Stone built beneath a tiled roof, stands this attractive mid terrace cottage, tucked away off the main road and offering well presented and well balanced accommodation, with scope for some cosmetic updating. To the ground floor is a sitting room, dining kitchen with pantry, rear lobby and bathroom, with three bedrooms at first floor level (bedroom 3 is accessed through bedroom 2). Outside, there is a delightful and sunny front terrace with slightly off-lying garden providing views over open countryside and the surrounding hills, plus useful store and yard to the rear. The property is an ideal opportunity for first time buyers or a growing family, and a viewing is highly recommended.
Wensley lies within the eastern boundaries of the Peak District National Park and provides ready access to the delights of the surrounding Derbyshire Dales countryside with good walking from the doorstep and good road communications to the nearby villages and market towns, which include Matlock (3 miles), Bakewell (5 miles), Chesterfield (12 miles), Alfreton (11 miles). The cities of Sheffield, Derby and Nottingham all lie within daily commuting distance.
