Spacious, centrally located townhouse spread over four floors and situated in a Conservation area. Recently modernised whilst retaining original features the property has four en-suite bedrooms, a reception room, a dining room, an extended modern kitchen and a basement sitting room.

The house is an end of terrace townhouse with a prominent and elevated position overlooking West Road with a stepped, split level garden to the front commanding views over the town and the Derbyshire countryside beyond. It was once a school for girls. There is ground floor level access to the rear of the property via a quiet cobbled, dead-end road with private off-road parking for two cars. This leads to a small enclosed south-facing courtyard and backdoor entrance into the kitchen.

From the front, the house is accessed through a stepped terrace garden with the front door opening to a porch with stained glass windows leading to a light, airy hallway with staircase and doors off to the front living room and rear dining room. The kitchen is accessed from the dining room and has a separate corner door to a stone staircase leading down to the basement. Under the stone staircase is a small utility area housing a washing machine and dryer. There is also a shower room and an additional large sitting/relaxation room housing a large satellite and internet enabled surround sound TV, making this an ideal space for relaxing in or watching a movie. The basement can also be accessed from a separate side entrance that opens to a quiet pedestrian pathway along the side of the house.

The four spacious bedrooms are split over the first and second floors and each has its own well appointed en-suite bathroom with underfloor heating. Three bedrooms are configured with king sized double beds and one bedroom has two single beds. A separate WC is located on the first floor landing.

The country style kitchen is well stocked with wooden work surfaces and is set on a York stone floor with electric underfloor heating. It includes a breakfast bar, range cooker, integrated dishwasher, toaster, kettle, coffee machine and ample storage.

The adjoining dining room has its original black and red floor tiles with farmhouse style furnishings that lend a rustic charm.

The house is well insulated with modern central heating. The front living room has a wood burning stove, satellite and internet enabled TV along with a Sonos connected mini hifi player making this a comfortable room for evening relaxing. High speed broadband Wi-Fi is provided which coupled with mesh routers results in a good signal in all rooms.
