Eight The Green

Eight The Green is a charming 200-year-old stone cottage, thoughtfully updated to a high standard. Located at the upper end of Middleton by Wirksworth, it overlooks the village green and rolling hills beyond. Just a short walk from The Nelson Arms pub, a well-serviced bus stop and the panoramic views of Middleton Moor, the cottage is a perfect escape for two, offering a cosy retreat after a day exploring the Derbyshire Dales.

The accommodation is spread over two floors: the living room and kitchen are on the ground floor, while the bedroom and bathroom are upstairs. Outside, the front garden and private rear courtyard provide peaceful spots to sit and enjoy the sun throughout the day.

Gas central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are all included. The kitchen is stocked with everyday essentials and a handy welcome pack to help you settle in.

Please note:

This is an adults-only property (no children or pets) and is non-smoking.

While the rooms are generously proportioned, there are a few low ceilings in the connecting corridors and on the stairs - guests are advised to follow the 'mind your head' signs. The stairs are steep but carpeted and have a secure handrail.

After leaving your outdoor gear in the porch, you’ll enter a comfortable living room featuring a wood-burning stove, a dining table, armchair, footstool, and a sofa handmade in Derbyshire. The 37” television with Roku Streambar offers streaming services via fast fibre broadband. The refurbished kitchen boasts oak worktops, an induction hob, electric fan oven, microwave, separate fridge and freezer, and an integrated washing machine. In warmer months, head outside to the sheltered sunny courtyard to relax, top up your tan, or enjoy al fresco dining.

Upstairs, the well-proportioned bedroom features two windows offering views of the surrounding village, with Black Rocks, Bolehill, and Alport Heights beyond. A king-size, metal-framed bed with a hybrid mattress ensures a restful night’s sleep. There’s plenty of storage with a hanging rail and chest of drawers. The spacious bathroom offers a relaxing space to unwind, with a full-sized bath and thermostatic shower overhead, as well as underfloor heating for added comfort.

To the front of the cottage, there’s a bench where you can sit and watch village life unfold. A lockable outhouse opposite provides secure storage for bikes if needed. While there is no dedicated parking space at the property, ample free parking is available around The Green and in the public car park beside The Nelson Arms. You can also pull up outside the cottage for luggage drop-off and pick-up.

For those using public transport, Cromford rail station is less than 3 miles (10 minutes) away, with taxis or buses to Middleton by Wirksworth. The bus stop on The Green is regularly served by Trent Barton's The Sixes service, which runs from Derby to Matlock/Bakewell, stopping at several local towns and villages along the way.
