Tucked away to the head of a cul-de-sac, and elevated from the roadside, stands this brick built detached bungalow, which has seen extension and updating over recent years to now provide a beautifully presented home. The spacious accommodation comprises entrance hall, sitting room, open plan living and dining kitchen, utility store / WC, luxury bath and shower room and two double bedrooms. Outside, the gardens have been attractively designed and landscaped to provide areas for both family relaxation and production with both greenhouse and summerhouse. All in all, a viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate what is on offer both inside and out.
Located at the heart of Darley Dale, there is the advantage of level access to the wide range of local shops and amenities, including general stores, Post Office, hairdressers, butchers, pharmacy and doctors’ surgery, not to mention the delightful Whitworth Park also being readily accessible. Good road links lead to Matlock (3 miles), Bakewell (5 miles), Chesterfield (10 miles) and the wider recreational delights of the Derbyshire Dales and Peak District countryside are all close at hand.
