3 Bedroom Mid-Terraced House, Hopping Hill, Milford, DE56
Hopping Hill, Milford, DE56
Sabel & Co
10 Ecclesbourne Meadows, Duffield
Description
A truly gorgeous stone-built terraced cottage forming part of a Grade II listed terrace in the heart of Milford village, sitting proudly within both the Belper and Milford Conservation Area and the Derwent Valley Mills UNESCO World Heritage Site. Under the same family ownership for decades, this characterful three-storey home is now ready for its next chapter and offers a wonderful opportunity for those looking to put their own stamp on a property with real bones.
Original features are in abundance throughout. The sitting room is a proper showstopper - exposed ceiling beams, a substantial stone fireplace surround housing a gas effect stove, and a deep stone windowsill that tells you everything you need to know about the age and quality of this building. The kitchen retains a fitted range with ample worktop space and provides access to the rear, where the real magic happens.
The terraced rear garden is genuinely something special. Rising up through multiple levels with established planting, mature trees and well-stocked borders, it rewards you at the top with sweeping rooftop views across the valley and the stunning Derbyshire hillside beyond. A timber shed and useful storage complete the upper tier.
Three bedrooms are arranged over the first and second floors, the upper rooms retaining exposed beams and low eaves that give them enormous charm. A shower room serves the property.
Milford itself is a fantastic location - the River Derwent, the King William freehouse and open countryside are all moments from the front door.A truly gorgeous stone-built terraced cottage forming part of a Grade II listed terrace in the heart of Milford village, sitting proudly within both the Belper and Milford Conservation Area and the Derwent Valley Mills UNESCO World Heritage Site.

A flagged foregarden sits behind a substantial stone boundary wall, accessed via stone steps up from the road. Planted with established shrubs and potted colour, it provides a charming approach to the front door.
Garden
The rear garden is a real highlight of this property and one that any keen gardener will absolutely love. Tiered and steeply terraced, it rises up behind the cottage through multiple levels, with a low-maintenance artificial lawn, richly planted borders, mature specimen trees including Japanese maple, and stone retaining walls that speak to the age of the plot. A timber shed sits on the upper tier, and from the top the views across the rooftops and out to the wooded hillside beyond are genuinely stunning. Please note the garden is accessed via a steep stone staircase and may not be suitable for those with limited mobility.
