Haddon Drive, Bakewell, Derbyshire

Situated on the fringe of a most sought after residential area, close to Bakewell’s historic town centre, this generously proportioned detached bungalow presents a quite rare opportunity for those seeking a larger than average family home, or single storey living.

The bungalow has scope for general cosmetic updating and presents an opportunity to create an elegant and spacious home. The accommodation offers a degree of versatility with five bedrooms and three bathrooms, which complement a fitted breakfast kitchen and two good sized reception rooms. There is the advantage of ample off street parking, attached garage and adjoining gardens. Views from the sitting room, kitchen and front of the property stretch to the hillside woodland across the Wye Valley and at the rear neighbouring mature trees provides a pleasant wooded backdrop to the garden. A closer inspection is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the potential and position of this individual home.

Bakewell is often referred to as “the capital of the Peak District” and the centre from which to explore the wider delights of the area, with ample hiking and walking and recreation space close at hand. All the town’s facilities and amenities are close by, as is the delightful riverside park. Bakewell has good road links leading to the neighbouring centres of employment including Matlock, Chesterfield and Buxton, with the cities of Sheffield, Derby and Nottingham each considered to lie within daily commuting distance.
