House hunters in Derbyshire keen to buy a home with character can explore a newly available property near Matlock.
The four bedroom semi-detached house is now on the market for £700,000.
Located in Brassington in the DE4 postcode, the property is approximately two miles from Carsington Water and near the market town of Ashbourne.
The new house owner could potentially be buying a piece of history.
The Grade II listed house is said to be built with stone dating back to 1615.
The ‘magnificent’ structure is thought to have been made for the bailiff to the Earl of Shrewsbury, as his initials TWAW can be found on the property.
The expansive property is set over three floors making it a great family home, or a place for those who appreciate spacious living.
There is a family bathroom and large sitting room that could be great for entertaining.
A wonderfully large kitchen is filled with character.
Its original timber beams and fireplace feature make it an ideal space for hosting soirées and gatherings.
Striking quarry tiles are just one of several talking points when glancing around the building.
Original oak panelled doors are a nod to the building’s rich history.
21st century additions of Hotpoint double oven, integrated dishwasher and Bosh induction hob have created a lifestyle that embraces contemporary living while being respectful to the property’s heritage.
It is a joy exploring the ground floor where oak parquet flooring is a feature in the hall and living room.
The original oak theme is continued upstairs, where you will find wooden floorboards and carved oak panelling in the master bedroom.
Formerly known as the Captain’s Room, the largest of the bedrooms also boasts an open fireplace.
From beamed ceilings to wattle and daub walls - one of the earliest construction methods of building - this property will no doubt be a great draw for those seeking a stunning home.
The versatile living space also offers a one-bedroom annexe at the back of the property.
Formerly a wash house, it has been converted to become a private living room, kitchen and bathroom.
There is plenty of storage both inside and outside the property where there is also a small stone outbuilding.
There is parking available for two cars, and a pretty garden with patio area, trees and a small pond overlooking open fields making it perfect for al fresco dining.
Location: School Hill, Matlock, Derbyshire DE4 4HB
