Cavendish Road, Matlock, Derbyshire, DE4

Standing to a highly favoured location on the outskirts of Matlock, this period character stone built house typifies the appearance of quality homes from the late Victorian and Edwardian era, with attractive bay windows, rooms of generous proportion and elegant fireplaces amongst other features. The house is complemented by a good sized garden plot, originally positioned to take advantage of views to the hills which surround the town's Derwent Valley. Adjoining outbuildings include coach house and outside workshop space.

The property is in need of refurbishment and renovation, most notably windows and other external joinery requiring extensive repair or replacement, together with other general updating as may be required. Such investment will return a distinctive home of great character and style.

Located to a private road which serves a handful of properties, families may appreciate the access to nearby Cavendish playing fields, walks through the pine woods to Matlock Moor, and also for the other wide range of amenities.
