Characterful two‑bed cottage with attic study, great views and recent rewiring.
Elevated position with far‑reaching views to Riber Castle and High Tor
Set in a quiet cul‑de‑sac on Rockside Steps, this stone semi‑detached cottage combines period character with practical modern upgrades. Two reception rooms each feature exposed stone chimney breasts and provide flexible living and dining space, while the handmade oak kitchen and well‑appointed shower room are ready for everyday use.
The house has been improved in recent years with a full electrical rewire, gas central heating and renewed roofing work to the main roof and kitchen — significant works that reduce immediate maintenance concerns. From the elevated front position the property enjoys far‑reaching views towards Riber Castle, High Tor and the Heights of Abraham that add genuine lifestyle value.
Accommodation suits a couple, small family or downsizer: two bedrooms plus a useful attic room/study give versatile space for a home office or guest area. Gardens are manageable rather than large, with a powered stone outbuilding and timber shed (timber shed negotiable) for storage. Council Tax Band B keeps running costs modest.
Buyers should note the bedrooms are compact and the plot is small, typical of a traditional Victorian cottage. External stone walls are assumed uninsulated, so further insulation work could improve comfort and efficiency. Overall this cottage offers character, good outlooks and many recent updates — a comfortable, low‑maintenance home in Matlock with strong local amenities and transport links.
