Front Of House

This attractive gabled end-of-terrace redbrick house has parking for two cars on the front tarmac driveway. One space is under a car port, situated in front of a substantial garage.

Lounge (3.72 x 3.65 (12'2" x 11'11"))

From the entrance hallway, turn right into the bright and welcoming lounge. With a large double-glazed window flooding light in, this room really benefits from the high ceilings and attractive decor. Two feature walls contrast nicely with the neutral painted walls and there is a gas fire situated in the fireplace. The furniture showcases what can be easily fitted into this spacious room. There is a radiator and central light fitting too.

Kitchen-Diner (4.71 x 3.66 (15'5" x 12'0"))

In this house, the kitchen truly is the heart of the home. This is a fantastic room in which to gather as a family. Not only are there a huge number of low- and high-level cupboards, making this a cook's dream, but ample space also for a dining table and chairs. The kitchen features an oven with four-ring gas hob and extractor fan, plenty of worktop space, plumbing for a washing machine and a stainless steel 1.5 sink with chrome mixer tap and drainer overlooking the rear garden through the south-facing window.

Currently, the large 6-seater dining table showcases what is possible here, with plenty of space still available for additional appliances, the Baxi boiler and pantry/under-stairs cupboard. A half-glazed uPVC door leads out to the rear patio and garage.

Stairs To First Floor Landing

The carpeted stairs lead to the first floor landing, with doors off to both bedrooms and the family bathroom. All doors are attractive modern light-coloured tongue-and-groove cottage doors.

Bedroom One (4.71 x 3.4 (15'5" x 11'1"))

Bedroom One is a large double bedroom with wide recess offering even more space. The light floods in through the wide double-glazed north-facing window which, allied to the newly-painted walls, gives a fresh bright feel to the bedroom. That window offers views over the rooftops to the hills which skirt around Wirksworth. It's a beautiful sanctuary in a quiet location, offering the promise of peaceful sleep. The room is carpeted and has a radiator and light fitting.

There are floor-to-ceiling tiles around the bath and the remainder of the wall on that side of the room is tiled halfway up the wall. All other rooms are painted. The double-glazed window and light fitting make it a bright space and there is a tall floor-to-ceiling storage cupboard.

Garden

Accessed either by the side gate at the front of the property or via the back door, this elevated patio area is perfect for outdoor dining. There is plenty of space for a dining set and seating. A quirky feature is an additional space which currently houses a shed (not included in the sale). This gravelled area could be an additional cosy seating area. There is also a large window box planter affixed to the rear of the garage.

Garage (6 x 2.53 (19'8" x 8'3"))

This substantial garage is spacious enough to park a car in, but could easily be utilised as a workshop. There are double doors at the front and a separate side entrance door, with a large window at the rear. The garage has shelving currently, once again demonstrating how it can be utilised.
