Hague Street, Glossop

Lovers of period homes with character will rejoice at the sight of this architecturally unique property that enjoys Grade ll listed status and sits in generous grounds within the Whitfield conservation area.
In Further Detail
Formerly two weavers cottages dating back to 1815, the two buildings have since been combined into one single dwelling and have been improved considerably, inside and out, under the tenure of qualified architect Edwin Phillip Andrew, from 1959 to the present day.

Understandably, a new owner is likely to make alterations to suit their own taste and requirements, but they will be working from superb foundations.

In further detail the accommodation comprises an entrance lobby, a bathroom, a separate WC, a galley style kitchen with large walk-in pantry and two delightful reception rooms to the ground floor. The lower ground floor provides two separate and spacious reception rooms which can be accessed both internally and externally and offer further potential for conversion. There are two generous double bedrooms at first floor level off the main landing area, plus a separate snug/guest bedroom (accessible from the pantry) that sits over the pantry and part of the kitchen.

Externally the property sits in grounds of approximately 0.16 of an acre and there is evidence of the architect's love of ancient Greek architecture positioned around and about, with replicas of the Gaia Temple in Athens and the Treasury at Delphi taking pride of place in the rear gardens which are quite breathtaking to behold and were a lifetime in the making.

A truly inspiring property that can only be fully appreciated upon internal inspection.






The Accommodation - Ground Floor
Entry to the property is through a lobby area that forms part of an extension built circa 1966. The extension also accommodates a bathroom that comprises a bath, wash basin, shower and WC, plus a separate WC at the opposing side of the lobby.

There is an open aspect from the lobby into the kitchen, which features an ample arrangement of bespoke base and wall units, marble counter tops, a stainless steel sink with drainer and space for appliances including a cooker, a washing machine and a dishwasher. At the far end of the kitchen is access to a large walk-in pantry with shelving and a marble counter top. There is also a ceiling hatch in the pantry through which there is access to the snug/guest bedroom.

The property benefits from two generous reception rooms at ground floor level. An opening in the kitchen takes you into a generous dining room with front facing window and beamed ceiling, stairs to the first floor and an automated trap door that reveals stairs and access into the basement. Adjacent to the dining room is a spacious living room that features dual aspect windows, ceiling beams and a stone fireplace with an open fire and a tiled hearth.
The Accommodation - Lower Ground Floor
There are two generous rooms on the lower ground floor. Both feature front facing windows and the first chamber includes a door opening out into Hague Street. The second chamber also has a door which is visible from the outside, but has been covered over internally for now. This area of the property could potentially be made self-contained if someone was of the mindset to create some ancillary accommodation.
The Accommodation - First Floor
The first floor area comprises two generous double bedrooms located off a small half-landing. The larger of the two rooms features dual aspect windows, with the side window providing superb views. Bedroom two is an excellent size as well and both rooms feature built-in wardrobe areas.

Also at first floor level is the snug/guest bedroom, which as previously mentioned can be accessed via a hatch in the ground floor pantry and externally from the garden. This versatile space is the perfect hideaway and could also be used as a study/home office.
Grounds and Location
The generous gardens are bursting with life and have a unique character and charm, the likes of which few will have encountered before. There are various seating areas and vantage points, grassed lawns and well stocked herbaceous and flower beds and borders. Much like the property, the gardens really do warrant further inspection as no photos could ever do either real justice.

Hague Street is a superb location, elevated up above Glossop town centre and nestled firmly into the surrounding countryside, a stones throw away from the border of the Peak District National Park. There are walks a plenty on your doorstep and a highly regarded public house and restaurant "The Beehive". A wonderful location and surroundings that perfectly befit this amazing opportunity.
