Cottage for sale in Matlock DE4, 3 Bedroom

Believed to have origins as a farmstead serving the John Smedley estate, and for over 50 years remaining in the same family ownership, the cottage presently offers three bedroomed accommodation standing with the benefit of a good sized garden plot which offers opportunity for extension if required and subject to any necessary consents. Built of local gritstone beneath a slate roof, the cottage is well proportioned in its present form and is complemented by a long drive which provides ample car parking and space for the erection of garaging. The house offers a rare opportunity for those seeking a project and potentially a quality family home.

Lying on the very outskirts of Matlock and affording ready access to the countryside of Matlock and Darley Moors, there are fine south facing views across the surrounding landscape. Matlock’s schooling and town centre facilities lie around 1½ miles and the local road network provides excellent links to the neighbouring centres of Bakewell, Chesterfield and Alfreton. The cities of Sheffield, Derby and Nottingham all lie within daily commuting distance.
