Summary - PRIMROSE COTTAGE UPPERWOOD MATLOCK BATH MATLOCK DE4 3PE
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Elevated four-bedroom cottage with terrace and garden, ideal for family living.
Elevated Victorian detached cottage with valley and woodland views
Primrose Cottage is a newly renovated four-bedroom Victorian detached home set in an elevated position in Matlock Bath, offering commanding valley and woodland views. The property combines period character—sash windows, exposed beams and stonework—with contemporary fittings, a well-equipped dining kitchen, and a generous living room. The south-facing stone terrace and landscaped garden are standout features for outdoor living and entertaining.
Practical assets include gas central heating, double glazing throughout, off-street parking for three vehicles and a useful outbuilding (former potter’s studio) with clear potential for conversion to an annexe; planning for a studio/annexe was previously granted (Derbyshire Dales ref. 15/00105/FUL) but has since lapsed and would need reapplication. The property is freehold, sits on a large plot and provides attic storage and a useful utility/WC on the ground floor.
Notable constraints are factual and important: the EPC is rated D, broadband speeds are slow in this location, and the access road narrows in places (one pinch point about 6'6") restricting larger vehicles. The stone walls are original sandstone/limestone and are assumed to be uninsulated, which may mean further works to improve thermal efficiency. Council Tax is Band D (£2,332 for 2025/26), and while the house has been renovated, interested buyers should confirm any desired upgrades or permissions prior to committing.
This home will particularly suit buyers seeking period character, scenic elevated privacy and a garden-focused lifestyle — families or buyers wanting a countryside base with good rail links nearby. The outbuilding and plot size provide genuine scope for value-enhancing projects, subject to planning and budgets. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the views, terrace and garden relationship with the house.
