With a new roof, new ground floor shower room and utility and new internal doors on the ground floor, this marvellous family home has spacious rooms throughout and is just a 2-3 minute walk into Matlock town centre and - in the other direction - from countryside walks.

On the ground floor is a bright and airy kitchen-diner, with doors through to a long inner hallway. From here you can access the elegant sitting room, a ground floor WC and useful office area. A door to the rear lobby leads on through to the new ground floor utility and shower room. The long galleried landing on the first floor has doors off to the four bedrooms and family bathroom.

To the side of the house, there is space to park four vehicles on the driveway in front of the double garage and large workshop.

The tiered lawns include a greenhouse and there is a wooded area at the top of the garden.
