This most charming character cottage enjoys a convenient location around half a mile from Matlock’s town centre and offers an excellent opportunity as an easily managed full-time home or letting investment. The period stone built cottage has two storey and three store elements, plus later single store extensions which combine to offer versatile accommodation. The property has been sympathetically maintained over the years with charming features and comfortable accommodation. The gardens have been landscaped for ease of maintenance and there is the need for on-street parking. There are fine views across neighbouring rooftops including County Hall towards the slopes which rise above the Derwent Valley to the south.

Matlock is an historic market town spanning the Derwent Valley and considered a gateway to the Peak District National Park. The recreational delights of the surrounding countryside are readily accessible and good road communications lead to the neighbouring market towns of Bakewell (8 miles), Chesterfield (10 miles) and Alfreton (8 miles).
