Traditionally built in the 1920’s and extended through the 1970’s this
individual detached three bedroom home is offered openly to the market for the
first time. The house stands on the outskirts of Darley Dale with principally
level access to the wide range of shops, amenities and nearby primary school,
and to the delights of the adjacent Derwent Valley countryside. The property
stands to a good sized garden plot, sheltered from the roadside by tall walls,
and with vehicular access via the most attractive tree lined avenue which
fronts the neighbouring Red House and stables. The rear of the property offers
wide ranging views of Oker, Wenslees, Tearsall and beyond. With scope for
general updating and refurbishment, the property offers an opportunity to
create an individual home of some style and character.
Adjacent to the Darley Dale to Matlock trunk road, albeit quite well hidden
from view, the property enjoys excellent road communications in and around the
area. The property benefits from direct access, via the wooden sliding gate,
onto a lovely tree lined promenade, which leads to a number of local
footpaths, the White Peak Cycle Trail and riverside walks.
