Situated within this established and popular residential location midway between the shops and amenities of Darley Dale and Matlock, tucked away from the main thoroughfare yet well placed for road access in and around the area. Offering opportunity for updating, the bungalow is built of reconstituted stone beneath a tiled roof and stands to a good sized garden plot with parking for several vehicles and a double garage. The well proportioned accommodation includes a comfortable sitting room, dining kitchen, the versatility of three bedrooms and bathroom, all set around a central hallway. A traditional loft space offers some opportunity for conversion, subject to the necessary planning approvals. There are gardens to the front and rear, each benefiting from views to the hills and countryside across the Derwent Valley.

Good road communications lead to the neighbouring market towns of Bakewell, Chesterfield and Alfreton, with the cities of Sheffield, Derby and Nottingham each within daily commuting distance. The delights of the Derbyshire Dales and Peak District countryside are on the doorstep.
