Summary - MELBURY WIRKSWORTH ROAD WHATSTANDWELL MATLOCK DE4 5HS
2 bed 1 bath Detached Bungalow
Private plot with garage, orchard and strong extension potential.
Elevated 0.5-acre plot with panoramic Derwent Valley views
Set on an elevated half-acre plot with far-reaching valley views, Melbury is a spacious two-bedroom detached bungalow ideal for buyers looking to downsize without compromising on space. The home sits privately, backing onto open countryside yet remains a short drive or walk from Wirksworth and local rail and bus links. The lounge and both bedrooms enjoy superb outlooks; sliding doors open to a paved patio and mature, sheltered gardens.
Practical positives include a recently refitted kitchen with integrated Neff appliances and underfloor heating in the kitchen, a proper double garage with workshop and WC, and off-street parking for several vehicles. The property benefits from uPVC double glazing and partial cavity wall insulation; a separate orchard/garden plot and the septic tank are located across the road, adding usable land but also an ongoing maintenance responsibility.
There is clear scope to extend or redevelop subject to consents — the bungalow’s footprint and very large plot present genuine potential to increase living space or reconfigure internally. Note some specifics buyers should factor in: the home is heated by oil warm-air system (oil supply and servicing costs apply), the septic tank needs regular emptying (last emptied 2024), and the property falls in Council Tax band F, which is a higher ongoing cost.
Chain free and offered with a virtual tour available, this property suits purchasers seeking a quiet rural retirement base or a low-density family home with development upside. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the site, outlook and scope for improvement in person.
