Description

Located in the very heart of the historic and sought-after village of Bonsall, just above the striking medieval Market Cross, is this fantastic four-bedroom home. Full of charm and interesting features, the property combines period appeal with comfortable, well-proportioned accommodation, all presented to an extremely high standard. The ground floor comprises a most spacious sitting room with two large former shop windows framing a wonderful outlook, a well-appointed kitchen, separate dining room, useful pantry, and an inner hallway offering ample storage. Upstairs, there are four good-sized bedrooms—one with an en-suite—alongside a stylish family bathroom. The property benefits from gas central heating and double glazing, with the windows having been replaced under two years ago. To the rear is a superb outbuilding/workshop and beyond this are steps leading up to a delightful garden with beautiful countryside views. Its slightly elevated position also allows for impressive views to be enjoyed from within the property. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented and distinctive home in one of Derbyshire’s most picturesque villages. Viewing Highly Recommended.

The nearby towns of Wirksworth and Matlock offer a broader range of amenities, while excellent transport links include the A6 for convenient north–south travel and within 2.5 miles is Cromford railway station, which provides direct access to Derby and onward connections to London St Pancras.
