The single storey building is stone built beneath a slated roof, partly hidden behind a distinctive parapet front elevation, which rises above a traditional double fronted shop window. Character features and fixtures of the former retail area are intact, and the property as a whole offers opportunity for updating. There is also potential to further extend or perhaps to develop to accommodate a larger family home. The property stands with a good sized garden, ample forecourt parking and a good parcel of amenity grazing land to one side.

“Country Store” stands at the heart of the village, opposite the characterful former railway cottages which line Chatsworth Road, being a principal access through the neighbouring village of Beeley and into the inspiring Chatsworth Estate. Rowsley lies within the Derwent Valley and on the fringe of the Peak District National Park where there is ready access to the recreational delights of the surrounding countryside. The larger market towns of Bakewell (3 miles), Matlock (5 miles), Chesterfield (10 miles) are easily accessible by road.
