Standing on the eastern fringe of the Peak District National Park and enjoying fine views and ready access to neighbouring countryside from the doorstep, this detached three bedroom bungalow presents an interesting opportunity. Built of reconstituted stone beneath a concrete tiled roof, the design includes spacious living accommodation and three double bedrooms all complemented by good sized gardens, parking and garage. The principal rooms include good sized windows to take advantage of the views and natural light.

The bungalow is in need of general upgrading and refurbishment and offers potential to create a truly individual home within a special location which stands above The Dale, a charming area of local countryside which provides walks in every direction. There is a choice of primary schools close by in the villages of Winster and South Darley, whilst good road links lead to the wider amenities in Darley Dale (1 mile), Matlock (3 miles), Bakewell (6 miles), Chesterfield (11 miles). The larger employment centres of Derby, Sheffield and Nottingham are each considered to be within daily commuting distance.

Sheltered beneath a broad veranda, a hardwood panelled front door opens to an entrance hallway which leads around and past built-in storage which includes a boiler cupboard, cloaks cupboard and airing cupboard and to a wider lobby which serves the bedroom and bathroom accommodation.

OUTSIDE & PARKING
Glendale stands tucked away off the centre of the village to a private lane shared with a handful of properties. The lane provides vehicular access to the farm and also provides public access on foot into The Dale below, a delightful area of natural countryside ideal for traffic free walks.

The bungalow stands elevated from the lane side to a good sized plot with gardens principally to the front, side and rear. To the front of the house, the garden is lawned and with a wide paved patio extending into the front veranda. Paths lead to each side and at the rear broad steps rise gently to the larger garden and include hard standing for shed and greenhouse. Mature shrubs and specimen trees create privacy and are set around a central lawn and beds, all providing further opportunity for the green fingered enthusiast. The garden has historically been used as a vegetable garden.

Adjacent to the lane at the front is an area of hard standing and turning together with a single garage which stands semi-detached to an adjoining garage.
