House For Sale £450,000
Situated within a favoured residential cul-de-sac, on the outskirts of the town, this attractive detached brick built bungalow provides generously proportioned three or four bedroom accommodation and the versatility of bungalow living provides options for occupiers to adapt rooms to suit their needs. There is potential to create annexe type accommodation, ample room for families or the home worker and some potential to extend upwards and create additional rooms, subject to any necessary consents. The bungalow has the benefit of a good sized front garden, full width patio at the rear with eye level views towards adjacent adjoining fields which lead to Matlock Moor, ample car parking and garage.
