Built of natural stone beneath a slated roof, this substantial modern detached house provides generously proportioned family accommodation, extending to around 2,000 sq ft and with the benefit of a detached double garage, ample car parking and easily managed gardens. Designed for modern lifestyles, there is a sizeable dining kitchen, utility room, together with a good sized sitting room and dining room, being semi-open plan, plus a downstairs cloakroom. On the first floor, there are four double bedrooms, two with ensuite facilities, and a separate family bathroom. The surrounding gardens are landscaped for ease of maintenance and include lawns, and a block paved patio at the rear for year round recreation and entertaining.

Tucked away from the main thoroughfare to a cul-de-sac shared with just three other properties, accessed behind the former St Giles Primary school, now an attractive conversion. The property is conveniently situated around half a mile from Matlock’s town centre shops and facilities. Starkholmes remains a sought after location, which boasts access to countryside, well respected primary and secondary schools close-by, and the beautiful St Giles Church, which stands prominently in ‘old Matlock’.
