The Town, Carsington, Matlock

This gorgeous stone-built detached cottage has modern interiors, driveway parking for two vehicles with EV charging point, huge dining patio and pretty gardens. Located on a quiet lane in this highly desirable village, the home has many dual aspect rooms so is flooded with natural light throughout.

Having been upgraded to a very high standard, the new enormous kitchen-diner is the star of the show and opens out onto the new, vastly-extended dining patio area. It's a wonderful space in which to gather with friends and family.

On the ground floor, the entrance hallway leads through to the study, utility room and kitchen-diner with separate doors into the sitting room, ground floor bedroom and WC. To the first floor are three double bedrooms (one en-suite) and an additional study. The driveway at the front is beside the pretty front garden, whilst the rear garden comprises the aforementioned dining patio and pretty upper garden with lawns and flower beds.

Carsington is a pretty 'chocolate box' village with primary school, the popular Miner's Arms pub and is within walking distance of Carsington Water and the 9 mile circular walk/cycle route around the reservoir. Nearby Wirksworth was named 'Sunday Times best place to live in Derbyshire 2025', whilst Ashbourne, Matlock and the delights of the Peak District are all within a short drive. The High Peak Trail runs just north of the village and offers off-road walking and cycling for 26 miles from Cromford up to Buxton. Derby city is within a 30 minute commute too.

Front Of The Home - Approached along a quiet lane, the gravel driveway has space for two vehicles to park, with a wall-mounted EV charging point on the left and tall hornbeam hedge on the right. A traditional dry stone wall forms the front boundary, with a lawn and flower beds above. This attractive stone-built double-fronted detached cottage has a tiled roof and brick chimney, with uPVC double glazing. A path leads from the driveway to the original front door and on round to the rear of the home. A high wall on the left of that path has well-stocked flower beds and a range of young and mature trees. The main entrance door into the home is now off the driveway into the entrance hallway.

Entrance Hallway - This spacious light hallway sets the tone for the rest of the home. Contemporary tile-effect flooring flows seamlessly into the WC on the left.

This modern space was previously part of the driveway and you may choose to reinstate it as an extended driveway to create parking for more vehicles should you need it.

A lawn slopes gently up to a flatter raised lawn, with space for a goal, trampoline and more...and this lawn curves all the way round to the side path with pretty flower beds bursting with colour. There is hard standing for a shed and outdoor storage, with the large shed at the top end of the garden being included in the sale.

On the external wall of the house are lights, power points and an outside tap. The patio is bordered by a high stone wall with modern flower bed by the patio, whilst a picket fence and hedges form the side and end boundaries. The propane LPG gas cylinder is situated behind a timber fence.
