This superb family home holds great elegance and character, its Grade II* listing being typified through cutstone detail to mullion windows, pineapple finials to each gable and intricate stone carving above the front entrance. Internally there are period fireplaces with similar carvings, ceiling beams and other features which complement this comfortable home.
The accommodation spans three floors, offering a degree of versatility and through sympathetic modernisation the property presents a home suitable for modern lifestyles. Externally, Knoll House is complemented by a generously proportioned garden laid out to the front of the house, surprisingly private for such a central village location, and offering ample opportunity for family recreation and the keen gardener alike.
Tansley boasts a thriving community, well respected primary school, village green and recreation field and the benefit of two public houses for meeting and dining. The village is surrounded by rolling Derbyshire countryside with the delights of the wider Derbyshire Dales and Peak District National Park close at hand. Good road links lead to neighbouring centres of employment to include Matlock, (2 miles) Bakewell (10 miles) Chesterfield (10 miles) Alfreton (6 miles), with links to further afield via the A38/M1 corridor and the cities of Sheffield, Derby, Nottingham each within daily commuting distance.
