Hawleys Close, Matlock

With no upward chain, this beautifully-presented family home has had a double-height extension, driveway parking for 4 vehicles, a detached garage and south-facing garden with hot tub. Located towards the end of a modern, quiet cul-de-sac, this substantial home also includes two bathrooms and an additional ground floor WC.

On the ground floor, the entrance hallway leads into the kitchen-diner (and on to the large sitting room and conservatory), utility room and WC. To the first floor are four bedrooms (one en-suite) and the family bathroom. Block-paving to the front and right of the home has space for four vehicles to park, in addition to the detached garage. At the rear, the neat and well-maintained rear garden has a dining patio, lawn, planted borders and hot tub.

This elevated portion of Matlock is close to All Saints and Castle View primary schools and Highfields secondary school. Lumsdale Waterfall, the buzzing Smedley Street neighbourhood and countryside walks are all close by too. Matlock is one of the most famous towns in the area, nestled on the border of the Derbyshire Dales and the Peak District. It has a thriving town centre (a recent report noted it was in the top 5 towns in the UK for increased footfall since the pandemic) and natural attractions aplenty all around. Chatsworth House, Peak Rail, The High Peak Trail and the similarly bustling market towns of Bakewell and Buxton are close by. Chesterfield, Derby, Mansfield, Nottingham and Sheffield are within a 30-60 minute commute.

Front Of The Home - Extended by the current owners, this spacious family home is located towards the end of this popular, quiet cul-de-sac.

Enter the home through the composite front door.

Entrance Hallway - This impressive entrance to the home has laminate flooring, two ceiling light fittings, a tall east-facing window on the left and space for a console table to the right.

Over to the right is another decked area with a large hot tub, with sturdy pergola over. The hot tub is included in the sale.

The curved lawn is bordered by pretty, colourful flower beds. A brick wall forms the boundary and on the outer wall of the home are outside taps and lighting. This is a very attractive garden in which to relax, dine, potter and play with family and friends.

Garage - The standard single garage has an up-and-over door, power and lighting. It provides yet another parking space in addition to the room for four vehicles to park on the driveway - or useful additional storage or workshop space or perhaps room for a gym or games room.
