Tor Rise, Matlock

Located on one of the most desirable streets in Matlock, this immaculate and spacious family home has spectacular panoramic views over the town and up to Riber Castle. With parking for 3 vehicles on the private driveway, a huge lawned garden with several seating and dining areas, this is a stylish home with new roof, kitchen, multifuel stove and radiators.

On the ground floor is a study, bedroom, shower room, utility and substantial store room. The upper ground floor is the beating heart of the home. The large L-shaped sitting room has a wonderful bay window with breathtaking views, whilst the huge kitchen-diner is sleek, stylish and has lots of natural light flooding in through windows and doors out to the rear garden.

To the first floor are three further bedrooms and the cavernous family bathroom.

The home is located in the popular Starkholmes area of Matlock. Matlock is one of the most famous towns in the area, nestled on the border of the Derbyshire Dales and the Peak District. It has a thriving town centre (a recent report noted it was in the top 5 towns in the UK for increased footfall since the pandemic) and natural attractions aplenty all around. Chatsworth House, Peak Rail, The High Peak Trail and the similarly bustling market towns of Bakewell and Buxton are close by.
