4 bedroom detached house for sale

We adore this splendid, stylish family home, which has a lovely show-home feel. With four double bedrooms, two bathrooms, neat gardens, off-road parking and a garage, it's flooded with natural light and packed with fabulous features throughout.

On the ground floor, a bright and airy lounge flows through to the spacious kitchen-diner. To the right is a utility room and ground floor WC, whilst the garage has been part-converted to create a versatile room which is currently used as a playroom.

To the first floor are four roomy double bedrooms (one en-suite) and the crisp white family bathroom.

At the front, there is space to park two vehicles on the driveway in front of the garage, with a neat lawn to the right. The rear garden includes a large elevated dining decked area with built-in barbecue, positioned to benefit from the afternoon and evening sun.

Crich is one of our favourite villages in the whole area - with The Loaf Bakery, Indian restaurant, great pub, grocers, independent shops, hair and beauty salons and the famous Crich Tramway Museum. For youngsters there is a thriving youth club, great park with football pitch and outdoor gym plus the popular primary school. A daily bus service runs to the nearby secondary schools in Wirksworth and Matlock. Within 5 minutes you can walk to countryside treks in all directions and the hills surrounding the village offer some challenging rides for cyclists. It's a fantastic place to live and from which to explore the local area.

Front Of The Home - Sherwood Drive is a collection of detached family homes and this home in particular benefits from an open aspect to the front and rear, meaning that the home is flooded with natural light in all rooms. The home is constructed of sandstone bricks and has a tiled roof.

There is a neat lawn with planted borders on the right and the block-paved driveway to the left has space for two vehicles to park in front of the integral garage. The garage itself has a Garador up-and-over door and outside lights. There is a timber fence on the left with a path round to the rear garden. Another timber fence forms the right-hand boundary.

Over the composite front door with chrome letterbox and handle is a pitched canopy porch, with outside light and Ring doorbell.

On the right as you enter from the lounge is a radiator on the right and arched opening through to the utility room.

The sleek modern kitchen has recessed ceiling spotlights and cream shaker-style cabinets. The long, wide U-shaped worktop has lots of cabinets and drawers beneath, plus an integrated Zanussi dishwasher and a full-height fridge-freezer. The 1.5 stainless steel sink and drainer with chrome mixer tap is positioned in front of the window looking out to the rear garden.

There is space for a large TV and the room also has a ceiling light fitting and storage under the stairs immediately outside of the room.

Bedroom Two - 3.67 x 2.62 (12'0" x 8'7") - Situated at the rear of the home, where it is also very open outside, we were impressed with the quality wood-paneling on the bottom half of the walls in this double bedroom.

Bathroom - 2.53 x 2 (8'3" x 6'6") - Crisp white Roca bathware including a sleek angular bath with corner-positioned mixer tap (meaning you can truly stretch out and relax) gives this bathroom a luxurious feel.

Rear Garden - Accessed via the side gate (from the front of the home, where there is an outside tap), the kitchen and the utility room, this well-designed garden gets the sun from the east in the morning all the way through to evening time. The large corner paved dining patio is positioned deliberately to benefit from the afternoon and evening sun and the tall neighbouring garden wall creates a warm backdrop and sun trap.

Immediately in front of the kitchen-diner is a wide patio with child-friendly astroturf play area on the right. The neat lawn has recessed stepping stones meandering up to the aforementioned dining patio. There are timber fences on each side with eye-catching tropical plants in the top corner.

This is an attractive, secure and family-friendly garden which is a peaceful sanctuary, perfectly complementing the feel of this home.
