Wensley Road, Winster, DE4

Standing detached with part stone and Derbyshire's spa dashed elevations, beneath a hipped slate roof, this elegant family home has recently undergone extensive refurbishment, whilst retaining the character and style of the original 1930s home. Features include high ceilings which offer options for furnishing, picture rails, panelled doors and coloured glazing, whilst further improvements include the modern convenience of uPVC double glazing and gas fired central heating. Fronting the house, a broad gravelled driveway provides car standing for several vehicles, and there is the benefit of a garage to one side, other outbuildings and a south facing garden offer opportunity for further improvement.

The house stands on the fringe of this sought after and historic village, which boasts ready access to the delights of the surrounding Derbyshire Dales and Peak District countryside, together with thriving community and local amenities to include a primary school, village shop and two public houses. The neighbouring market towns of Matlock (5 miles), Bakewell (6 miles), Ashbourne (8 miles) are all within reach, and the cities of Sheffield, Derby and Nottingham are considered to be within daily commuting distance.
