Derby Road, Wirksworth

With vacant possession and no upward chain, this substantial family home has been extended and upgraded to a high standard and offers excellent value for money. With a large rear garden and off-road parking for 3+ vehicles, the home has an integral workshop/utility that has potential to be reinstated to a garage or converted to create an annexe (subject to planning).

With spacious rooms throughout, the ground floor has an entrance porch, sitting room, large kitchen-diner and the aforementioned workshop/utility. On the first floor are three double bedrooms (one en-suite) and the family shower room. On the second floor is a large double bedroom with adjacent dressing room.

To the front there is space for parking for 3+ vehicles. At the rear is a large easy-to-maintain garden with views up to the hilly countryside bordering the town. Directly opposite the home is Wirksworth sports and recreation ground and immediately beyond are countryside walks.

We adore Wirksworth, with it's range of independent shops, cafes, cinema, steam railway and great pubs. There are walks aplenty in all directions including up on the High Peak Trail that traverses the northern end of the town. Carsington Water, Chatsworth House and the market towns of Matlock, Ashbourne, Bakewell and Buxton are all within easy reach.

Rear Garden - This splendid garden heads out directly east from the kitchen, so is open to the south all day long. It's easy to maintain, with modern timber fences on three sides. A large wide dining patio is immediately outside the kitchen, so is a great place to gather with friends and family. A step leads up to the main garden. The left half is also a large patio area, so you can choose to position a patio dining set or seating at the far end to benefit from evening sun. The right half is a neat lawn with circular patio in the centre. It's a peaceful sanctuary and blank canvas which you can either leave as-is, or create a colourful garden with planted borders and more if you so wish.
