This unique and characterful property, once a silk mill, has been beautifully transformed into a charming residential property. It occupies a central location, tucked away, yet at the very heart of the popular market town of Wirksworth. The home, retaining many original features, is extremely well presented throughout and finished to a high standard with quality fixtures and fittings. The accommodation itself, set over three storeys, comprises entrance hallway, large double bedroom, shower room and utility room on the ground floor and three bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor. The main living area is on the top floor, taking full advantage of the stunning rooftop views over the town and the surrounding countryside. To the front of the property is a flagged seating area. Silk Mill House is currently run as a very successful holiday let with consistently high occupancy rates and 5 star reviews and would continue to work equally well as a holiday let or a full time residence. We invite interested parties looking for an investment opportunity to enquire regarding the option to acquire the business. No Upward Chain. Viewing Highly Recommended.
