A separate sitting room features a period stone fireplace and an oak display cabinet whilst at first floor level, there are three bedrooms and the bathroom. There are the added benefits of uPVC double glazing and gas fired central heating. Outside, there is a paved and pebbled garden, landscaped for ease of maintenance. For car parking, the cottage is situated off The Square, which provides communal parking close by.

There are views across the valley to Riber Castle, and walks heading south can offer views towards Chatsworth in the distance.
