Clifton Road, Matlock Bath, Derbyshire, DE4

Built within white rendered elevations and enjoying a delightful situation to a cobbled courtyard, this distinctive mews cottage presents a spacious home. The two storey accommodation holds an elegant character with features including exposed stonework, fireplaces and parquet flooring across the upper floor. A certain versatility to the four bedroom accommodation offers opportunity to create annexe or independent living space, perhaps for older children, visiting guests or to create a dedicated home office.

Externally the house is easily managed, the courtyard being shared with just two neighbours and providing low maintenance outdoor seating, car parking and access to two garages (the courtyard provides parking for The Old Stables only, the other dwellings only have right of way for garage access).

Set well back from the main thoroughfare yet with access to local restaurants, public houses and shops which make up this active tourist centre, there are good road links into neighbouring Matlock, Cromford village and the wider Derbyshire Dales attractions and market towns. Matlock Bath also offers a pay train station linking to the national network, for commuter links to further afield.
