Large Victorian Family Home | Central Matlock | Hot Tub & Games Room | 13 Guests

Thornleigh is an impressive large family house located in a prime position in Matlock, offering space, comfort and an excellent base for exploring the Peak District. Sleeping up to 13 guests across six bedrooms and five bathrooms, it is ideal for larger families coming together for holidays or special occasions.

The house is generously laid out, with spacious social areas balanced by comfortable private bedrooms. Four of the six bedrooms benefit from en suite facilities, making it particularly well suited to multi generation family stays.

A real highlight of Thornleigh is the secure enclosed garden, which offers plenty of outdoor seating and a luxury hot tub, perfect for relaxing after a day out. Inside, the games room provides entertainment for all ages with a pool table, table football and board games, making it ideal whatever the weather.

The main lounge offers comfortable seating for everyone, a warming electric fire, a Smart TV with Sky Q, and fast Wi-Fi throughout. The spacious kitchen and dining area is a real social hub of the house, featuring underfloor heating throughout, a Smart TV, and a huge dining table designed to comfortably seat the whole group, making it perfect for family meals and celebrations together. The kitchen is very well equipped and includes an American fridge freezer, double oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher, washer dryer, two kettles, two toasters, and a new espresso coffee machine, with a small supply of pods provided.

On the ground floor there is also a bedroom with a king size bed and en suite shower room, ideal for guests who prefer to avoid stairs.

The cellar level is home to the games room, creating a dedicated space for fun without disturbing the main living areas.

On the first floor, the spacious master bedroom enjoys views across the town towards Riber Castle and features a modern four poster king size bed and en suite shower room. Also on this floor are a double bedroom with garden views and en suite shower room, a twin bedroom overlooking the garden, and a family bathroom which includes a large bath.

The second floor offers another spacious bedroom with a super king size bed, luxurious en suite shower room and lovely views across Matlock, as well as a twin bedroom with a feature fireplace.

Outside, the enclosed garden provides a safe space with plenty of seating, and the private driveway can accommodate three to four cars, which is rare for such a central town location. The property is dog friendly.

Thornleigh welcomes sensible family bookings. As the house is located in a residential area, guests are kindly asked to respect neighbours, keep noise to a minimum, and avoid playing music outside after 11pm.

With its excellent Matlock town location, generous space, hot tub, games room and family friendly layout, Thornleigh offers a relaxed and memorable base for enjoying both the town and the Peak District.

We stayed for a week over Christmas as a family of 12. The kitchen facilities were incredible and the space in the kitchen was really good to all be together. The living room was cosy for 12 people despite advertising to fit 13. The bedroom description and layout advertised did not match the actual bedrooms but this did not cause an issue for us. The facilities were all clean and bedrooms were comfy and lots of storage. The hot tub and games room provided plenty of entertainment. The house was situated in a lovely location and a very close walk to the town. The only thing lacking was hairdryers, there was only one in the whole property and it did not work properly as it got very hot and smelt of burning after a short use.

We came to Matlock with the kids and grandkids from Canada, to show them their roots! The house was just perfect. A perfect spot for family and friends to visit, and we were within walking distance of shops, pubs, and a park. Daniel was very quick to answer any questions we had. We had an amazing time, and it was hard to leave!

Stayed here with a group of friends. Communication prior to arrival was excellent. House was lovely and exactly what we wanted. Lovely big kitchen table for us to sit round and nice garden area to enjoy the spring sunshine. Location is excellent very close to all the amenities of Matlock but also in a quiet location. Fabulous walks available right on the doorstep. Would definitely stay again

Wonderful Weekend Stay

We loved the house for it's space and location. It's really well equipped with very comfortable beds. Plenty of room for three families with teenagers. The games room and hot tub were thoroughly enjoyed! Huge kitchen to socialise and cook easily in. Cosy lounge for chilling out. Lovely to have dog bed, bowls, treats etc provided. We enjoyed being able to stroll around Matlock. It was perfect, and we hope to return!

A pure slice of heaven

Three generations (a group of 11) came to Matlock seeking a wonderful family Christmas after some health issues that had rocked us to the core. The house and its wonderful location provided the perfect place for us to recalibrate, restore and renew. We loved playing Fussball and pool in the games room, delighted at a glass of bubbles in the spa, reminisced over long and lazy breakfasts, and feasted each evening is the superbly equipped kitchen. On the rare occasion we left the house, we enjoyed country walks with superb scenery and explored the charming antique and curiosity shops nearby. We loved every minute and feel ready to embrace the next chapter, whatever it bring. Thank you to Dan and team.
