Clifton Road, Matlock Bath, Matlock

This beautiful, substantial family home is overflowing with attractive features. With elevated panoramic views, landscaped lovingly-maintained gardens, Minton floor tiles and the potential to use the top floor as self-contained accommodation, this is a high quality, versatile home in a wonderful location.

On the ground floor, the impressive entrance hallway has doors into the sitting room, dining room and the inner hallway, which leads on through to the kitchen, shower room, garden room and laundry room. The grand central staircase leads up to the first floor, with four double bedrooms, a dressing room, bathroom and separate WC. Up on the second floor is a fully-equipped kitchen, two bedrooms (one which has been used as a lounge), bathroom and WC - this floor has been regularly used as self-contained accommodation and is perfect for guests, teenage/adult children or a nanny or carer.

To the front of the home is a mature garden with gravelled seating area to enjoy the views from and a wall-mounted EV charger. At the rear, no expense has been spared in updating the garden to provide upper and lower seating areas with high quality Birchover stone steps and terrace.

Matlock Bath is a historic tourist destination, renowned for it's spa waters and traditional eateries, amusement arcades, river activities, Gulliver's Kingdom and the Heights of Abraham cable cars and caves. The Lido at the New Bath Hotel is a two minute walk and you can stroll via a cut-through in your Dry-Robe.

Matlock and the UNESCO World Heritage village of Cromford are both within walking distance, as is Matlock Bath train station - from where there are direct trains to Derby, Nottingham, Lincoln and Cleethorpes. Buses at the bottom of the road go directly to Derby, Chesterfield, Sheffield and Barnsley. The village primary school is a one minute walk away and there are secondary schools within a 10 minute drive in Wirksworth and Matlock. This is a truly wonderful place to bring up a family

Front Of The Home - A tall stone wall forms the front boundary and you enter the front garden through a sturdy decorative iron gate. Immediately on the right is a recently-installed EV charging point. Three stone steps lead up to the beautiful, well-stocked front garden, with the impressive house rising up beyond. The lovingly-maintained garden has large flower beds to the left and right which are brimming with mature colourful plants and bushes. The gravel seating area is the perfect vantage point from which to admire the verdant view of tall trees and the cliff face in the near distance.

There is space for outdoor storage and a potting shed. A path on the right and tall stone wall lead to the rear garden. At the front of the home, in the centre, ascent six stone steps to the solid wood front door with iron knocker, handle and letterbox. It's an uplifting and aspirational first impression.

Entrance Hallway - Indicative of the quality to be found throughout the home, the hallway has restored Minton floor tiles and period features including skirting boards, ceiling coving, a dado rail and beautiful architraves. The useful initial porch area has a recessed barrier mat and part-glazed wooden door which opens into the main hallway. There is a high ceiling with light fitting, radiator, staircase to the upper floors and panelled doors to the sitting room, dining room and inner hallway.

Sitting Room - 4.25 x 3.95 (13'11" x 12'11") - Natural light pours in through the east-facing window. The focal point is the Arts & Crafts stone working fireplace. The room has exposed pine floorboards, two timber-framed double-glazed sash windows, a decorative ceiling rose and coving, picture rail and skirting boards. The room also has a radiator and plenty of room for sofas and additional furniture. We love the original bell on the fireplace which was linked to the bell system in the kitchen (when this was originally called the Drawing Room).

Dining Room - 4.9 x 3.95 (16'0" x 12'11") - The formal dining room has a wide east-facing double-glazed bay window with fitted Roman blinds.
