An elegant, substantial residence with magnificent, extensive gardens, this home is located on the edge of Matlock town centre. Period features, stylish decor and light, airy rooms combine to create a splendid family home - and the gardens are simply stunning, having been lovingly curated and maintained over many years.
On the ground floor, the modern breakfast kitchen has a useful, separate utility-pantry room. The inner hallway has doors off to the sitting room, garden room, dining room and a ground floor bedroom and bathroom. To the first floor are two enormous double bedrooms (one en-suite) and a walk-in wardrobe. The gardens are packed with mature trees, plants and bushes and have several separate patio areas, perfect for outdoor dining and seating.
It's only a short 5 minute walk into the heart of Matlock town centre, which also has a large park, the River Derwent flowing through and a wide range of shops, salons, restaurants and bars. The All Saints primary and junior schools are both within a safe 5 minute walk. There are good road connections up into the Peak District with driving, cycling and walking routes aplenty. Matlock train station has direct trains to Derby and beyond. It's a fantastic place to live for all ages.
This large property with extensive gardens is bordered by a stone wall with high hedge above. Enter the garden through the original pretty blue decorative iron gate. Stone steps and a path lead to the front door. Beyond is a shed at the end of the path, which is secure and has a second, separate entrance around the other side of the house. The attractive post office box-red front door has a patterned glass pane and opens into the breakfast kitchen.
3.85 x 3.7 (12'7" x 12'1")This bright and airy room has dual aspect windows and a high ceiling with recessed spotlights. The kitchen has sleek modern high and low level cabinets, new appliances and a white quartz worktop, which was fitted in 2025.
The worktop includes a long worktop has breakfast bar peninsula with space for 2-3 stools. Beneath one of the windows is a 1.5 stainless steel sink and drainer with chrome mixer tap. The Neff appliances include an induction hob with extractor fan above, double oven and fitted microwave. At the far end is a Sharp full-height fridge freezer and a smaller refrigerator beside a full-height pull-out pantry cupboard.
The room has light oak-effect Karndean flooring, a distinctive tubular radiator and matching pine doors with brass handles into the Utility-Pantry and hallway.
2.45 x 1.2 (8'0" x 3'11")With space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, this room has light oak-effect Karndean flooring, an Ideal boiler, ceiling light fitting and tall frosted double-glazed window. We love the fact that the owners have retained the original shelves untouched in their original paint colour.
The L-shaped hallway has pine floorboards and a high ceiling with two light fittings. There is a radiator and lots of space for a dresser and for storage beneath the staircase.
Matching pine doors lead into the sitting room, dining room, ground floor bedroom and bathroom, with a half-glazed wooden door into the Garden Room.
3.95 x 3.9 (12'11" x 12'9")This elegant, light dual aspect room has windows to the south and west. The log burner and flue sit within the chimney breast, which was lined in 2025. The fireplace has a tiled hearth and pine mantelpiece. The room is carpeted and has a radiator and ceiling light fitting.
7.70m x 2.44m (25'3" x 8'0")This huge room has splendid views out over the beautifully-presented garden. With a tiled floor and lots of south-facing windows, the room has plenty of space for seating, a large dining table and additional furniture. There are two ceiling fan lights, a radiator and double patio doors out to the rear garden.
4 x 3.7 (13'1" x 12'1")This grand room has a log burner and flue set upon a tiled hearth with pine mantelpiece. The room is carpeted and has a ceiling light fitting, radiator and window through to the Garden Room.
3.7 x 2.7 (12'1" x 8'10")This handy ground floor bedroom is located next to the bathroom. It has an east-facing window with verdant views to the garden. The room is carpeted and has a radiator and ceiling light fitting.
2.45 x 1.8 (8'0" x 5'10")The modern bathroom has a jacuzzi bath with chrome mixer tap located in the corner of the bath, meaning that you can truly stretch out and relax. It has a mains-fed shower over. The 'floating' ceramic sink has a chrome mixer tap and there is a ceramic WC with integral flush. The room includes a tall frosted double-glazed window, tubular chrome heated towel rail and recessed ceiling spotlights. Three of the walls are tiled, with one wall painted.
Wide and shallow carpeted stairs lead up to the first floor landing, with a solid pine banister on the left. At the landing is a large walk-in wardrobe, ceiling light fitting and panelled white doors to both bedrooms.
4.95 x 4.6 (16'2" x 15'1")The huge master bedroom has three windows and a high ceiling with recessed spotlights, creating a lovely light and airy room. The room is carpeted and has a built-in cupboard in the corner and another cupboard which is large enough to be a walk-in wardrobe. These leave plenty of space for a king size bed, wardrobe, dressing table and additional furniture. A door leads into the en-suite shower room.
3.55 x 1.65 (11'7" x 5'4")Larger than the main bathroom, this modern room has light oak-effect laminate flooring and contemporary tiled walls.

6.7 x 3.75 (21'11" x 12'3")This enormous double bedroom is currently set up as a double bedroom at one end, with a day bed and home office area at the other end. This still leaves lots of room for a wardrobe and additional bedroom furniture. The position of the windows suggests this may have previously been two bedrooms and it would be relatively easy - and certainly spacious enough - to split this room into two bedrooms.
The room is carpeted and has a radiator, recessed ceiling spotlights, three windows, a Velux window and loft hatch. The spacious boarded loft has a pull-down ladder, lighting and power.
For many of you reading, having seen the photographs, this will be the main selling point of this impressive home. It has been lovingly tended over the years, with stunning topiary and a wide range of mature plants and trees. The tall hedges provide complete privacy and the garden is alive with birdsong and wildlife.
From the Garden Room, the long elevated patio extends and provides a pretty setting for outdoor drinks and dining. The upper lawn has flower beds and a gate to the lower garden, with even more plants, bushes and trees including a distinctive Harry Lauder's Walking Stick tree, Tasmanian blue gum tree and silver birch. There are two sheds and an outside tap. This is a beautiful and peaceful sanctuary situated very close to town, but feels private and secluded. For a keen gardener, this is a tremendous opportunity to take on a well-tended, attractive garden.
