This home is perfectly located on the hillside overlooking the town of Matlock and towards the hills beyond. The traditional stone cottage sleeps four people in two bedrooms and has all the amenities required for a comfortable self-catering stay. The south-facing patio at the front of the cottage has a table and chairs and is a lovely place from which to soak up the sun and enjoy the views in the warm summer months.
Walking in through the front door guests will find the living room with characterful open fire which can be lit in the cooler Autumn and Winter months along with enough seating for four people and a television. Through the door can be found the kitchen with its traditional stove cooker positioned under the fireplace and the dining table. With the traditional cottage layout, guests will find the bathroom located at the rear of the property on the ground floor which comes with a shower over bath, WC and basin.
Both bedrooms can be found upstairs with the master bedroom coming with plenty of drawer storage. Guests will absolutely love waking up here, opening the curtains of a morning and looking out at the incredible countryside views. The second bedroom is arranged as a twin.
At the rear of the property, through a door leading off the kitchen is the rear garden.
There is free, on-street parking for this home. While the cottage itself is located down a narrow cul-de-sac with not much room for turning, we recommend parking on Cavendish Road near to the entrance to Rockside Steps. For those approaching the cottage by foot, it is worth considering that the hill from the town centre is approximately 600m long at an average of 14% gradient.
This home is ideally positioned for guests to access the town of Matlock as well as explore the Peak District National Park. Matlock grew up around the ancient stone bridge that crosses the Derwent. Its lovely riverside setting in a steep wooded gorge, is always spectacular, whatever the weather. The town has many interesting shops to browse, with a range of independent outlets. There are also plenty of pubs, cafes, and restaurants, offering a wide range of refreshments from coffee and snacks to full meals. Matlock outdoor market is held on each Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday. A farmers’ market is also held on the 3rd Saturday of the month. Many events and festivals are held in the town throughout the year, including a Victorian Christmas weekend on the first week of December.
