The Common, Crich

**NO UPWARD CHAIN** Overflowing with attractive features, this substantial, extended home has breathtaking far-reaching views from the balcony terrace, driveway parking for several vehicles, garage, gallery landing with pool table, enormous attic and grand double-height entrance hall.

With very spacious rooms throughout and bedrooms and a shower room on the ground floor, it is perfect for multi-generational living. There is even the option to install a lift in the cavernous entrance hall to enable everyone to access the first floor balcony and master bedroom.

On the ground floor, the impressive entrance hallway has doors off to two double bedrooms, a study, shower room, kitchen and lounge (and on through to the living room and dining area). To the first floor, the wonderful galleried landing has doors out to the splendid long balcony terrace, with magnificent views for miles into the distance. The landing also leads to four upstairs double bedrooms (the master being en-suite and with a dressing room) and the family bathroom. The huge attic is accessed via the pull-down ladder in Bedroom Five.

To the front, the sweeping driveway has space for several vehicles to park, with a garage offering additional parking or storage space. At the rear, the dining patio runs the full width of the home. Steps lead down to the lawn, pond and summer house.

Crich is one of our favourite villages in the whole area - with The Loaf Bakery and cafe, a range of grocers, independent shops, hair and beauty salons, pubs 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.
