This immaculate family home has been significantly extended to an exceptional standard. Overflowing with fantastic features, it has panoramic south-facing views to Riber Castle, parking for four vehicles, a splendid dining room with two sets of bifold doors to a huge dining patio and garden, a new fully-insulated garden office/gym, new garage and modern bathroom.
One of the most distinctive and desirable homes in this popular village, the home also benefits from underfloor heating, a large lantern skylight and large windows throughout bringing lots of natural light flooding in. It's an uplifting, modern and practical home.
Enter the home into the impressive kitchen-diner. An inner hallway leads through to the sitting room, bathroom and three bedrooms. To the front of the home, there is a driveway for two vehicles and the garden has a lawn, safe play area and large L-shaped dining patio. To the rear, the block paved driveway in front of the extended single garage has room for two more vehicles. The new garden office/gym also has spectacular elevated views to the surrounding countryside and there is a new garden store building and plenty of space for a log store and more.
Tansley is a lovely village on the southern edge of the Peak District, just two miles east of Matlock. The popular primary school is just a one minute walk away, the community hall and church (with cafe on Fridays) are popular meeting hubs and there are two welcoming pubs - our Bricks + Mortar team are regular diners at The Gate Inn.
From the village, there are fascinating countryside walks in all directions, including to Lumsdale waterfall and over to Ogston Reservoir. The Peak District and popular towns and villages of Matlock, Cromford, Crich, Ashover and more are all only a short drive away.
Front of the home
This impressive home occupies a substantial corner plot in the heart of this popular village. With two driveways, you can enter from The Knoll or the lane to the right. At the front, on The Knoll, a long traditional Derbyshire dry stone wall forms the boundary, with an opening to a gravel driveway with space for two vehicles to park. Two stone steps lead up to a gate and the path in front of the home - and the path continues all the way around the attractive white-rendered facade of the home.
The huge dining patio has lots of space for seating, dining sets, barbecue and more. The large flower bed on the right has a range of plants and bushes. From the dining patio, two steps lead down to the neat rectangular lawn with picket fences at each end and, beyond, raised flower beds beside the front wall. Over to the left is an astroturf area with lots of room for a trampoline, swing set and play equipment. This area has been purpose-built as a two-tier flat surface so that it is suitable for the addition of a hot tub and/or outdoor kitchen in the future.
Beside the home is space for more dining and seating sets alongside more raised flower beds and a dry stone wall boundary. A timber gate leads on through to the rear driveway, garden office/gym, garage and garden store.
Enter the home through a part-glazed composite front door with wall-mounted lights each side into the kitchen-diner.
Kitchen-Diner

The bifold doors open onto the dining patio to the side and front, making this the perfect house in which to socialise and entertain friends and family. The porcelain tiled floor has underfloor heating, which flows through to Bedroom One too.
