Description:

This tremendous 3 bedroom detached bungalow with hot tub and landscaped garden is decorated to a very high standard throughout. Located on a quiet road next to the eponymous chapel, the garden and elevated decking afford spectacular uninterrupted views across to the breathtaking escarpment leading up to Middleton Moor.

Inside, the home has been lovingly upgraded and decorated, providing spacious, uplifting contemporary living rooms and spaces. The wide expanse of the L-shaped entrance hallway leads into the breathtakingly-large sitting room. Three bedrooms (one en-suite) and the family bathroom all lead off to the left before you encounter the kitchen-diner. Each room oozes style and we had a job selecting which photographs to feature!

Being east- and south-facing, the sizable elevated decking has space aplenty for outdoor dining...perhaps coffee and croissants in the morning sun or a long, lazy lunch or dinner looking out over the garden, hot tub and those views up to the moor. The hot tub was installed in 2020 and is top-of-the-range.

It is clearly evident that the garden has been carefully tended over the years. We love the thought that's gone into the selection of colours and flowers, the wonderful, fun dragon feature in the central focal point, together with the additional patio thoughtfully located in the north-east corner to capture the last of the evening sun.

There is plenty of off-road parking for up to 5 vehicles, as well as a large garage with power and lighting.

Middleton-by-Wirksworth is a small hilltop village with a multitude of walks and cycling routes leading from the village. Two differing pubs offer real ale and cooked meals. Wirksworth, with independent shops and restaurants, a health centre, schools and much more is within walking distance. The Peak District, Carsington Water and the High Peak Trail are all on your doorstep.

Front Of House

This immaculate detached bungalow has a tarmac drive with space for 4-5 vehicles, in addition to the garage with an up-and-over door. The front garden is lawned and has a wild cherry tree, plus a range of low- and high-level plants and bushes. Level with the tree, there is an electric power socket, perfectly positioned for vacuuming vehicles and for decorative Christmas lights. Around to the left-hand side is a paved pathway leading to the rear garden. An ornate low-level stone wall forms the boundary along the driveway. From the driveway, take the two steps up to the uPVC wood-effect front door, which has a full-height glazed panel on the right.

Entrance Hallway (5.23m x 1.55m and 2.64m x 1.02m (17'2 x 5'1 and 8')

Instantly, this provides a real Wow factor! Stepping onto the ribbed, 'dirt buster' entrance mat, the wide and beautifully-decorated hallway is much bigger than you're expecting. The stylish carpet perfectly complements the decor, which includes white-painted exposed brickwork at this entrance. There are wall lights, two ceiling light fittings, a radiator, detailed ceiling coving and a loft hatch. The loft is part-boarded and has a light, loft-ladder and is fully insulated. Doors lead off into the sitting room, the three bedrooms (one en-suite), the family bathroom and kitchen-diner.

Sitting Room (6.1 x 4.85 (20'0" x 15'10"))

This huge (300 sq ft) east-facing room is bright and airy and has terrific views over the decked, raised terrace to the garden and trees beyond. The impressive fireplace with marble hearth, surround and mantelpiece is enhanced by the contemporary decor, including a feature wall. The room is carpeted and there are two large radiators, ceiling coving and wall lights. It is a great place to gather with friends and family, utilising the sliding patio doors to bring the outside in.

Bedroom One (4.2 x 3.6 (13'9" x 11'9"))

As with all carpeted rooms here, the carpets are high quality and plush, feeling great underfoot! This large double bedroom has a west-facing bay with double-glazed windows and one entire side is filled with full-height fitted wardrobes, drawers and cabinets. Wall lights, a radiator and feature wall complete this room.

Bedroom Two (Master) (4.2 x 3.2 (13'9" x 10'5"))

This is an other large double room which also benefits from the west-facing double-glazed bay window. Another full-height double fitted wardrobe provides more useful storage and there is a radiator and large en-suite shower room too.

Bedroom Two En-Suite (2.92m x 1.91m (9'7 x 6'3))

This spacious en-suite is larger than plenty of main bathrooms. The shower cubicle houses a Mira Advance electric shower. There is a pedestal sink, WC and bidet as well as large storage cupboards and a mirrored cabinet. The frosted double-glazed window sits up high and there is a radiator, ceiling spotlights, a small heated towel rail, extractor fan, light with shaver point and a loft hatch. This part of the house is an extension and the loft is a small bonus loft!

Family Bathroom (3 x 2.45 (9'10" x 8'0"))

The centrepiece of this sleek bathroom is the standalone rolltop slipper bath. Standing proudly in the centre of the room, the white bath has heritage chrome mixer taps and a shower attachment. The sink is a stylish white ceramic bowl with chrome waterfall mixer tap sitting atop a white wooden cabinet with tiled surface. There is a WC, mirrored cabinet, vertical heated towel rail and a floor-to-ceiling storage cupboard. Which houses the new (installed 2020) boiler. Laminate flooring, ceiling spotlights, a frosted double-glazed window, three painted walls and one tiled wall complete this lovely room.

Bedroom Three/Home Office (3 x 2.65 (9'10" x 8'8"))

Currently set up as a modern home office, this can easily be the third bedroom, with room enough as a single bedroom or nursery. There is laminate flooring, ceiling light fitting, radiator, north-facing double-glazed window, painted walls and shelving.

Kitchen-Diner (3.85 x 3.45 and 2.75 x 2 (12'7" x 11'3" and 9'0" x)

With three windows flooding light in from the north, east and south, this is a bright and inspiring place to cook and gather. The multitude of cupboard and worktop space includes an integrated refrigerator and dishwasher and there is space for an additional refrigerator, together with space and plumbing for a washing machine/tumble dryer. The quality continues with a Bosch gas hob and integrated oven and combi-oven at chest height.

The 1.5 stainless steel sink and drainer incorporates an Insinkerator food waste disposal unit. There is vinyl flooring, ceiling spotlights and under-counter lights and a radiator.

The dining area is carpeted and raised, with space for a large dining table and chairs, plus a radiator and door through to the utility room.

Utility Room (1.55m x 1.22m (5'1 x 4'75))

The carpeted utility room currently houses a large fridge-freezer and storage unit, with a door out to the garden.

Rear Garden

Magnificent! Accessed from the lounge, the utility room, the garage and via the side walkway, this substantial garden is overlooked by the elevated decked dining area and houses a hot tub (more on that soon!). The decking and garden are separated by stylish contemporary fencing and a roped boundary. This elevated area is 9 feet above the garden below. At this level there is an outside tap and electric power socket.

A stone path leads down to the lovingly-tended garden which comprises beautifully-manicured lawns and borders, together with a stunning stone garden with fountain and dragon! Within that stone garden is another useful electric power socket, cleverly hidden. The wide range of border plants bring a splash of myriad colours. A love seat is positioned to maximise the views up to Middleton Moor and the paved patio in the north-east corner soaks up the late afternoon/evening sun.

Hedge borders on the east and south side are complemented by the original Derbyshire stone wall to the north.

The stunning hot tub is only 18 months old, has an array of colour-changing lights and is positioned privately within the garden. There is a cover and steps to this wonderful addition to what was already a superb garden. Perfect for sunny and wintry days alike, this is sure to be a big talking point.

Garage (5.6 x 2.9 (18'4" x 9'6"))

The large garage has an electric remote-controlled up-and-over door, lighting, water supply, electric power points and shelving.
