Bank Road, Matlock, Derbyshire, DE4

Standing around 150m from Matlock's town centre, this elegant Victorian stone built townhouse presents a rare opportunity for those seeking a spacious and traditional family home. The principal accommodation spans three floors with additional cellarage and includes two reception rooms, the sitting room having an elegant square bay window; at first floor level, three bedrooms and bathroom, plus two further bedrooms on the second floor.

The house retains period features with high ceilings, ceiling cornice and centre roses. There is opportunity for some updating, albeit the property does benefit from uPVC double glazing and gas fired central heating installed around 2023. The property offers a rare advantage of a driveway, single brick built garage and other outbuildings. A closer inspection is strongly recommended to fully appreciate property's merits and potential.

Just a short distance from the town centre, Matlock's shops, cafes and bars are all readily accessible, perhaps ideal for children gaining independence, and equally well placed for travel in and around the town. The delights of Hall Leys Park and walks along the valley or into the surrounding hills are on the doorstep. Good road links lead to the neighbouring market towns of Bakewell (8 miles), Chesterfield (10 miles) and Alfreton (8 miles), with the cities of Sheffield, Derby and Nottingham all considered to be within daily commuting distance.
