Rutland Avenue, Matlock, Derbyshire, DE4

Spread over four floors, this attractive and substantial semi-detached home provides three reception rooms, large kitchen with direct access to the garden, cloakroom / WC, four bedrooms and family bathroom. Recent improvements to the house have seen new roof tiles, new timber framed windows, installation of additional insulation, solar PV panels and a Samsung air to water heat pump which have all helped with energy efficiency. The accommodation would ideally suit the growing family. Outside, there is a modest garden to the front, whilst at the rear a two tiered garden enjoys a sunny south facing aspect and offers ample space for family relaxation and recreation plus scope for the keen gardener to further landscape and stamp their own mark.
