2 Bedroom House in Matlock

Bathmans Cottage is a historic two bedroom cottage located in the heart of the market town of Matlock, right on the edge of the Peak District National Park. Originally built and used by the famous Smedley Hydros as part of their hydropathic centre, the cottage has been thoughtfully renovated to a modern, high standard while carefully retaining its historic character.
The cottage offers a comfortable and welcoming base for exploring Matlock, the Peak District and the surrounding countryside. With one private parking space directly outside, it provides a rare convenience for such a central town location.
On the ground floor, guests are welcomed via a private enclosed seating area to the front of the cottage, which enjoys the sun throughout the day in summer and is a lovely spot for morning coffee or relaxing in the evening. This leads into a large entrance hallway and through to the main living space.
The living area is spacious and inviting, featuring luxurious sofas, a modern electric fire, a Smart TV with Sky Q, fibre broadband Wi-Fi, and a PlayStation with games, making it ideal for both relaxing evenings and family stays. The generous kitchen and dining area is fully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable visit, including a double fridge freezer, gas hob and oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and combined tumble dryer, along with all necessary utensils and crockery.
Upstairs, a large landing leads to the two bedrooms and bathrooms. The main bedroom features a super king size bed, a Smart TV with Sky Q, and its own en suite bathroom with a large ceiling and a light, airy feel, creating a calm and private retreat. The second bedroom can be arranged as either a twin or a super king and also includes a Smart TV with Sky Q, making it flexible for couples or families.
The main bathroom is located just outside the bedrooms and features both a large separate shower and a freestanding bath, set beneath high ceilings that add to the sense of space and character.
The cottage benefits from central heating throughout, controlled by Hive, a combi boiler providing plenty of hot water, and excellent Wi-Fi.
Matlock is a lively and characterful town with a wide choice of pubs, cafés, shops and bakeries, all within a ten minute walk. The town is well served by regular bus routes and good transport links to Sheffield, Chesterfield and Derby, making it easy to explore the wider area without relying on the car.
For keen walkers and outdoor enthusiasts, Bathmans Cottage is an ideal home from home after a day exploring the surrounding hills, trails and Peak District scenery. Dog friendly and full of character, it offers a relaxed and comfortable base for couples, friends or small families looking to enjoy both town life and countryside adventures.
