Holmfield, Over Croft Lane, Crich, Matlock, DE4

Natural light takes centre stage. The surrounding countryside is framed like artwork through carefully considered architecture, while beautifully proportioned spaces create a home that feels both calm and inspiring. Welcome to Holmfield - a remarkable home making a bold architectural statement in one of the Derbyshire Dales' most picturesque villages.

Designed with confidence and built to be admired, this striking five-bedroom, four-bathroom family home enjoys an enviable setting in the heart of Crich. A village renowned for its community, independent amenities and breath-taking countryside, where scenic walks begin from your doorstep and neighbouring towns and cities remain within easy reach.

The Accomodation - Extending to an impressive 3,089 sq ft across three beautifully designed floors, this is a home where every space has been thoughtfully considered for modern family living. A striking entrance hall sets the tone from the moment you arrive, leading through to a stunning open-plan kitchen and living space, bathed in natural light and designed to bring people together. Opening directly onto the garden terrace, it's a space made for long lunches, summer evenings and effortless entertaining. A separate family lounge, centred around an open fire, flows into a beautiful garden room where bi-fold doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out. Completing the ground floor is a versatile cinema room, equally suited as a sixth bedroom or guest suite, served by a ground floor shower room.

Across the upper floors, five beautifully proportioned bedrooms provide exceptional flexibility for growing families. The principal suite is a true retreat, complete with its own dressing room and luxurious en-suite, while a second bedroom also enjoys en-suite facilities. Occupying the top floor are two further generous bedrooms and a beautifully appointed family bathroom, where a freestanding bath is perfectly positioned to soak in uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside - a reminder that, here, the landscape is as much a part of the home as the architecture itself.

The Garden - More than just a garden, this is an outdoor living space. Designed to feel like a continuation of the home, the expansive terrace is seamlessly connected to both the kitchen and garden room through large sliding doors, blurring the line between inside and out. Elevated to capture uninterrupted countryside views, it's a place made for long summer evenings, family gatherings and quiet mornings with a coffee. Below, the landscaped garden unfolds around a generous lawn, complete with a swim spa and hot tub, creating a setting that feels every bit as considered as the home itself.

Why Crich? - Crich is one of those villages that effortlessly blends countryside living with a thriving community spirit. At its heart you'll find a wonderful selection of independent businesses, from the much-loved The Loaf artisan bakery and café - perfect for fresh bread, coffee and relaxed weekend brunches, to the highly regarded Crich Butchers, renowned locally for its quality produce. Surrounded by beautiful Derbyshire countryside, with endless walks on your doorstep and the iconic National Tramway Museum nearby, the village offers a lifestyle that's as picturesque as it is practical. Despite its peaceful setting, Crich enjoys excellent connections to Derby, Matlock, Belper and Chesterfield, making it an ideal location for those seeking the best of village life without compromising on convenience.

Dales & Peaks Forwardmove Please Read - Dales & Peaks is marketing this Property with the benefit of ForwardMove. Dales & Peaks has introduced ForwardMove to help speed up the sales process, minimise sale fall-throughs and give more certainty to both the Seller and the Buyer.

Purchasers will benefit from the Buyer Information Pack (BIP), which we have created with our legal partners, to give buyers more information before they agree to purchase.

The pack includes:

Fixtures and contents form (TA10)
Official Copy of the Register (OC1)
Title Plan (OC2)
Local Search*
Water and Drainage Search*
Coal and Mining Search*
Homescreen / Environmental Search*

(Dales & Peaks has ordered the local, drainage, coal and homescreen / environmental searches; we will add these to the BIP as they become available)


ForwardMove allows the sale process to be completed significantly quicker than a ‘normal sale’. This is because the legal work, usually done in the first four to eight weeks after the sale is agreed, has already been completed. The searches, which can take up to five weeks, are ordered on the day the listing goes live and are transferable to the successful Buyer as part of their legal due diligence.

Additionally, and on behalf of the Seller, Dales & Peaks requests that the successful Buyer enters into a Reservation Agreement and pays the Reservation Agreement Fee of £595 (including VAT). This includes payment for the Buyer Information Pack and all the searches (which a buyer typically purchases separately after the sale is agreed).

Upon receipt of the signed Reservation Agreement, payment of the Reservation Agreement Fee, completion of ID and AML checks and the issuing of the Memorandum of Sale, the Seller will agree to take the Property off the market and market it as Sold Subject To Contract (SSTC).

During the Reservation Agreement period, the Seller will reject all offers and not enter into another agreement with any other buyer. The reservation period is agreed upon at the time of sale but is usually between 60 and 120 days.

The Reservation Fee is non-refundable except where the Seller withdraws from the sale. A copy of the Reservation Agreement is available on request, and Dales & Peaks advises potential buyers to seek legal advice before entering into the Reservation Agreement.

If you have any questions about the process or want to know how selling or buying with Dales & Peaks ForwardMove could benefit you, please speak to a member of the Dales & Peaks team.
