About this property

40 Water Lane is a charming cottage situated in the heart of Cromford, Derbyshire.

As you step through the door, you’re welcomed straight into the living and dining room, where the original beams overhead give the space a timeless character. A gas stove stands at its heart, while a sofa, armchair, and TV create a homely setting for gathering after a day out. Just off this space lies the well-equipped kitchen, thoughtfully arranged for preparing home-cooked dishes with ease.
