Previously two properties, which historically offered combined residential and retail space, this individual stone fronted property has recently undergone a transformation into a stylish modern home. An extensive programme of renovation and refurbishment includes a newly rendered rear elevation, upgraded windows and doors, which also serve to enhance the roadside appearance. Sympathetic internal detail has combined to create a stylish modern home. The versatile accommodation spans three floors, offering three double bedrooms and two bathrooms, the principal rooms allowing delightful views across and beyond the rooftops of the town. It is anticipated the house will appeal to the busy professional couple or perhaps those in need of homeworking or hobby space, whilst appreciative of the low maintenance and modest outside space.

Standing around half a mile from Matlock’s town centre and closer to the local bars and other amenities along Matlock Bank, there is ready access in and around the town and good road links to the neighbouring centres of employment. The delights of the Derbyshire Dales and Peak District countryside are close at hand.
