Set on a hillside with stunning views of High Tor and the spectacular Derwent Valley Gorge this imposing property has to be viewed to appreciate its full potential.
Set on a hillside with stunning views of High Tor and the spectacular Derwent Valley Gorge this imposing property has to be viewed to appreciate its full potential.
It stands to the right of the entrance to a small settlement of smaller cottages nestled in a row along the valley side, known locally as ‘Commonwood’.
This is truly a house of character with a date-stone of 1735 to the rear wall. Built of high quality dressed stone with both Georgian and Victorian features it stands elevated within a substantially built high walled garden and fronted by a terrace bordered by wrought-iron railings and a box hedge. A metal gate is flanked by two stone gateposts topped with pyramid-shaped dressed headstones.
A large terraced garden on a lower level lies opposite to the house, separated by a narrow private cul-de sac.
Conveniently situated within walking distance of Matlock (a popular tourist attraction in itself), population approx, 10,700 and close to all the amenities of a small town, including railway, A6 trunk road, both primary and secondary schools, a small hospital, shops and a traditional park with a boating- lake, putting green, children’s play-area and immaculately kept ornamental gardens, this is indeed a delightful location.
Close access to the A6 trunk road and the railway sets Derby, Nottingham and Sheffield within easy commuting distance. A limited express coach service operates through Matlock, between Manchester and Nottingham via Derby, Buxton and Stockport.
Entrance
to the property is achieved through a oak panelled and part-glazed front door set into a decorated stone door-frame. This has carved and glazed openings in it that cleverly supply natural light to the
Front Entrance
which has a slate-stone floor leading to a central and broader than usual staircase with hard wood handrails to each side.
To the right through a period dipped pine panelled door with authentic brass fittings is a charming
Sitting Room 13ft 7 x 13ft 5 (4.15m x 4.11m)
with a fine focal featured stone fireplace with original mantle and shoulders enclosing a raised granite hearth on which stands a multi-fuel cast iron stove. The room is well equipped with a large central heating radiator, 6 double power points for occasional lighting and appliances as well as a satellite outlet. Natural light is provided through a large sash-window bordered by wooden internal shutters, all in full working order. This well proportioned area is in good decorative order with a moulded cornice above an all-round picture rail.
To the left of the hall a similarly styled door leads through to a sizeable
Dining Room 13ft 8 x 13ft 5 (4.17m x 3.48m)
This room too has a feature stone-fireplace with a heavy sand-stone lintel and curved oak mantel above, the whole almost certainly once housing a modest-sized black leaded grate. (This has all the indications of once being an older centre than the 18th century period mentioned earlier.) Many features of the adjacent, already described sitting room are incorporated into this formal dining room. The same decorative style, very similar proportions, sash windows and accompanying indoor wooden shutters, a good sized central heating radiator, 6 power outlets. The room does benefit from a pine panelled door leading to an under-stair storage cupboard, a further and matching pine door again with authentic brass fittings leading through to a
Breakfast Kitchen 13ft 8 x 10ft 7 (4.16m x 3.24m)
Again with a front aspect and sash windows with shutters, as described in both previously described rooms. There is a good provision of roll-edged work surfaces with dresser-styled cupboards above base cupboards. An Iroko preparation surface with inset drainer and Belfast sink, mixer tap and a tiled surround, all make for a well arranged kitchen. There is plumbing for a slim-line automatic dish-washer and an American style fridge-freezer. The cooker is a Leisure Range unit with full five ring gas hobs, griddle and warming plate and incorporating two ovens and a grill. All of this is set within an original chimney-breast feature in exposed natural stone. The floor is fully covered with ceramic tiles and light is provided by ceiling recessed spotlights. Also in the kitchen is a Worcester wall-mounted boiler providing domestic hot water and serving the whole house central heating system.
Study/Den 13ft 1 x 10ft 3 (4m x 3.13m )
Probably once a storage room with steps down from the kitchen, this stone-floored and carpeted space is truly snug, even cosy. At the lowest level is an external door leading directly out to the roadway. Natural light is provided through the leaded light of this door, by a front aspect window and a roof-light. Heating comes from a wall-mounted radiator. There are currently two telephone jack points for the two lines.
