Dimple Road, Matlock

Built in 1900, this impressive family home has five double bedrooms and is a short walk from the town centre, schools, countryside walks and the Arc leisure centre. With a beautiful limestone facade, this four storey home has spacious rooms, a detached garage, original fireplaces, a south-facing walled garden and open-plan kitchen diner. It has a lovely natural feel - the stairs and lots of rooms have exposed floorboards, pine doors and lots of light flooding in through big timber-framed windows.

On the ground floor, the entrance hallway flows through to the sitting room and kitchen-diner (with a door from here down to the cellar). To the first floor is the first of two large bathrooms and two bedrooms. The second floor has a very pretty second bathroom, large walk-in wardrobe and another roomy double bedroom. On the top floor are two more double bedrooms and eaves storage. The front garden has a flower bed including an apple tree, whilst the charming rear garden is a real sun trap. A detached garage is located around the corner.

It's only a short 7 minute walk into the heart of Matlock town centre, which also has a large park, the River Derwent flowing through and a wide range of independent shops, salons, restaurants and bars. The All Saints primary and junior schools are both within a safe 5 minute walk. There are good road connections up into the Peak District with driving, cycling and walking routes aplenty. Matlock train station has direct trains to Derby and beyond.
