This distinctive, modern detached house on Greenaway Lane is tailored to families seeking versatile, long-term living in the Derbyshire Dales. The property combines well-proportioned living space with a large, south-westerly garden that captures valley views and afternoon sun. A 2008 ground-floor bedroom suite with independent access makes the house well suited to multi-generational living, home working or regular guests.
Practical running-cost benefits come from the solar installations: 20 PV panels producing a guaranteed Feed-In Tariff income until November 2035 and evacuated solar thermal tubes for additional hot water. The ground floor offers a generous sitting/dining room, breakfast kitchen and conservatory opening to paved patios and lawns; upstairs there are three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Buyers should note some important issues: there are signs of historic structural slippage to the conservatory (no further investigations have been carried out) and the house, built in 1960, contains older elements that may need updating over time. Council Tax sits at Band F, reflecting higher running costs. Otherwise the freehold plot is larger than average and includes garage, car port and ample parking.
Location is a clear strength. The property sits under two miles from Matlock, close to Darley Dale shops and highly regarded primary schools, and within easy commuting distance of Bakewell, Chesterfield and the cities of Sheffield, Derby and Nottingham. For families seeking space, sunlight and flexible accommodation in a quiet, affluent area, this home merits viewing.
