Clatterway, Bonsall, Matlock, Derbyshire, DE4

Stone built, this delightful, detached cottage offers two bedroom accommodation with two reception rooms, plus kitchen and utility room and downstairs WC. The property has been well maintained over the years but also offers scope for general updating as required. Outside, there is a good sized attractive cottage garden, larger than expected for a village property, which has been delightfully landscaped over the years. There is no off road parking at the property, parking is to the roadside. The cottage is ideally suited to the professional couple, growing family or active retirees and a viewing is recommended to fully appreciate the merits on offer.

Bonsall is one of Derbyshire's most desirable villages and lies on the very outskirts of the Peak District National Park. There is ready access to the recreational delights of the surrounding Derbyshire Dales and White Peak countryside and the village boasts a well-respected primary school, two public houses, café and community shop, plus church. A wider range of amenities are available in Cromford just one mile away, and the larger market town facilities of Matlock, (4 miles), Wirksworth (3 miles), Ashbourne (10 miles), Bakewell (12 miles) and Chesterfield (13 miles) are also readily accessible via good road communications.

OUTSIDE & PARKING
A wooden gate from the roadside provides access to two short flights of steps which descend to a pathway and to the front of the property, with access into the house either through the side lobby or main entrance.

The garden is to the front of the property and has been attractively landscaped over the years in a delightful cottage style with informal herbaceous and perennial planting, plus shrubs, specimen trees, plus dry stone boundary walling. A pathway dissects an area of lawn with border planting to one side and paving with rockery type planting to the other. The pathway leads to a slabbed patio where there is a shed and seating area. All in all, the garden is a wonderful place to potter and tend as required, and to also enjoy the occasional seating areas dotted around which take advantage of different areas of the garden.

Parking is to the roadside nearby.
