Split over four floors for optimum space this property is located on a quiet street yet within easy access of town centre amenities.  The style offers contemporary design whilst retaining period charm. The property is in a unique position where you can take in fabulous views of the cable cars travelling up and down the valley and from the rear you have a spectacular viewing spot for the fireworks during the famous Matlock Bath illuminations which take place in September and October every year.

Eight humans and three canine companions will love this stylish home with five bedrooms and an enclosed garden. Close to the Peak District and with walking routes in abundance from the doorstep, this is the ideal location for your dog-friendly holiday.

Enter the spacious hallway, place your mucky boots and hang up the dog leads and your coat before heading through to the comfortable living space. The lounge has a warming wood burner, great for the dogs to curl up in front of and keep toasty, while you enjoy a film or play a board game together as a group. You’ll find plenty of seating downstairs in the well-equipped kitchen, as well as a utility room complete with washer/dryer, ideal for cleaning up and storing towels. Set over four floors, there is plenty of room in this house for guests to socialise together, or take some time out alone relaxing. A single bedroom is found on the ground floor, and the other four bedrooms are on the first and second floors, offering peaceful sanctuaries after days out exploring. Outside is an enclosed garden with patio area and a lawn for the canines to sniff about.

Matlock Bath is a beautiful village with plenty of shops, restaurants and pubs, a lot of which welcome dogs with open paws. Enjoy a peaceful ramble on the plethora of routes available from here, such as gentle riverside walks or more challenging trails leading in and around the Derwent Valley and Peak District, offering up stunning views. Explore the impressive Chatsworth House and Gardens with your four-legged friends (8.5 miles) or visit the popular and quaint town of Bakewell, just 10 miles away.
