Haddon Drive, Bakewell DE45

Situated on the fringe of a most sought after residential area, close to Bakewell’s historic town centre, this generously proportioned detached bungalow presents a quite rare opportunity for those seeking a larger than average family home, or single storey living.

The accommodation offers a degree of versatility with five bedrooms and three bathrooms, which complement a fitted breakfast kitchen and two good sized reception rooms.
