This detached three-bedroom cottage is set on a substantial plot of approximately 0.18 acres, providing ample outdoor space and potential for further development or landscaping to enhance its appeal. The property retains much of its original character from the pre-1850s era, with later extensions that effectively doubled its size while maintaining the use of local stone. Inside, the layout boasts two reception rooms and three double bedrooms, offering flexibility for reconfiguration or modernization to suit contemporary living standards. The dual-aspect sitting room and dining area with original quarry tile floors are features that can be retained or updated according to personal taste. With scenic views over the River Dove and proximity to a plethora of walking trails and local amenities, including country pubs and shops located just a short drive away in Ashbourne, this cottage not only provides a serene retreat but also significant investment potential due to its desirable location. Outside, there is off-street parking available alongside a generous garden space that wraps around the property. This area offers room for enhancement through landscaping or potential outbuildings, making this an attractive choice for buyers seeking outdoor space in a tranquil rural environment. With no upward chain, Doveside Cottage stands as a promising prospect for those eager to create their ideal home in this picturesque village.
