Chapel Lane, Crich

With no upward chain, this detached bungalow is located on a quiet cul-de-sac and has elevated panoramic views, well-stocked gardens, a modern bathroom and spacious rooms throughout (including large versatile loft rooms). The home also has a private driveway and pleasant outdoor areas to relax and dine in the front and rear gardens.

From the driveway, steps lead up to the bungalow. The roomy entrance hallway includes a bright and airy dining room and has doors off to the living room, kitchen (and on to boot room, utility room and workshop), two double bedrooms and the modern bathroom.

Crich is one of our favourite villages in the whole area - The Loaf Bakery has an excellent cafe and there are a range of grocers, independent shops, hair and beauty salons and the famous Crich Tramway Museum. For youngsters there is a thriving youth club, great park with football pitch and outdoor gym plus the popular primary school. A daily bus service runs to the nearby secondary schools in Wirksworth and Matlock. Within 5 minutes you can walk to countryside treks in all directions and the hills surrounding the village offer some challenging rides for cyclists. It's a fantastic place to live and from which to explore the local area.
