Standing as one of three distinctive properties converted from a former school building, this individual stone built character property offers generously proportioned three bedroom accommodation which would well suit the professional or retiring couple, and those appreciative of a home of character, quality and style. The property was converted around 20 years ago, sympathetically restored to combine period character features which include exposed beams upstairs and striking stone mullioned windows. There is the benefit of off street parking for several vehicles and an easily managed patio garden, well suited to those seeking an easily managed home.

Located in what is often considered “old Matlock” close to St Giles Church vicarage and other of the town’s period homes, with a respected public house, primary and secondary schooling close by. Matlock’s town centre facilities are approximately half a mile distance which can be accessed on foot along the river side walks and through the delightful Hall Leys Park. Other local amenities are available in Matlock Green. Good road links lead to the surrounding centres of employment which include Bakewell, Chesterfield and Alfreton, with the cities of Sheffield, Derby and Nottingham all within daily commuting distance.
