Standing to one of Matlock’s prime residential locations, this traditional brick and tiled house offers well presented accommodation and benefits from ground floor extensions, making this a spacious and comfortable family home. The house has recently undergone refurbishment works throughout and offers the opportunity to further extend, subject to the necessary planning consents. A generous patio area to the rear of the property provides a relaxing and tranquil space to enjoy the far reaching views across the valley. The larger than average tiered garden has been thoughtfully designed to create a productive space, which includes established fruit trees, soft fruit and vegetable beds and an enclosure for pets or small livestock. There is ample parking, good sized garage with workshop space and storage overhead.
Asker Lane lies around one mile from Matlock’s town centre, with respected schools close by and access to local walks, including the attractive Lumsdale Valley. Good links lead to the nearby centres of Chesterfield, Bakewell and Alfreton, with the cities of Sheffield, Derby and Nottingham considered to be within daily commuting distance. The wider delights of the Derbyshire Dales and Peak District countryside are all close at hand.
