THE MANSE

The manse was built in 1955, and is a semi-detatched modern house overlooking Belper and the surrounding Amber Valley.

In the 1970's it was extended considerably to its current size. It has 5 bedrooms, 4 of which are double bed sized, and the other is still large enough for a single bed, or as a study.

Downstairs there is a large family sitting room with a passageway to the downstairs toilet and kitchen. A separate front lounge is ideal for meetings, leading straight from the hall.

The house was extensively re-decorated in early 1998, with new carpets being fitted throughout. Plastic guttering and soffits, together with double glazing mean that the manse takes very little maintenance.

To the rear are extensive sloping lawned gardens, with small terraced sitting areas. There is an outside, brick built store house.

The manse is situated at the head of a cul-de-sac in a quiet residential area approximately 10 minutes walk from the church, and a similar distance to the centre of the town. Playing fields and children's play park are within a five minute walk.
