beauty, a wealth of walking and cycling trails and its proximity to Bakewell, the Chatsworth Estate, and many other charming Peak District villages. It also lies within comfortable commuting distance of major commercial centres.

The apartment is accessed via a secure communal entrance with intercom, lift and stair access, leading to a private entrance lobby and hallway. A fitted kitchen with a range of units and integrated appliances opens into a generous dining room, while double doors lead through to a bright and spacious sitting room. The accommodation includes a main bathroom, two double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes, one of which has an en-suite shower room. The thoughtful layout, generous proportions, and serene setting make this apartment ideal as a permanent residence, weekend retreat, or investment.

Externally, residents benefit from immaculately maintained communal grounds, two allocated parking spaces, a bike store and a communal games room. With level lift access throughout, this is a rare opportunity to secure a unique riverside home in a truly breathtaking and historic corner of the Peak District.
