Nestled high above the picturesque spa town of Matlock, this mid-century house features stunning architecture, blending traditional and contemporary materials. Commissioned in 1967, the house was designed by John Humpston, sharing features and inspirations similar to those of his contemporary Peter Adlington. The property stands proudly over three levels, offering four bedrooms that are bathed in natural light, creating an inviting and airy atmosphere throughout.
A striking hallway featuring a graceful spiral staircase sets the tone for the home’s unique character. The heart of the house is a magnificent dual-aspect living area, where full-length windows frame breathtaking views of the Derbyshire countryside, towards the iconic Riber Castle. A feature brick fireplace, complete with a cosy wood-burning stove, anchors the room, while the quarry-tiled floor adds warmth and charm. From here, you seamlessly flow into a thoughtfully designed fitted dining kitchen, equipped with units and appliances, ideal for family gatherings. The adjoining utility room, study area, and WC ensure practicality, and a boot room offers easy access to the outdoors.
One of the home's standout features is the cleverly designed curved turret seating area, which provides a cozy nook for relaxation and contemplation, enhancing the living experience.
The contemporary landing guides you to a tranquil master bedroom, complete with an en-suite shower room, along with two additional double bedrooms and a stylish bathroom featuring a separate shower. A fourth bedroom completes this level, offering ample space for family or guests.
Outside, the property is enveloped by beautifully landscaped tiered gardens, creating a private retreat. Mature planting provides a lush backdrop and thoughtfully designed seating terraces invite you to enjoy al fresco dining.
The driveway offers off-road parking for one vehicle, leading to a single garage, ensuring convenience amidst the natural beauty of the area. This home, with its unique architectural features and idyllic setting, is perfect for those seeking comfort and a connection to nature.
