Crown Square, Matlock, Derbyshire

Situated within Jubilee Buildings, one of Crown Square’s traditional and distinctive Victorian premises, Flat 1 is elegantly proportioned and occupies much of the first floor. Interesting views stretch across town centre buildings, neighbouring Hall Leys Park across the road and beyond to the slopes which rise to the iconic Riber Castle. The flat offers a rare town centre opportunity, whether for owner occupation or as a letting investment. To the second floor of the building there are two further flats, each sharing the common entrance stairs and landings.

Matlock is a thriving market town which boasts a wide range of shops, bars and restaurants, including Costa, M&S Foodhall and Sainsbury’s, along with other independent run businesses, a football ground and cricket pitch, plus the attractive Hall Leys Park is a stones throw from the flat and offers an ideal spot for family recreation. Matlock is a draw for tourism and often considered the gateway to the Peak District National Park providing ready access to the surrounding Derbyshire Dales countryside. The town has the benefit of a railway station linking to the national network via Derby, whilst good road communications provide commuter links to the neighbouring centres of employment to include Bakewell, Chesterfield and Alfreton, with the cities of Sheffield, Derby and Nottingham within daily commuting distance.