Ground floor is completed with a:
Utility / Shower Room
This room has a ceramic tiled floor with space and plumbing for both an automatic washing machine and a separate condenser tumble dryer. The room offers a fully tiled shower cubicle with Mira shower, a low level wc and wash hand basin with a tiled splashback, light and shaver point. There is a heated towel rail radiator.
1st Floor
The wide staircase divides to left and right at the top and on the left a long well-lit landing extends to almost the whole length of the rear of the house. There are two trap-doors providing access to the roof-space, a large central heating radiator, a storage cupboard above head height and the natural light from the window is strongly reflected from the white, natural limestone rear returning wall. Panelled doors provide access to
The Master Bedroom 13ft 7 x 13ft 8 (4.16m x 4. 19m)
This room has a splendid outlook both across the Derwent Valley to High Tor and to the side, along the wooded slopes towards Matlock. It is very well lit by sash windows to the front and side and provided with a large fully-fitted wardrobe. There are two suspended ceiling lights and eight electric points for occasional lighting and other appliances. Heating is from a large radiator and the room also has a satellite point.
The En Suite facility is well lit and has an all white suite with a vanity wash hand basin with matching tiled splash-back, a low level cupboard beneath this and a large fully tiled shower cubicle with a curved glass door. The stainless-steel fittings complete a bright modern provision. The spotlight unit contains an air extractor fan and heating is from a wall-mounted towel-rail. Natural light comes from a frosted glass sash window, in keeping with most other rooms.
Bedroom 2 12ft 8 x 10ft 7 (3.88m x 3.23m)
This room has views to its front aspect through the sash window. A double room with two double power points and a radiator. There is good cloak hanging space in the fitted wardrobe together with shelving. There is coving to the ceiling and a fitted roller blind which will exclude the brightest sunlight. The floor has a wooden laminate finish.
Bedroom 3 10ft 9 x 10ft 7 (3.28m x3.24m)
Slightly smaller than the previous room but with sufficient space for a double bed. There is a wood laminate floor covering, a coved cornice and a ladder and trap-door access to the boarded-out roof space. Natural light is provided by the sash window with similar but equally lovely views across the wooded valley. Currently fitted with a work-station, suspended ceiling light and four power points this could be described as a working/ bedroom. It has one central heating radiator.
Bedroom 4 10ft 5 x 8ft 3 (3.19m x 2.52m)
A good sized single room with a central heating radiator and front facing window. This room also has roof space access though this is the smaller of the trap-doors. There is a double power point and a suspended ceiling light. The view from this room looks down the valley and over the rooftops towards valley side meadows to the south.
Family Bathroom
Excellent use has been made of the eaves space to provide extra height in a fine, light and bright family bathroom. An all-white suite with large corner bath, a low level wc and wash hand basin is complimented by a double walk-in shower in stainless steel and glass. A combined heated towel rail radiator and glass shelving complete the room.
Outside
Looking out from the front door the immediate view is of High Tor towering above the Derwent River and mature trees. The view to the right is of a densely wooded hillside, apparently spectacular in the autumn. To the back of this area on the right is the first of three wooden sheds.
The garden to the left rises along a path, bordered with plants and flowering shrubs to a sitting area with space for a barbecue. From here there is a view of the cable-cars in Matlock Bath. Towards the back of the garden, closer to the house, wooden fencing has been erected to provide discreet screening for those necessary refuse bins.
Across the narrow road a wooden stairway provides access to the terraced garden below the house. Here there is a range of features including level grass lawns, two circular ponds, one with a fountain, a decking area on which stands a wooden store shed and the whole area is well shaded by a variety of fruit trees.
A newly constructed parking area stands alongside the access road providing space for two vehicles and a third wooden store shed.
Directions
Leaving Matlock along the A6 towards Derby, shortly after exiting Matlock after passing The Boat House Public House, turn right onto St Johns Road, continue up the hill, when the road splits veer to the left where the property can be found on the right hand side.
