Porter Lane, Middleton

This spacious and stylish substantial family home is in fantastic condition and has lots of wonderful features. Three reception rooms on the ground floor offer versatile living space and - with doors opening out to the garden from the kitchen and sitting room - it's a great home for outdoor living too.

Located on a very popular modern estate, the home has a large entrance hallway, with three reception rooms, a spacious kitchen, utility room and WC on the ground floor. On the first floor are four bedrooms (two en-suite) and a family bathroom. The top floor consists of one huge room, suitable for a roomy fifth bedroom and it could also be a cinema room, studio, teenage den or home office.

To the rear is an enclosed garden including a feature pond, whilst a gated driveway leads to the garage.

Middleton-by-Wirksworth is a small hilltop village with a multitude of walks and cycling routes in all directions. Two differing pubs offer real ale and cooked meals and there is a primary school and thriving village hall. Wirksworth, with independent shops and restaurants, a health centre, leisure centre, schools and much more is within walking distance. The Peak District, Carsington Water and the High Peak Trail are all close by.
