Church Road, Matlock, Derbyshire, DE4

Standing on the fringes of Darley Dale's residential area, handy for the White Peak Trail and Peak Rail tourist line and further walking opportunities around to the Whitworth Park and the neighbouring Derwent Valley countryside, this property, which has been in the same ownership for over 60 years, is particularly convenient for family life and those who enjoy access to the outdoors. The property stands to a quite substantial garden plot which offers opportunity to erect garaging, or other development subject to the necessary planning consents. The mature gardens equally offer opportunity for the keen gardener and family recreation. Internally, the accommodation is well proportioned and includes three reception areas and four bedrooms.

Darley Dale, along with neighbouring Two Dales, is well served by a wide range of local shops, facilities and schooling, close by is St Helen's Church and Churchtown primary school and The Church Inn. There are good roads links to the neighbouring centres of employment to include Matlock (3 miles), Bakewell (5 miles), Chesterfield (10 miles). The cities of Sheffield, Derby and Nottingham are all in daily commuting distance.

OUTSIDE & PARKING
The cottage stands to one corner of a generous garden plot which is enclosed by natural stone walls to the front and side and served by pedestrian access off Church Lane and gated vehicular access into the larger side gardens. Here, it is believed, there may be opportunity for the erection of buildings, subject to any necessary planning consent.

Fronting the house is an attractive lawned garden with mature perimeter planting and a sitting area by the front entrance. The generous gardens extend to the side where there are further informal lawns, mature shrubs and trees.
