This architect-designed detached house on Drabbles Road offers bright, modern family living across three floors. Designed by Evans Vettori in 2009, the property feels spacious throughout with large windows — including the signature gable-end apex — and underfloor heating to the ground floor for a clean, flexible ground-level layout. The open-plan living room–kitchen–diner and south-facing rear garden capture long daylight hours and far-reaching countryside views.
Accommodation includes four double bedrooms, two en-suites and a family bathroom, arranged to suit family routines. The top-floor bedroom has dramatic sloped ceilings and lots of storage in long eaves cupboards, while the ground-floor study provides a dedicated workspace. Practical features include new double glazing, granite worktops, integrated appliances and under-stairs utility/storage space.
Outside, the curved gravel driveway provides off-street parking for up to four vehicles and a neat, low-maintenance south-facing garden with tiered lawns, decking and elevated views toward Riber Castle and Starkholmes. The house is a short walk to Matlock town centre, playing fields and a range of schools, making it convenient for family life with easy access to countryside walks and transport links.
Notable negatives to consider: council tax is above average for the banding, the second-floor bedroom has angled ceilings that limit full-height storage and furniture placement, and some rooms are tiled (glossy porcelain) which may not suit every buyer’s taste. Overall this is a well-finished, contemporary family home with strong light, parking and garden space, suited to buyers seeking a move-in-ready property close to schools and town amenities.
