This attractive stone built former farmhouse stands amongst more modern residential homes within this highly regarded cul-de-sac. Character and charm with adaptations and improvements to meet modern lifestyles, the main house includes a farmhouse style dining kitchen, two reception rooms, traditional pantry and utility areas on the ground floor, whilst at first floor level there are four bedrooms each of double proportion and three with ensuite facilities. Adjoining the house at the rear outbuildings have been converted to provide a one bedroom self contained annexe with additional outbuildings providing useful storage and workshop facilities. Gardens lie to the front and rear with fine views reaching across the rooftops of the village and to the surrounding Derwent Valley Hills.

Barnwell Lane stands part way up The Hill from Cromford’s vibrant village centre which offers a number of local shops and facilities and a well respected primary school. There is ready access to the surrounding Derbyshire Dales countryside with walks from the doorstep taking you to the High Peak Trail and Black Rocks. The historic market towns of Wirksworth (1 mile) and Matlock (3 miles) both offer a larger selection of shops, restaurants and facilities.
