Summary - White House, Porter Lane, Middleton, MATLOCK DE4 4LS
4 bed 2 bath House
Spacious Victorian home with gardens, countryside views and listed character.
Grade II listed four-bedroom semi-detached home, 2,142 sqft
Tucked on a hilltop in Middleton-by-Wirksworth, this Grade II listed four-bedroom home blends genuine period character with generous family living space. At 2,142 sq ft the layout includes three reception rooms, an island kitchen with granite worktops, a boot room, and dual-aspect living that opens onto a paved patio and beautifully planted gardens. High ceilings, exposed stone and two double-sided wood-burning stoves create a warm, atmospheric interior while the master suite adds an ensuite shower and a sauna for private comfort.
The property sits in an affluent, low-crime village with excellent mobile signal, easy access to countryside walks, the Peak District and local schools. Practical benefits include off-street parking and the option to buy an adjoining one-bedroom property by separate negotiation — useful for multi-generational use or rental income subject to separate purchase.
Buyers should note the material considerations: the home is Grade II listed which will limit alterations and can complicate planning and repair works. The solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, the EPC is rated D, and broadband speeds are very slow — factors that may affect running costs and modern connectivity. Council tax is band E (above average). These are balanced by the property's size, character features and outlook, making it a strong choice for families seeking a substantial village home with scope to improve energy performance and connectivity.
Overall this is a spacious, characterful family house in a desirable rural setting. It will suit purchasers who value period detail and countryside views and who are prepared to work within listed-building constraints and to consider energy upgrades and broadband solutions where needed.
