Arkwright

About this property

Arkwright is an inviting ground-floor apartment in Matlock Bath, Derbyshire, set opposite the River Derwent and offering studio-style living, underfloor heating, and access to a communal garden. Step inside to find a well-presented space where everything flows together, from the king-size bed tucked towards the rear of the room to the compact yet well-equipped kitchen, dining area, and sitting area. Start your days with a hot drink by the window as you watch the river drift by, before preparing breakfast using the electric oven and hob, microwave, and handy fridge with icebox. The underfloor heating creates a gentle warmth underfoot as you plan your adventures at the dining table, or unwind in front of the Smart TV in the evening.

A stylish bathroom, complete with a bath, shower over with handheld attachment, heated towel rail, basin, and WC, provides a bright space to freshen up after exploring. Outside, the communal garden invites you to step into the fresh Derbyshire air, while ample roadside parking on a first-come, first-served basis and welcoming pet-friendly policy make life that bit easier.
