Porter Lane, Middleton

With a stunning extension in 2022, creating a huge living-dining room with vaulted ceiling and roof light, this pristine home has spacious rooms throughout, a detached garage, off-road parking and bifold doors to the garden.

We love the open, bright feel to the home, which is located in a very popular village close to pubs, the village hall and school and countryside walks.

On the ground floor is an entrance hallway, sleek modern kitchen with separate utility room, that wonderful extension comprising a huge living-dining room, a snug/playroom, bedroom and ground floor WC. To the first floor are three double bedrooms (one en-suite) and the family bathroom.

Middleton-by-Wirksworth is a small hilltop village with a multitude of walks and cycling routes leading from the village via the High Peak Trail and Middleton Moor. Two differing pubs offer real ale and cooked meals. Wirksworth, which has just been named by The Sunday Times as 'The best place to live in Derbyshire' has a range of thriving independent shops and restaurants, a health centre, schools and much more within walking distance of Middleton. The Peak District, Matlock, Cromford, Carsington Water and the High Peak Trail are very close by.
