Dudley's Yard, Smedley Street, Matlock, Derbyshire, DE4

Also to the ground floor is a utility room and two spacious bedrooms, each offering options as additional living space and access to two bathrooms. At first floor level, two further generous bedrooms each with ensuite facilities. Oak veneered doors are fitted throughout and there is the benefit of under floor heating across the ground floor.
