Located at the end of a quiet lane, with footpaths leading through woodland, this stylish home has two parking spaces, great views from the dining patio and a games room/bar which is suitable for a variety of uses. The home has been modernised and updated to a high standard and includes a sleek shower room, contemporary wood burner and lots of living space - it's definitely a home suited to entertaining and socialising.
On the ground floor is a versatile reception room which is currently used as a pool room and bar. It has the potential to be a roomy home office, self-contained annexe or holiday let.

Outside, the large two-tier dining patio area has a splendid monkey puzzle tree in the centre. There is space for two vehicles to park beside the boundary wall.
Opposite the home at the end of the lane, a public footpath wends through woodland towards Bonsall and Matlock Bath. Cromford village is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is packed with tourist facilities aplenty (the historic mills, canal, pubs, restaurants and shops) and walking and cycling routes head off in all directions. Matlock Bath, Matlock, Bakewell and Buxton are all within easy reach, as is the High Peak Trail, Chatsworth House and the many delights of the Peak District.
This is the last house at the top of the lane, before a public footpath enters the woodland beyond. At ground level is a large reception room, which is currently a pool room and bar. On both sides of the steps leading up to the dining patio garden, there is a parking space for one vehicle each. Enter the garden through a decorative iron gate. We'll return to the garden later, with it's fantastic views towards Sheep's Pasture and Bolehill.
