A rare opportunity to acquire a charming stone built detached character cottage which sits in an elevated position with stunning views, a high degree of privacy and approximately eight acres of woodland, tucked quietly away a short distance from Matlock Bath and with no upward chain. Matlock Bath became popular in Victorian times, with visitors wishing to sample its mineral spa waters, fine walks and views. Sitting in the Derwent Valley, a short drive from the Peak District National Park, it boasts steep sided limestone crags and became known as Little Switzerland for its unspoilt beauty. Matlock Bath has a good range of facilities, with the A6 and regular train service giving quick access to the north, south and motorway networks. The cottage was featured on BBCs Escape To The Country.
