2 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

We adore this immaculate and stylish home. Located on a cul-de-sac close to the trendy Smedley Street neighbourhood and within walking distance of the town centre, the home is beautifully presented.

We also love the fact that the downstairs reception room could easily be a third bedroom. The home currently comprises a bright and welcoming entrance hallway, two ground floor reception rooms, a dining kitchen and downstairs WC. On the first floor are two double bedrooms and a sumptuous bathroom, with standalone rolltop bath and separate double shower.

The neat front garden has a path leading through a gate to the four-tier rear garden, with a shed and plenty of space for seating and outdoor dining.

The thriving locale of Smedley Street nearby has a range of independent micropubs, eateries, hairdressers and delicatessen. Matlock town centre with it's parks and riverside walks is at the bottom of the hill. Head uphill and there are countryside walks in all directions beyond the extensive Cavendish Playing Fields. The delights of the Peak District, Chatsworth House, Bakewell and Chesterfield are all within easy reach.

Front Of The Home - This traditional stone house has a tiled roof. A stone wall forms the front boundary and a neat paved front garden has a pretty central planted area, adding a splash of colour - and a stone bench in the corner. On the left, a path leads to a timber gate through to the rear garden.

Above the solid timber front door is an ornate stone canopy porch and there is an outside light and letterbox on the wall. The front door has vertical glazed panels and a brass handle and knocker.

Entrance Hallway - A beautiful entrance to the home, the hallway has a tiled floor and high ceiling, with space for a shoe rack and coat hooks on the left. The hallway has recessed ceiling spotlights, doors to the Reception Room and Sitting Room, with stairs leading up to the first floor.

Reception Room - 3.65 x 3.33 (11'11" x 10'11") - We are big fans of the colour choice in this versatile room, with the walls painted in Little Green Portland Stone. This fits perfectly with the classic style of the room, which has original timber-framed sash windows and the original glass too. The wide windows are south-facing and lots of natural light floods in. The high skirting boards, decorative ceiling coving and grooved brass handle on the door all enhance the attractive feel of this carpeted room. There is also a radiator and ceiling light fitting. The room can be a lounge/sitting room or formal dining room and also has the potential to be a permanent, or guest, bedroom - thus turning the house into a three bedroom home, whilst still having a sitting room and dining kitchen.

Sitting Room - 3.75 x 3.52 (12'3" x 11'6") - Another beautiful room, the focal point here is the deep fireplace with an oak mantelpiece. A log burner and flue sit upon the tiled hearth and there are alcoves on each side of the fireplace. The large new sash window faces north out to the rear garden. The room is carpeted and has skirting boards, a radiator, ceiling light fitting and door to the downstairs WC. The plastered white walls have an exposed stone archway through to the dining kitchen.

Dining Kitchen - 6.43 x 2.24 (21'1" x 7'4") - The bright and airy kitchen has a ceramic tiled floor and modern cabinets. On the right is a tall full-height cabinet and then a Lamona chest-height oven and grill. Lots of worktop space provides plenty of room for food preparation and small appliances. Above and below the worktop are a large number of cabinets and useful deep pan drawers. The integrated four ring induction hob has an extractor fan above and there is space beyond the end of the worktop for a fridge-freezer. In the dining area at the end of the room, beneath the large Velux window, there is space for a dining table and chairs - or you might wish to utilise the space as a home office.

On the left, doors at each end open directly into the rear garden. There is more worktop space with several cabinets and drawers below - and one cabinet above. There is also an integrated dishwasher and space and plumbing for a washing machine. Beneath the west-facing sash window is an integrated stainless steel 1.5 sink and drainer with swan neck chrome mixer tap. The dining kitchen has recessed spotlights and three ceiling light fittings.

Downstairs Wc - Located off the sitting room, this modern room has a vanity unit with sink above and chrome mixer tap. The ceramic WC has an integrated flush and the room has contemporary rectangular ceramic wall tiles and vinyl flooring. There is a radiator and recessed ceiling spotlights.

Stairs To First Floor Landing - From the entrance hallway, carpeted stairs with a balustrade on the left lead up to the galleried landing. There is a good space for storage on the left beside the entrance to Bedroom One. Overhead, an unusual and charming light well doubles up as the loft hatch. There are recessed spotlights and a ceiling light fitting, with doors leading into the two double bedrooms and family bathroom.

Bedroom One - 4.43 x 3.65 (14'6" x 11'11") - This huge double bedroom has south-facing views over rooftops to Riber Castle. There is lots of space for a double or king size bed, plus seating and additional bedroom furniture. The room has a radiator, recessed ceiling spotlights, ceiling light fitting, skirting boards and is carpeted.

Bedroom Two - 3.75 x 2.62 (12'3" x 8'7") - Located at the rear of the home, this good sized double bedroom has new large sash windows looking out over the rear garden. The room is carpeted and has a radiator, ceiling light fitting and skirting boards.

Bathroom - 3.61 x 2.24 (11'10" x 7'4") - This magnificent room truly has the Wow Factor! The huge standalone rolltop bath with heritage-style chrome mixer tap stands proudly in the centre of the room. In the left corner, a large double mains-fed shower has a rainforest shower head, separate hand-held attachment and a tall reinforced glass screen. The walls are adorned with contemporary rectangular slate tiles and there is oak flooring. The ceramic pedestal sink has chrome taps and there is a capsule WC with integrated flush. The room also features a frosted sash double-glazed window, antique style white and chrome radiator/heated towel rail, wall-mounted mirrored cabinet, recessed spotlights and an extractor fan.

Rear Garden - Tier One: Accessed via a side gate or from the dining kitchen, new paving slabs have been laid to create a sheltered dining patio immediately outside the kitchen. There is a shed, outside tap and outdoor storage space around the corner at the far end.

Tier Two: Stone steps lead up to tier three, with graveled seating with planters, a power point and lighting.

Tier Three: Ascending wooden steps, you alight at this paved dining patio. It's a real sun trap and has a picket fence, low-level wall and steps up to the lawned tier four.

Tier Four: The neat rectangular lawn is bounded by a dry-stone wall with timber fence above, forming the rear boundary.
