Summary - 7 KNOWLESTON PLACE MATLOCK DE4 3BU
8 bed 6 bath Villa
Established B&B potential close to town and rail for investor or large household.
Eight bedrooms and six en-suites plus family bathroom
An imposing Grade II listed Victorian villa (c.1857) offering substantial accommodation across three floors. With eight bedrooms and six en-suites plus a family bathroom, the house has been run successfully as a bed & breakfast and suits buyers seeking an established small hospitality business or a large period family home. Many original features remain intact — high ceilings, sliding sash windows, decorative cornices, marble surrounds and parquet/block flooring — giving immediate character and guest appeal.
Practical strengths include generous off-street parking for c.7 cars with a pay-as-you-go EV charger, a stone-built outhouse/garage, storage cellars and useful utility space housing twin gas boilers. The property sits on a large plot with a well-stocked front garden and a private rear courtyard, and is within level walking distance of Matlock town centre, park and the train station — convenient for visitors and residents alike.
Important practical considerations: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and can complicate repair work and consent for modernisation. The property sits in a medium flood-risk zone and falls into an expensive council tax band (Band F). The house is sizeable and period fabric can require ongoing maintenance; any buyer should allow budget for listed-building-appropriate upkeep and survey checks. Services are connected and broadband/mobile coverage is strong.
For investors the established B&B trading history and central Matlock location present clear income potential; for an owner-occupier the house delivers flexible bedrooms for guests, family or home-working. In all cases expect listed-status constraints and plan for maintenance and flood-mitigation where required.
