Woodside, Crich, DE4 5FX

We love the position of this home, on a quiet private drive within walking distance of the bustling village centre.

This immaculate, elegant home has parking for 3 vehicles, a landscaped garden, spacious rooms throughout and is very energy-efficient.

On the ground floor, the entrance hallway leads through to the living room, a huge kitchen-diner with space for a family seating area too, the utility room and a useful ground floor WC.

To the first floor are three double bedrooms (two with en-suite shower rooms), a single bedroom/home office and family bathroom.

The neat rear garden has been landscaped and includes a lawn, dining patio, seating area, flower beds and space for a large shed.

To the front, there is space to park three vehicles in front of the home and integral garage.

Crich is one of our favourite villages in the whole area - The Loaf Bakery includes a popular cafe and there are a range of grocers, independent shops, pub, restaurant, 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.
