Derby Road, Wirksworth

Owned by a renowned local builder, this home has been completely refurbished, modernised and 'future-proofed' in the past 3 years. Everything in the home is new and of high quality. With a detached home office in the landscaped rear garden, the home has parking for 4 vehicles and is located just a ten minute walk from the town centre, schools, leisure centre and medical centre.

The home was stripped back to brick and has been insulated, plastered and redecorated throughout, with underfloor heating fitted throughout the ground floor. It has a PIV (positive input ventilation) system which improves air quality throughout the home. All soffits, fascias and the drainage have been upgraded, there are new windows and doors throughout and all of the many other improvements are noted in the bullet points. It's a truly wonderful modern and stylish home, ready for you to move straight into.

On the ground floor is a large sitting room with media wall, a bright and airy extended kitchen-diner with veranda to the rear garden and a utility room with ground floor WC. To the first floor are two spacious double bedrooms (one with dressing room/walk-in wardrobe) and a contemporary shower room. The landscaped rear garden includes a dining patio, lawn and detached home office, whilst to the front is a new driveway with space for two vehicles to park here and a further two nearer to the road.

We adore Wirksworth, which has just been named by The Sunday Times as 'the best place to live in Derbyshire'. It has a thriving town centre with a range of independent shops, cafes, cinema, steam railway and great pubs. There are walks aplenty in all directions including up on the High Peak Trail that traverses the northern end of the town. Carsington Water, Chatsworth House and the market towns of Matlock, Ashbourne, Bakewell and Buxton are all within easy reach.
