2 Bedroom Semi Detached House, Litton, Buxton, SK17

Occupying a prime position overlooking the historic village green, this 18th-century stone cottage is a beautiful slice of Peak District history. Once a part of Litton's industrious past in lead mining and weaving, the property has been sensitively restored into a refined two-bedroom home that feels both solid and incredibly welcoming. It’s perfectly placed for those who want the quiet of village life but still want to be within striking distance of Bakewell and the Monsal Trail.

Currentky occupied as a thriving Holiday Let business, the living spaces inside the cottage are defined by a seamless blend of 18th-century character and thoughtful, modern design. You enter through an ornate porch with original stone flooring into a sprawling, dual-aspect living room, where the ceiling beams and a magnificent stone fireplace create a grounding sense of history. This leads through to a quintessential country kitchen, complete with a focal Aga and a traditional stable door that opens onto the courtyard. Tucked away below is a surprisingly versatile split-level cellar, offering a clean utility zone on one side and a carpeted home office, snug or storage on the other. Upstairs, the theme of light and heritage continues across two spacious double bedrooms, the principal featuring bespoke timber shutters and the second overlooking the village green with its own decorative ornate cast-iron fireplace. The floor is completed by a sophisticated family bathroom that pairs a freestanding bath with a modern corner shower, all finished in a crisp, calming palette.

The garden courtyard is a private, low-maintenance sun trap enclosed by classic dry-stone walls. It’s a really pretty space with slate shingles and raised stone planters that’s been designed for easy alfresco living. With the blue stable door as a backdrop, it’s a lovely, quiet spot for a coffee or a glass of wine.

Litton is a proper community, and you’re just steps away from the local pub and the community-run shop. Whether you’re looking for a permanent move to the country or a high-end holiday let investment, this cottage is a rare chance to own a piece of the Peaks.
