Paxton House lies within the Old Matlock Conservation area being well placed to access the local amenities within Matlock Green and those of the town centre, which are found around half a mile away. The town can be accessed on foot by a leisurely stroll through the delightful Hall Leys Park, alongside the River Derwent, and other opportunities to explore further afield. The town offers well respected schooling and a wide range of market town shops and facilities, whilst good road communications lead to the neighbouring centres of employment to include Chesterfield, Alfreton and Bakewell. The cities of Sheffield, Derby and Nottingham all lie within daily commuting distance and the delights of the Derbyshire Dales and Peak District countryside are close at hand.
