Yokecliffe Hill, Wirksworth, Matlock

Occupying an elevated position, with breathtaking panoramic views to hilly countryside, this spacious bungalow has a driveway, integral garage, sun room and pretty well-tended gardens. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac on the popular Yokecliffe estate, the home is within walking distance of the town centre, schools, leisure centre and countryside walks. It's a peaceful yet well-connected home in a friendly neighbourhood.

The entrance porch opens into the hallway, with doors off to the lounge-diner, kitchen (and through to the sun room), bathroom and three bedrooms.

The integral garage is below these rooms, with a block-paved driveway in front having space to park 2-3 vehicles.

A big selling point of this home is the close proximity to local shops, services and countryside walks. The town centre, schools, leisure centre and Hannage Brook medical centre are all within a 10 minute walk. Wirksworth is known as The Gem of the Peak and is a thriving market town with a big focus on the arts. The Northern Light Cinema and annual arts festival are complemented by a range of quality eateries, friendly pubs and independent shops. There are walks and cycling trails aplenty, plus Carsington Water, Chatsworth House and the bustling market towns of Matlock, Bakewell, Ashbourne, Buxton and Belper all within easy reach.
