A fine three storey 18th century Georgian building, with
oak beamed ceilings, Derwent House has been lovingly refurbished,
whilst maintaining the historical ambience of this Grade II
listed property built in coursed gritstone, with a 1753 date

The middle section of the house is believed to date from the
17th century, whilst the rear was built during the Victorian
period. The double-fronted bay windows were also added around
this time. The property boasts beamed ceilings, original fireplaces
and quarry tile floors.
