Of interest to those seeking a larger than average family home, this individual detached property provides an excellent range of accommodation with ample space for a growing family and home working, plus a ground floor annexe provides a degree of versatility for independent family members or visiting guests.

Dating from the 1960’s, the original house has seen extension and some adaptation over the years, all designed to take full advantage of the southerly aspect and truly delightful views across the roof tops of Matlock Green, to the hillside topped with the iconic Riber Castle.
The spacious house is complemented by a good sized garden plot, the majority south facing and enjoying the same views, all offering ample opportunity for the keen gardener and space for family recreation. Driveway parking is sufficient for several vehicles and leads to garaging for up to three cars, with an adjoining workshop/store.

There is the benefit of a train station linking to the national network and local roads, provide ready access to the neighbouring market towns of Bakewell (8 miles), Chesterfield (10 miles), Alfreton (8 miles).
