The Location

Matlock Bath boasts a lively tourist trade with its riverside attractions. Nestling within a beautiful stretch of the Derwent Valley it provides ready access to the delights of the Derbyshire Dales and Peak District National Park. The towns of Wirksworth, Cromford and Ashbourne are all easily accessible for daily commuting. Matlock Bath has its own railway station thus providing easy access to Derby, Nottingham and Sheffield. Croft Cottage occupies an elevated position in an area named "Little Switzerland" by the Victorians. Due to the very beautiful, historic setting and hillside, the access is via a single track, quiet lane, with passing places, narrow in certain places for a large 4x4 vehicle, but the rewards of this are hilltop views, tranquility and peaceful living. There are far reaching views over the wooded hills to be enjoyed here eg. towards High Tor and Crich Stand with public footpaths and tracks which lead over to Bonsall and other neighbouring villages.

Ground Floor

The property is accessed via the roadside and parking area where steps lead down to the paved sun terrace. A part glazed door leads into the

There are exposed ceiling timbers, matching wall lights and a large opening which leads to an area ideal for a small dining table and chairs.

Outside

At road level, there is hard standing for two vehicles. Steps lead down to a paved sun terrace which is fully enclosed by timber fencing and enjoys a high level of privacy. A gate with steps leads down to the garden and woodland where we find two uPVC double glazed doors which provide access to the external stores located beneath the parking area. There is power and light laid on and are ideal for household storage and freezers etc.

Directional Notes

From our Wirksworth office continue along Harrison Drive in the direction of Cromford. At the "T" junction at Cromford take the left hand turn onto the A6 towards Matlock. Continue through Matlock Bath and then, opposite the entrance to the railway station, take the left hand turn onto Holme Rd. Follow Holme Road up and round to the left. As you continue along Holme Road it becomes Upperwood Road. Follow Upperwood Road for about half a mile until you see the property on the left hand side. Please note that Upperwood Road is quite narrow at certain points and in one place in particular, the gap is just over 6 feet and therefore will not admit most large 4x4 vehicles. There is a turning space just past the property. We would advise parking here on the first visit and walking the short distance down to the property.
