Description
 On the Eastern edge of the Peak District National Park equidistant from Buxton and Ashbourne high upon the outskirts of Matlock this newly refurbished Victorian property is located in a delightful elevated position commanding some excellent views of the Derwent valley below. West View is the “modern” half of an older larger house fully independent from the owner’s residence. The accommodation consists of spacious high ceilinged light rooms beloved of the Victorian age and is to a very high specification. The more independent visitors on a business and corporate basis will find the convenient internet access offered most convivial.
Access to the cottage is from the road or the side entrance by the parking area: the former up a few shallow steps and the latter one step through to a pretty porch to the hallway. (There is additional free parking available on the road) The front elevation and garden enjoys the sun throughout the day and you can relax in comfort and privacy.
Entering through a pretty porch on your left is the welcoming cosy lounge with large picture window, TV, and of course the log burning stove. The sofa converts to an extra bed if needed. To your right from the hall is the spacious dining kitchen with a range and large dining table and is fully equipped with all essentials for your stay. A door to the rear leads into a utility area with dishwasher and washing machine and from where you find a shower cubicle and toilet. The stairs lead up to a small landing from which a single step (please be careful) leads up on each side to the good sized bedrooms both with panoramic views of the area: to your right one bedroom has a TV/DVD and two single beds which can be linked to form a super king size bed on request. On the other side the main bedroom is furnished with a double king size brass bed. Adjacent to this room is a fully tiled and equipped bathroom with bath and shower over, toilet and hand basin.
At the same time you will also be able to enjoy the original art in all the rooms undertaken by the owner some of which may be available for sale.
