Set in a quiet cul-de-sac and raised above the road, this Victorian stone cottage offers striking far-reaching views towards Riber Castle, High Tor and the Heights of Abraham. The layout is compact and practical: two reception rooms with original stone fireplaces, a handmade oak kitchen, two first-floor bedrooms and a useful attic room ideal for a home study or hobby space.
The house has been improved in recent years with a full electrical rewire, gas central heating, double glazing and reroofing works to the main roof and kitchen. Those updates make the cottage liveable from day one while retaining period character — exposed stone chimneys, deep window sills and travertine tile floors.
Suitably sized for downsizers, couples or those seeking a calm country-edge base near Matlock town centre, the cottage has manageable gardens and practical stone and timber outbuildings with power. Note the property is modest in overall square footage and bedroom sizes, and the original stone walls are understood to have no additional cavity insulation, which may affect heating costs and future upgrade plans.
In short, this is a characterful, ready-to-enjoy home in a very desirable elevated spot. It offers immediate comfort with clear potential for cosmetic or thermal improvements for anyone wanting to personalise a traditional Derbyshire cottage.
