House For Sale £359,000
Standing above Matlock Bank with views to the opposing hills above the town, this traditional period semi-detached house is built of natural stone beneath a blue slate roof and features attractive double height bay windows to the front. The house bears a date stone of 1888 and internally original Victorian features remain to include leaded glass to the hallway, plaster cornice and ceiling roses and panelled doors, not to mention the expected high ceilings and general elegant air. The house has been upgraded to a contemporary and quite individual style through recent years and briefly comprises a modern fitted kitchen, adjoining reception rooms in an open style, three first floor bedrooms, plus a separate study, luxury bath and shower room, and to the basement a hobby / games room (or guest bedroom 4), plus a small work room.
Modest gardens have seen similar imaginative improvement and include a parking bay for one vehicle, patio terrace and enclosed courtyard garden to the rear. A closer inspection is strongly recommended to appreciate the full merits of the house.
Location
The house lies around half a mile from Matlock’s shops and facilities, whilst good road communications lead to the neighbouring centres of employment to include Chesterfield, Bakewell and Alfreton, with the cities of Sheffield, Derby and Nottingham each within daily commuting distance. The recreational delights of the Derbyshire Dales and Peak District countryside are all close at hand.
