4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Pilhough Rowsley Matlock, Derbyshire Dales DE4

A beautifully reimagined four-bedroom cottage dating back to 1540, perfectly blending heritage charm with modern craftsmanship, set within an exclusive hamlet with stunning gardens and panoramic Peak District views.

The Home

Steeped in history yet styled for modern living, Swallows End is a home of rare distinction. The original stone cottage, believed to date back to circa 1540, began life as a modest two-bedroom dwelling. Around 1710, the property was sympathetically extended, and more recently, the owners purchased and seamlessly integrated the lower half of the adjoining building, creating a spacious four-bedroom home of exceptional versatility.

The adjoining section, held under a separate title, now forms two ground-floor bedrooms and a luxury shower room. This area could easily revert to a two-bedroom self-contained annexe or holiday let, offering independent living with its own private entrance - in essence, a one or two-bedroom bungalow perfectly suited for guests, multi-generational living, or short-term stays.

Every aspect of this property has been thoughtfully renovated to the highest standard, preserving its historic soul while introducing refined modern comforts. Works include new double-glazed windows, a modern central heating system, complete redecoration, and bespoke joinery throughout.

A recently extended section now houses a full utility room, which could double as a further kitchen if required, adding valuable flexibility to the layout.

The kitchen has been meticulously designed, combining handcrafted cabinetry, high-end appliances, and solid worktops to create a warm yet sophisticated heart of the home. The living spaces are characterful and charming, with stone and oak detailing, exposed beams, and windows framing mesmerising countryside views.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom features an elegant en-suite bathroom, a fourth bedroom with an additional WC, while the ground floor offers a luxurious full shower room between the two ground floor bedrooms and a third contemporary shower room off the living space. Each space showcases exceptional craftsmanship and thoughtful design.

The Outdoors

Situated within a private hamlet of just four properties, amongst just 12 in the locality, Swallows End enjoys a tranquil and prestigious setting. A shared driveway leads to ample parking, and the gardens-beautifully landscaped and carefully maintained-provide a series of terraces and sitting areas to enjoy the sun throughout the day.

From every window and garden corner, the views are simply extraordinary-vast, unbroken panoramas of the Derbyshire Dales stretch across the horizon. This is a home that invites stillness and admiration, with ever-changing light and seasonal beauty that truly capture the essence of rural Derbyshire living.
