About
A Truly Unique Five-Bedroom Duplex Home In Matlock Offered to the market with no onward chain , The Old Hydro is a five-bedroom duplex occuping over 2,000 sq ft of beautifully presented accommodation, combining the space and versatility of a family home with the convenience of apartment living.
Arranged over two floors and finished to a high standard throughout, the property offers generous proportions, flexible living space and a wealth of thoughtful design features that make it unlike anything else currently available in the area.
The main living accommodation comprises three reception rooms, providing the flexibility to create formal and informal living areas, a dining room, home office or snug to suit your lifestyle.
The main living room is enhanced by a log burner, creating a warm and inviting focal point to the space.
At the heart of the home is a well-appointed kitchen, offering underfloor heating, ample storage, generous worktop space and a practical layout for both everyday living and entertaining.
What truly sets this home apart are the bespoke features that have been carefully incorporated throughout.
Hidden seating areas and a cleverly concealed secret door add character and individuality, creating unique spaces that are sure to become talking points for family and guests alike.
These carefully considered details complement the home's contemporary finish while giving it a personality rarely found in modern properties.
There are five well-proportioned bedrooms, offering comfortable accommodation for families, guests or those working from home.
Two modern bathrooms serve the property, both finished in a contemporary style with quality fixtures and fittings.
A particular highlight is the private enclosed rear garden, an unusual feature for an apartment of this kind.
With both patio and decking areas, it provides an excellent space for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the warmer months in complete privacy.
The property also benefits from an allocated parking space to the front.
Ideally positioned within walking distance of Matlock town centre, the apartment enjoys easy access to independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities, while excellent transport links and the surrounding Derbyshire countryside make this an ideal location for both commuters and those looking to enjoy everything the Peak District has to offer.
Offering the scale of a substantial family home, the ease of apartment living and a collection of bespoke design features rarely found elsewhere, this is a truly individual home that needs to be seen to be fully appreciated.
The property is leasehold with a 200 year lease commencing in 1975. This is a leasehold property with the residents sharing the freehold.
