3 bedroom detached house for sale

Enjoying the soft sounds of the River Derwent gently meandering by is this stunning stone built house which forms part of the historic Calver Mill, in a much sought after location. The vendors of Watermill House have not only loved the aspect and position of this property, but also thoroughly enjoyed the use of the highly versatile accommodation offered over four floors. To include all high quality lighting fixtures and new carpets and floor coverings throughout. Highlights of the accommodation include the living kitchen from which one can enjoy watching kingfishers, swans and wildlife descending on the riverbank, and the peace and serenity of the communal gardens adjoining farmland. A building is thought to have stood on this site from 1803 but in 2002 the house was completely rebuilt to a high specification by quality craftsmen using only the best materials. In addition there is a magnificent lounge, excellent en suite bedrooms, generous basement conversion, garaging and parking. Outside the riverside deck allows the occupants to simply relax and enjoy the serenity of Derbyshire life.
