Take a look inside this 'magnificent' Derbyshire family house set in private woodland

A “magnificent” family house with its own private woodland on the edge of the Peak District could be yours as it goes on the market.

The six bedroom house which comes with about 6.5 acres of stunning woodland is in Longway Bank, Whatstandwell, near Matlock.

A spokesman from Fine & Country, who are marketing the property for offers in excess of £900,000, said: “Secluded in a picturesque private woodland setting, with a stream flowing through as a backdrop, is this remarkable property formally a Water Pumping station that has been much improved and extended over the years to create a magnificent five/six bedroom detached residence. Located on a quiet lane, in between Whatstandwell and Wirksworth, Derbyshire. Flexible and spacious with substantial reception areas and an extension that could act as a separate one bedroom annexe or flat, this unique property has everything for the discerning buyer. This property is ideal for families and professionals wanting a property in the countryside, yet relatively close to main towns such as Matlock and Ashbourne with major transport links beyond from Derby and Nottingham.”
