Chesterfield Road, Matlock, Derbyshire, DE4

Standing with its back to the roadside, at the heart of this sought after village, this attractive stone-built Victorian property has benefited from more recent extension to provide generously proportioned four bedroom accommodation. The more elegant front elevation is hidden from passing view and enjoys a southerly aspect across the sizeable garden and fine views are enjoyed towards the neighbouring countryside and to the distant hills which flank the Derwent Valley.

Traditional features retain a period character whilst modern enhancements include quality hardwood double glazing and Solar PV panels for energy efficiency. The living space boasts up to four reception rooms, four bedrooms and bathrooms on each floor. The southerly orientation draws good natural light, and the house is further complemented by delightful gardens, off street parking and a modern stone-built garage and store.

Two Dales offers a wide range of local facilities including butcher and general stores, hairdressers, post office, doctors' surgery and pharmacy, plus cafes, bars and the delightful Whitworth Park. There is also a well-respected primary school close by, and good road links lead to the neighbouring market towns of Matlock (2miles), Bakewell (6 miles), Chesterfield (10 miles). The recreational attractions of the surrounding Derbyshire Dales and Peak District countryside are all close at hand.
