Lime Tree Road, Matlock

Set within a very large plot and located close to schools and the town centre, this spacious family home has extensive gardens, a detached garage, off-road parking and the opportunity to modernise and upgrade.

On the ground floor is a wide entrance hallway, sitting room, dining room, conservatory, kitchen and WC. Upstairs are three bedrooms, a family shower room and separate WC. We love the wraparound garden, which is easy to maintain and has been lovingly tended over the years, with lots of colourful plants and also a summer house. The home benefits from a detached garage with driveway for one vehicle in front of the garage.

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.
