Set back from the main road, yet conveniently placed for road travel into neighbouring Darley Dale and Matlock, this ground floor apartment offers an excellent opportunity for the busy professionals or discerning retirees. The apartment provides generously proportioned two bedroom accommodation with an elegance of the Victorian era noted through high ceilings, tall windows which provide excellent natural light, and similarly impressive communal reception areas. There is the added benefit of a double garage, visitor parking and gated maintained grounds. An internal inspection is recommended to fully appreciate the merits of the property and its location.

The local amenities of Darley Dale and Two Dales are less than one mile away, whilst Matlock’s town centre is around one and a half miles. The delights of the surrounding Derwent Valley and Derbyshire Dales countryside is all close at hand.
