Bentley Bridge Road, Matlock

This gorgeous, substantial family home has a large south-facing walled garden, detached garage, off-road parking and elevated views to verdant, hilly countryside. The most prominent home in this attractive modern estate, the home is located close to schools and walks to countryside and Lumsdale Waterfall.

Set across three storeys, steps lead up to the front door. The entrance hallway has doors into the living room, dining room and breakfast kitchen (and on to the utility room and a ground floor WC). On the first floor are the family bathroom, three bedrooms (one en-suite) and stairs continuing up to the second floor. At the top floor are two further double bedrooms and a shower room. The lovely rear garden has a dining patio, raised decked seating area and large lawn. The detached garage and block-paved driveway are just around the corner.

This elevated area of Matlock is within a five minute drive of the thriving town centre and close to the A632 leading up through Ashover parish to Chesterfield. It's a wonderful, peaceful location and perfect for those who love quick access to the countryside, with Lumsdale Waterfall and countryside walks close by. The Peak District and Chatsworth House are within a short drive and the home is within commuting distance of Sheffield, Nottingham and Derby by road or from Matlock train station.

Front Of The Home - The most prominent house on this beautifully-kept estate, this three storey home has a half-moon communal lawn to the front. Around to the right is a detached brick-built garage with pitched slate roof and block-paved driveway with space for one vehicle to park. There is space to the right of the home to discreetly store bins and a gate to the rear garden.

Ascend 14 steps - with a handrail on the right and decorative iron railings - up to this elevated home. The eye-catching canary yellow composite front door has a chrome letterbox and handle. It is part-glazed and has a canopy porch over and wall-mounted light on the right.

There is space for a 6-10 seater dining table and the room has laminate flooring, a ceiling light fitting and radiator. Some neighbours have knocked through to the breakfast kitchen to create a huge dual aspect kitchen-diner and that is an option here.

Breakfast Kitchen - 4.87 x 4.13 (15'11" x 13'6") - We adore this room, with light pouring in through the south facing windows and double French doors, a wide window and two Velux windows overhead. It is very spacious, with a large island in the centre, which has a worktop, cabinets and space for stools around it.

On the left, the long L-shaped worktop has a range of fitted high and low level cabinets and deep pan drawers. At the left-hand end is a tall fitted Zanussi fridge-freezer and then a Zanussi chest-height double oven. Within the worktop is an integral Zanussi four-ring electric hob with brushed chrome extractor fan above. In the top left corner, a cupboard houses the Ideal boiler.

Bathroom - 2.66 x 2.12 (8'8" x 6'11") - We always love a bathroom with separate bath and shower and this truly has the Wow Factor. On the right, the square cubicle has a contemporary tiled surround and houses the mains-fed shower. Roca bathware includes a vanity unit with ceramic sink and chrome mixer tap. There is a ceramic WC and rectangular bath with corner-positioned chrome mixer tap, meaning you can truly stretch out.

The room also has a patterned double-glazed window and part-tiled/part-painted walls.

Stairs To Second Floor Landing - Carpeted stairs with a solid pine banister on the left continue up from the first floor to the delightful second floor landing. The large square Velux window brings lots of natural light pouring down into this space. The landing is carpeted and there is a ceiling light fitting, extractor fan and space for furniture or seating.

Rear Garden - This fantastic south-facing walled garden is, we understand, the largest garden on the estate. Accessed from the gate at the front and from the breakfast kitchen and utility room, you alight upon the dining patio. This has plenty of space for outdoor seating and dining - and there is a power point and outdoor tap on the external wall of the home.

The large rectangular lawn is bordered by pretty ground level and raised flower beds, with a tall brick wall on the left and fences to the end and right-hand side. It is a large, open private space that gets plenty of sunlight all day long. The substantial raised decked area in the top left corner has plenty of space for more seating and dining. This is a wonderful garden in which to relax, play and potter with friends and family.
