Old North End Mill, situated in the picturesque town of Wirksworth in Derbyshire's Heart of England region, offers a modern holiday retreat for up to four guests. This fully renovated 18th-century mill building combines historical charm with contemporary comforts, featuring an electric vehicle (EV) charging station available for guest use at a cost. The property is conveniently located on a quiet lane, providing direct access to scenic footpaths leading into the hills, while being just a short walk from local amenities and attractions. Guests can enjoy discounts for stays of seven nights or more, making it an appealing option for longer visits.
The interior of the cottage is designed for relaxation and comfort, having been newly furnished and redecorated for the summer of 2019. The layout includes a small hallway that leads into a dining kitchen equipped with modern appliances, including granite worktops, a dishwasher, and a microwave, along with a dining table that seats four.

Upstairs, guests will find a spacious Master Bedroom furnished with a luxurious 6ft Super King size solid Oak bed, ensuring a restful night's sleep. Ample storage is available through a triple wardrobe and other furniture pieces.

Outside, the cottage features a private patio courtyard with seating for four, ideal for enjoying the fresh air. A significant advantage is the dedicated parking space right outside the property, which includes the EV charging point, with additional visitor parking typically available.
