High Street, Bonsall, Matlock, DE4 2AS

Completed in 2006, this modern, stylish home is set in circa 0.25 acres and has a detached double garage, parking for 3+ vehicles, a private woodland walk and beautiful gardens. The current owners have installed a new kitchen and bathrooms, stunning new staircase and extended the hallway to create a bright and airy welcome to the home. Occupying an elevated position in this popular village, the home has panoramic views and extensive gardens, large dining patio, pond and wildflower garden.

On the ground floor, the entrance hallway leads into an open plan kitchen-dining-living room, utility room and shower room. To the lower ground floor are three double bedrooms (one currently used as a large study), whilst up on the first floor are two more double bedrooms and the spacious family bathroom. A long driveway curves up to the double garage, with space for 3-4 vehicles to park in front and to the left of this detached garage. The rear garden is a wildlife haven, with dining patio, pond, wildflower garden, lawn, shed, summer house and woodland walk.

Bordering the Peak District National Park, Bonsall is a charming village which was historically a thriving lead-mining location. Nowadays, villagers and visitors alike explore the Limestone Way footpath and network of walks in all directions then refuel at The Fountain Tea Rooms, Barley Mow and Kings Head pubs. The village field includes a playground and football pitch - and there is a primary school and beautiful church as well as picturesque steep dales, woods and cliffs all around. Famously, the annual World Championship Hen Race takes place at the Barley Mow pub every August!

Front Of The Home - This splendid detached double-fronted home is just one of two properties at the top of a tarmac drive, leading up from the High Street.

With a pond and water feature in front and gabled timber shed on the left, there is lots of space for outdoor seating and dining. On the exterior wall of the home is lighting and power points. Immediately beyond the pond is a beautiful managed wildlife garden with a path meandering through and up to an elevated patio area with stone paving and gravel bed. Newly-laid and illuminated curved stone steps on the right offer a more direct route up.

At the elevated patio, a path heads right adjacent to the roofline of the house and garage, with flower beds and a field fence on the left. Beyond are rolling farmland fields stretching to the horizon.

Six steps continue up from the upper patio to the long neat rectangular lawn, with four raised flower beds. At the far end is a large versatile insulated timber cabin which can be a home office, summer house, hobby or games room with power, half-glazed double doors and east facing window. To the right is a long shed which is part of the same building. There is space behind and on both sides for outdoor storage.

The magical extra bonus is a woodland walk. Another well-maintained natural area, this is accessed from the lawn through a curved arch, with about 20 slate bed steps down to a quiet sheltered path through your own private woodland, then back up to the dining patio.
