Wayside Cottage is a cosy country cottage on the banks of the River Trent in the historic village of Swarkestone in South Derbyshire. Swarkestone is famous as the turning point of Bonnie Prince Charlie in 1745 and also as the location for a photoshoot for the cover of the Rolling Stones album Beggar’s Banquet.
The cottage dates back to the 18th Century, there are 2 bedrooms, the main double on the first floor and a loft bedroom with 2 single beds. Both have delightful views over the River Trent and the ancient Grade 1 listed Swarkestone causeway. The comfortable lounge leads on to the fully fitted kitchen and small dining area. The large bathroom with electric shower is on the first floor.
The cottage is centrally heated and there is a log burner effect electric fire in the lounge. The kitchen is fully equipped with a dual fuel range cooker, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave and washing machine.
Outside there is a small courtyard garden to the front of the cottage – perfect for watching the sun go down over the river with a glass of wine.
Parking is available for one car immediately in front of the cottage and further parking can be found just a step away on the river bank or next to the beautiful and historic St James’ church.
Just along the river bank the local pub serves food, the garden centre has an excellent cafe and the petrol station sells a few basic groceries – all within easy walking distance. Chellaston village is only a couple of miles away with an Aldi, Lidl, Co-op, Tesco local, takeaways and several other pubs serving food.
Swarkestone is within easy reach of many interesting attractions such as National Trust properties Calke Abbey and Sudbury Hall, Alton Towers, Donington Park racetrack, Denby Pottery, Elvaston Castle Country Park, Royal Crown Derby, Chatsworth House, and for walkers the Peak District and Charnwood Forest. There are several lovely local walks along the River Trent or the nearby Trent & Mersey canal. Regular bus services run from the village into Derby. The busy small town/large village of Melbourne is just a short drive away and is blessed with many cafes, restaurants and independent shops. Melbourne Hall and Gardens are well worth a visit.
Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the size and potential of this property.
