House For Sale £440,000
Standing in a well regarded location around ½ a mile from Matlock’s town centre facilties and well placed for All Saints’ Primary School, Church and local hostelries, this well presented and generously proportioned detached property presents an excellent family home. The traditional stone fronted house has been imaginatively extended in recent years to provide versatile living space which includes four bedrooms, three reception rooms and three bathrooms. The extension incorporates a ground floor master bedroom suite and a stylish living room above with dual aspect windows, lofted ceilings and glazed doors which open to a first floor balcony, which takes advantage of the distant views across the town and valley landscape. The house is complemented by attractive landscaped gardens, driveway which provides car standing for several vehicles, and a detached garage with inspection pit and hoist beam. A closer inspection is strongly recommended to appreciate the full merits of the property.
The wide range of shops and amenities within the town are readily accessible, whilst good road communications lead to the neighbouring centres of employment including Chesterfield, Bakewell and Alfreton. The delights of the Derbyshire Dales and Peak District countryside are also close at hand.
