3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Lime Tree Road, Matlock DE4

Standing semi-detached with an elegant front bay window and stone portico porch, this good sized three bedroom home offers an excellent opportunity to the growing family. The property has remained under the same ownership for several decades, updated over the years, yet inevitably with some scope for cosmetic improvement. With high ceilings and spacious rooms, the property retains period elegance and is further complemented by good sized gardens, detached stone built garage and off street parking.

The location affords almost level access to local amenities and those of the town centre, less than half a mile away. Good road links lead to the neighbouring centres of employment to include Alfreton (8 miles), Bakewell (8 miles) and Chesterfield (10 miles), with the cities of Sheffield, Derby and Nottingham are each considered within daily commuting distance. The delights of the Derbyshire Dales and Peak District countryside are close at hand.
