House For Sale £300,000
Enjoying a convenient town location, standing to a row of three period homes, Flanders House has an interesting history with origins providing guest accommodation to Matlock’s well-heeled Hydro visitors. The property is truly distinctive in appearance, with particularly spacious rooms holding an air of elegance and proportion, all providing around 2200 sq ft of living space across three floors, with excellent space for entertaining and modern family lifestyles. Features include high corniced ceilings, fireplaces and shuttered windows (now double glazed) which allow excellent natural light and delightful views towards Riber Castle above the town.
The views are similarly enjoyed from the south facing tiered gardens, again surprisingly generous in size for such a town position and the added benefit of parking for two cars.

Nearby centres of employment include Bakewell, Chesterfield and Alfreton together with the cities of Sheffield, Derby and Nottingham. The town also offers a pay train service linking the national rail network whilst the delights of the Derbyshire Dales and Peak District countryside are all close at hand.
