Old Nursery Gardens, Tansley

This spacious home with landscaped rear garden is presented in immaculate condition. Located towards the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on the edge of this beautiful village, the home has a driveway with parking for three vehicles in front of a detached garage. We love the bright and airy kitchen-diner with bifold doors, the elegant sitting room and the village location, with great pubs, countryside walks and popular school.

On the ground floor, the entrance hallway leads through to a sitting room, kitchen-diner, utility room and ground floor cloakroom. On the first floor are four bedrooms, a main bathroom and Jack-and-Jill shower room. The impressive top floor master suite comprises of a huge bedroom and en-suite shower room. The rear garden has been designed and landscaped, then lovingly tended, to create a beautiful area for seating, dining and gardening.

Tansley is a lovely village on the southern edge of the Peak District, just two miles east of Matlock. The popular primary school is just a three minute walk away, the community hall and church (with cafe on Fridays) are popular meeting hubs and there are two welcoming pubs - our Bricks + Mortar team are regular diners at The Gate Inn.

From the village, there are fascinating countryside walks in all directions, including to Lumsdale waterfall and over to Ogston Reservoir. The Peak District and popular towns and villages of Matlock, Cromford, Crich, Ashover and more are all only a short drive away.

Flower beds beside the house and wall are bursting with colour, including lavender and Oregon grape plants.

There is a side entrance door into the utility room and a gate into the rear garden, together with outside lights on the house and garage walls.
