Standing to a highly regarded location, this attractive stone built terraced cottage has been thoroughly refurbished in recent years, those works complementing previous adaptations which include a rear extension to provide three bedroom accommodation, well suited to the professional couple or small family. There is the further benefit of a sunroom to the front, which takes advantage of the gently elevated position and south westerly aspect commanding fine views towards Oaker and Bonsall Moor across the Derwent Valley.

Matlock’s town centre facilities lie within one mile distance and good road links lead to the surrounding centres of employment to include 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 close at hand.
