2 bedroom detached bungalow for sale

There's a lot to love about this home, which occupies an elevated position at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac close to the centre of Wirksworth. There are splendid views towards the Ecclesbourne Valley from the front and rear gardens, the summer house and the main bedroom. Those gardens have been lovingly maintained and are relatively easy to manage.

Inside, the home has an entrance hallway, large lounge-diner, kitchen, conservatory, two bedrooms and a bathroom. There is room to park up to four vehicles on the driveway, with a car port and garage at the end.

Wirksworth is known as The Gem of the Peak and is a thriving market town with a big focus on the arts. The Northern Light Cinema and annual arts festival are complemented by a range of quality eateries, friendly pubs and independent shops. Within walking distance of this home are the leisure centre, medical centre and schools. There are walks and cycling trails aplenty, plus Carsington Water, Chatsworth House and the bustling market towns of Matlock, Bakewell, Ashbourne, Buxton and Belper all within easy reach.
