House For Sale £340,000
Standing in a favourable position at the foot of Darley Hillside, this individual detached bungalow presents an excellent opportunity for the retiring or downsizing purchaser requiring a more easily managed yet quality home. The stone built bungalow has been well maintained and offers the benefit of gas fired central heating and UPVC double glazing. Internally the accommodation includes two double bedrooms, spacious sitting room, fitted breakfast kitchen, shower and utility room whilst externally delightfully stocked gardens provide colour and interest through the seasons.
The bungalow is set well back from any main thoroughfare yet conveniently placed for access to the amenities of Darley Dale via the main A6 trunk road which runs through the valley around 200m away. Equally, the property is well placed for local countryside walks and access to the wider delights of the Derbyshire Dales and Peak District countryside. The market town facilities of Matlock, Bakewell and Chesterfield are all readily accessible and the cities of Sheffield, Derby and Nottingham all lie within daily commuting distance.
Accommodation
To the front of the house, a UPVC and part glazed door opens to an entrance hall from where traditional 1930s style doors lead off to the principal accommodation.
Bedroom 1 – 3.41m x 4.83m (11’ 2” x 15’ 10”) measurements not including the deep bay window, which provides a pleasant aspect across the neighbouring tree lined streets and towards the “toothbrush” on Bonsall Moor above the Derwent Valley.
Bedroom 2 – 3.41m x 3.39m (11’ 2” x 11’ 2”) a second double bedroom looking towards the park land of Stancliffe Hall.
Shower Room fitted with a modern suite to include a walk-in shower cubicle with electric shower fitting, pedestal wash hand basin and low flush WC. There is full height ceramic tiling in white and blue pastel shades together with a chrome ladder radiator and illuminated wall mounted vanity cabinet.
Sitting Room – 4.6m x 4.45m (15’ 1” x 14’ 7”) four windows allow good natural light and a particularly pleasant aspect to the front. There are also ceiling beams and a combination of wall and pendent lighting. To one wall, a feature stone fireplace with display plinths and niches and a part glazed panelled door leads off to the:
Breakfast Kitchen – 2.72m x 4.45m (8’ 11” x 14’ 7”) well fitted with a range of modern cupboards, drawers and work surfaces which incorporate a 1½ bowl stainless steel sink unit. Integral appliances include an eye level oven and grill, black ceramic hob with extractor hood above and dishwasher. There is ample room for occasional dining and, as with the remainder of the property, good natural light and a pleasant outlook to the front and side.
Utility Room – 2.55m x 1.20m (8’ 4” x 3’ 11”) a useful secondary entrance and utility space with built in work benching, plumbing for an automatic washing machine, space for additional white goods and a wall mounted gas fired combination condensing boiler which serves the central heating and hot water system.
Outside
Yew Croft stands to a most delightful garden plot which has clearly been well tended and planted over the years. Pathways lead around the perimeter of the house and give way at the front to the larger garden area. Here, a delightful southerly aspect provides some views to the hillside across the valley creating an excellent vantage point for relaxation. A central lawn is surrounded by well stocked borders planted with a variety of shrubs, perennials and specimen trees.
Borders continue to the side where a low pedestrian gate gives access from the lane beneath a Yew arch at the rear. A tarmac drive provides car standing and access to a detached single garage of sectional construction with a metal up-and-over door, pedestrian door to the side and window to the rear. At the rear of the house, a paved patio yard leads to an amenity area with timber shed. Beneath a substantial part of the house is a low void which provides useful ancillary storage and service access if required.
