A Brief History

Southlands is a Grade II listed building, built circa 1850 making it a Victorian property built in the Georgian style. It is located in the centre of the village of Matlock Bath which was developed as a Spa town. The house is constructed of dressed Yorkshire stone with a welsh slate roof and a Roman Doric style portico. It was originally part of the Methodist Church buildings. The property was originally known as number 1 Fountain Villas. The property has been a bed and breakfast guest house. The current owners have owned the property for over 30 years and have used the building as a very successful and respected residential home for a good part of that time and latterly have chosen to split the property into two substantial dwellings.
