Wards End, Starkholmes, Matlock

The Location

Starkholmes is a village just under 1.5 miles from the centre of Matlock and is within the easy reach of the neighbouring villages of Cromford, Wirksworth and Riber, home of the historic Riber Castle. There is an active community in Starkholmes with a Grade II Listed Church, Two Public Houses and sought after Primary and Secondary Schools. Train stations at nearby Cromford & Matlock provide easy access to Derby, Nottingham, Chesterfield and Sheffield. This home is located off the right hand side of the road as you travel towards Matlock and therefore enjoys quite superb views across the countryside and towards Abraham Heights at Matlock Bath.
