Semi-detached house for sale in Woolley Road, Matlock DE4

This traditional semi-detached home stands with a gritstone front elevation, on a good sized plot less than half a mile from Matlock’s town centre, and even closer to the well regarded All Saints junior school. It presents an excellent opportunity for a growing family or anyone seeking easy access to the town’s shopping, leisure, public transport and other amenities. For such a conveniently located home, no. 35 enjoys a remarkably open situation, with views over the town to surrounding hills from each of the three bedrooms, two reception rooms and not least the south facing kitchen. Sunny and colourful gardens provide space for family relaxation and opportunities for the keen gardener, who will appreciate two greenhouses, plus a large workshop/store. The wide space providing off-street parking to the side of the house offers the possibility for further development, subject to the necessary planning consents.

Good road communications lead to the neighbouring urban centres, with Chesterfield, Sheffield, Derby and Nottingham all within daily commuting distance. The last two can also be accessed by train. Meanwhile, the delights of the Derbyshire Dales and Peak District countryside are on the doorstep.
