Yokecliffe Hill, Wirksworth

There's a lot to love about this home, which occupies an elevated position at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac close to the centre of Wirksworth. There are splendid views towards the Ecclesbourne Valley from the front and rear gardens, the summer house and the main bedroom. Those gardens have been lovingly maintained and are relatively easy to manage.

Inside, the home has an entrance hallway, large lounge-diner, kitchen, conservatory, two bedrooms and a bathroom. There is room to park up to four vehicles on the driveway, with a car port and garage at the end.

Wirksworth is known as The Gem of the Peak and is a thriving market town with a big focus on the arts. The Northern Light Cinema and annual arts festival are complemented by a range of quality eateries, friendly pubs and independent shops. Within walking distance of this home are the leisure centre, medical centre and schools. There are walks and cycling trails aplenty, plus Carsington Water, Chatsworth House and the bustling market towns of Matlock, Bakewell, Ashbourne, Buxton and Belper all within easy reach.

The gravel path on the left leads all the way round to the rear garden. This detached bungalow is of standard brick and tile construction.

A brick wall with a timber fence forms the right-hand boundary to the garage. On the outer wall of the bungalow are an outside light and wall-mounted letterbox. Decorative iron gates open into the car port and beside the garage is an open entrance through to the rear garden.

Glazed uPVC doors open into the entrance hallway and the kitchen.

Entrance Hallway - The carpeted hallway has a radiator and pine skirting board, with ceiling coving and a ceiling light fitting. The loft hatch opens to reveal a pull-down ladder and the boiler, installed in 2018, is up in the loft. Doors lead into the lounge-diner and the two bedrooms.

Lounge-Diner - 6.15 x 3.8 (20'2" x 12'5") - This large reception room has space for lounge furniture at one end and - at the area beside the kitchen and conservatory - room for dining furniture.

Kitchen - 3.05 x 2.67 (10'0" x 8'9") - This well laid-out room has modern cabinets and plenty of worktop and storage space.

There is also a built-in wine rack and space and plumbing for a dishwasher. The worktop has mosaic tiled splashbacks and plenty of room for small appliances and food preparation. A substantial ceramic 1.5 Belfast sink and drainer with chrome mixer tap sits beneath the west-facing window with views out to the rear garden.

On the right is another worktop, with an integrated four ring electric hob and extractor fan above. Below is an electric oven and there is space below the worktop for a washing machine.

The kitchen has a vinyl floor, recessed spotlights and a door out to (or in from) the car port and garage.

Conservatory - 2.8 x 2.5 (9'2" x 8'2") - With glazing on three sides, a vaulted roof and elevated views over rooftops, this is a private and bright space. The conservatory is of brick construction with uPVC double glazing and has an oak veneer floor. The radiator means that this is a room which can be used in autumn and winter. Double French doors open out to the rear garden.

Bedroom One - 3.8 x 3.25 (12'5" x 10'7") - This spacious double bedroom has terrific south-east facing views to the verdant Ecclesbourne Valley.

Bathroom - 2.4 x 2.12 (7'10" x 6'11") - Bathrooms which have a bath and a separate shower cubicle are always very popular. This bath has a chrome mixer tap.

The capsule WC has an integrated flush and there's a useful wide tiled shelf above.

Rear Garden - At the centre of this lovingly tended and well-maintained garden is a circular central patio area. The long L-shaped patio beside it is one of several spots in the garden where it would be perfect to place a dining set or seating, from which to admire the view. The well-stocked garden has planted borders. Timber fences form the south and west boundaries, whilst the brick wall of the garage forms the northern edge. This wall includes an attached stone bench and outside lights.

Accessed from the driveway, conservatory or the aforementioned path from the front of the bungalow, this garden also includes a timber summer house, from which you can enjoy arguably the best views from this home. This summer house has a gabled roof and oak floor. The garden includes an outside tap too.
