Little London, Holloway, Matlock

This stunning home has been completely refurbished to an exceptional standard. Upgrades include a landscaped garden, new kitchen, bifold doors, wood burning stove, flooring, bathroom and redecoration throughout. The current owner has also opened up the former third bedroom to become a beautiful dressing room - this can be reinstated relatively easily to create a three bedroom house again.

On the ground floor, the spectacular entrance hallway leads through to the sitting room, dining room and kitchen. To the first floor, the L-shaped landing opens into the dressing room with doors to two double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The splendid garden includes a dining patio, lawn, pond and elevated seating area at the top, with uninterrupted views to the surrounding countryside and woodland.

Holloway is a historic village with John Smedley's mill reputedly being the longest-running operational factory in the world, since 1784. The village has a church, primary school, local butcher's Robin Maycock and the Chase cafe, popular with walkers and cyclists. The Jug & Glass pub is well-renowned and serves fantastic meals, whilst access onto the start of the High Peak Trail (which runs 20+ miles off-road up to Buxton, offering great walking and cycling) starts at High Peak Junction, just 0.7 miles away.

Front Of The Home - Situated on a peaceful lane in this popular village, you approach this attractive white-rendered house past the garden on the left. On the rear wall is an EV charging point and there is plenty of on-street parking beside the house and long garden.

Enter the garden through a solid wooden gate, where the pretty garden stretches upwards to your left. Overhead is a distinctive large wall-mounted light. Enter the home through the part-glazed composite front door with iron knocker and chrome letterbox and handle.

Entrance Hallway - This stunning entrance is indicative of the quality you will find throughout this home. The flagstone flooring flows seamlessly through to the dining room and kitchen.

There are stairs on the first floor on the right, an open entrance to the dining room and Mexicana doors to the sitting room and under-stairs cupboard.

Sitting Room - 3.95 x 3.5 (12'11" x 11'5") - This elegant room has triple bifold doors to the garden, which bring lots of natural light flooding in.

Garden - We wrote this description to the soundtrack of chirping birds and the gentle babble of water from the fountain into the pond. It's a lovely tranquil, landscaped garden. From the top of the garden you have magnificent views over rooftops to the hilly wooded countryside. Like the home itself, the garden has been substantially improved by the current owner.

The flagstone paved patio has plenty of space for seating and dining - and there is space at the top of the garden here for a hot tub. A tall dry stone wall and shed are on the left. Over to the right is a contemporary horizontal timber fence and raised flower bed. Stone steps lead down to the next tier, where a pond and water feature sit beside a small seating area. Below is a curved lawn and planted borders. On the right are a gravel path, flower bed and dry stone boundary wall. More steps lead down to the bottom tier, with a flagstone patio, raised gravel bed, space for a log store and triple bifold doors into the sitting room. There is a wall-mounted outside tap.
