Hackney Road, Matlock, Derbyshire, DE4 2PW

Situated within a highly regarded location, less than 1 mile from Matlock's town centre and handy for local walks and countryside, this individual cottage boasts charm and character throughout. The original rendered building features gritstone window surrounds and sealed unit double glazing and, more recently, there was a stone-built extension to provide an additional ground floor room, adding to the versatility and modest proportion of the existing accommodation. The cottage is well presented throughout. Outside, there is the added benefit of a large separate studio building, which offers opportunity for dedicated home-work or hobby space. A gated and block paved courtyard provides off-street parking and terraced gardens rise adjacent to the cottage, where herbaceous borders are planted for year round colour and patios positioned to take full advantage of the far reaching views across the Derwent Valley.

The local road network provides access to the town's wide range of shops, schools and other amenities, Darley Dale lies just 2 miles away, Bakewell 7 miles and Chesterfield 10 miles. The wider delights of the Derbyshire Dales and Peak District National Park are all readily accessible.
