Highfield Drive, Matlock

With no upward chain and vacant possession, this home occupies a large corner plot and has panoramic views of Riber Castle and the surrounding countryside. Offering a great opportunity to upgrade and modernise the home to add value, this family home has spacious rooms throughout and is situated in a great location, close to schools and countryside walks.

On the ground floor, the entrance hallway leads past a useful WC to the sitting room, dining room, kitchen and large store room which has the potential to be a utility room.

On the first floor are four bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The front garden is laid to lawn and the south-facing rear garden has an extensive dining patio, easy-maintenance astroturf garden and large shed. There is space for 2-3 vehicles to park on the tarmac driveway in front of the garage.

This elevated area of Matlock is within a five minute drive of the thriving town centre and close to the A632 leading up through Ashover parish to Chesterfield. It's a wonderful, peaceful location and perfect for those who love quick access to the countryside.
