1 bed semi-detached house for sale

The Hill, Cromford DE4

Standing alongside The Hill, less then half a mile from Cromford’s market place, wide range of village shops and primary school, this traditional semi-detached house is well suited to the first time buyer or small family. Believed to have been built around the 1960s of reconstituted stone beneath a tiled roof, the original three bedroom accommodation has seen a substantial extension to the ground floor creating excellent additional living space and the addition of a downstairs WC. The property offers opportunity for cosmetic updating. Externally, there is the benefit of driveway parking, a single garage and larger than expected gardens which enjoy a southerly aspect.

Cromford is situated three miles south of Matlock and just a mile or so from the historic small market town of Wirksworth. The village is renowned for its links with the Arkwright dynasty and now forms part of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. There is ready access to the delights of the surrounding Derbyshire Dales countryside, with local attractions include Cromford Canal, the High Peak Trail, Black Rocks and Carsington Water.
