Robertswood

south facing late Victorian
Robertswood is a lovely south facing late Victorian detached gentleman\’s residence, occupying an elevated position with commanding far reaching views over the Derwent Valley and the town of Matlock.
It has 9 bedrooms!
It’s a smart looking house built out of dressed local stone and set under a traditional slate roof with a corbelled soffit, bay windows and a canopied entrance door. It’s got a really charming look I think! It’s run as a B&B at the moment but would make a huge family home!

The Great British Property Scandal

The Great British Property Scandal which is on Channel 4 on Monday 5th & Tuesday 6th December 2011. Architect and presenter George Clarke will front the series which will highlight the nearly two million British families who don’t have adequate housing, and the million-odd homes lying empty across the UK. Architect Clarke will set out to raise awareness of the issue and offer practical solutions for those affected.

Clarke argues that “the Government’s plan to build new homes is not necessarily the right approach,” and suggests ‘more cost effective and efficient ways to utilize the properties that are currently lying empty.” Clarke will also lobby central government and local councils to commit to re-using empty homes across the whole of the UK.
