A delightful, three bedroomed detached former miner’s cottage, beautifully positioned on the edge of the historic village of Eyam, benefitting from a private nature reserve, extensive off road parking with double garage and charming cottage garden. Occupying a spectacular location between Eyam Edge and the pretty village of Foolow, this lovely cottage has versatile accommodation arranged over two floors and requires cosmetic updating in parts. The adjoining nature reserve, on the former site of Dusty Pit mine, extends to around 1.2 acres and includes over 50 species of interest including orchids, flower-rich grasslands, sedges and rushes.

The front door opens to a porch which in turn leads to the entrance hall with access to all ground floor accommodation and stairs rising to the first floor landing. The kitchen features a range of units surmounted by extensive work top space incorporating stainless steel sink and drainer, breakfast bar and large walk in pantry. The kitchen enjoys a pleasant dual aspect and requires modernisation throughout.

At the heart of the property is the dining room with a delightful garden aspect and pleasant views across the cottage garden and nature reserve. The principle reception room is a large double aspect room with open fireplace and large window overlooking the garden with Eyam Edge as it’s backdrop. Accessed from the sitting room is a further entrance porch and access to a ground floor cloakroom/WC.

Stairs rise to the first floor landing with access to all rooms. A landing with rear facing window provides superb natural light. Bedroom one lies at the centre of the house with delightful garden aspect and adjoining room ideal for walk in wardrobe or home office. Bedroom two lies at the end of the hallway and is a large double bedroom with pleasant garden aspect. Bedroom three is a further double bedroom which also overlooks the garden. The family bathroom completes the accommodation and comprises low flush WC, bath with Mira shower over, wash basin and bidet.

Outside, Echo Gate benefits from extensive off-road parking to the south east of the property and via a gated driveway, is also approached from the north east. The private driveway provides further parking and leads to a double garage, with boiler room, adjoining the property. Fronting the house is a beautifully maintained cottage garden with well stocked borders and level lawn. The well-established garden extends to around half an acre and is framed by mature trees including a small copse to the side of the driveway.

A nature reserve to the north east of the property extends to around 1.2 acres on the site of Dusty Pit mine, a former lead mine. The mining history of this site (which contains a dis-used mine shaft), has created soil conditions for flower-rich grasslands and scattered scrub with over 50 species of interest including many orchids, rushes, sedges and herbs.
