The Hollow, Holloway, Matlock

Having been taken 'back to brick' and fully renovated, this home has been reconfigured and upgraded to an exceptional standard. Virtually everything in the home is new including the kitchen, bathroom, flooring, staircase and internal doors. The home also has a long south-facing garden and breathtaking panoramic views to the hills to the south.

On the ground floor, the sitting room leads through to the dining kitchen, which is now larger than before, thanks to moving the staircase. On the first floor, the main bedroom is also larger and has a clever shoji wall (a Japanese wall made of sliding translucent panels, which can open up the landing and staircase), stylish new bathroom and second bedroom.

At the front of the home is a terrace, with space for seating and dining, from where you can drink in the magnificent views. Steps lead down to the long garden, with a shed at the bottom included in the sale.

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, renowned local butcher's Robin Maycock and Chase cafe, popular with walkers and cyclists. Neighbouring village Lea has the wonderful Jug and Glass pub (venue for the Bricks + Mortar Christmas meal!) and famous Rhododendron Gardens and tea room. There are walking and cycling routes in all directions from the village. Cromford and Whatstandwell rail stations are at the bottom of the hill, with direct trains to Matlock, Derby, Nottingham, Lincoln and on to the seaside town of Cleethorpes. Derby, Nottingham and Sheffield are all within a one hour commute, with the A6 running close by the village too.

Front Of The Home - Located on a quiet lane in this charming, historic village, the home sits at the end of a row of just four stone-built terraced houses. Flagstone paving in front has space for storage and also for outdoor seating and dining. It's a wonderful, peaceful spot from which to enjoy the views from this elevated position. The waist-high stone wall has an opening through to the front garden. There is an outside tap, power points and external lighting.

Sitting Room - 3.57 x 3.55 (11'8" x 11'7") - Enter the home through the half-glazed composite front door with chrome handle and letterbox. Natural light pours into this room through the large south-facing double-glazed window, where the deep sill clearly demonstrates the thickness of the walls. The room has flagstone flooring, recessed ceiling spotlights, a radiator and deep recessed cupboard with shelving. The substantial fireplace has stone jambs, plinth and hearth and houses a large 'Esse' cast iron multifuel burner and flue.

The original staircase was moved from the kitchen and is now on the right of this room, with bespoke fitted storage beneath. An open entrance with exposed stone and oak beam lead through to the dining kitchen.

Dining Kitchen - 3.57 x 2.2 (11'8" x 7'2") - Having been completely revamped, the removal of the stairs has created space for a 2-4 seater dining table on the right. The high quality fitted kitchen has a U-shaped solid pine worktop with space and plumbing below for a washing machine, refrigerator and freezer. At the right-hand end is an integral Hotpoint dishwasher. The worktop has subway brick-style tiled splashbacks and, above, a glass-framed display cabinet on the left and cutlery rack on the right. Two windows on that side bring natural light in.

The cooker can be included in the sale. The room also includes a radiator, recessed ceiling spotlights and flagstone flooring.

Stairs To First Floor Landing - Carpeted stairs with a banister on the left lead up to the first floor landing. The sliding pocket solid oak door leads into the bathroom and bevelled pine doors with iron latches open into the two bedrooms. Overhead is a loft hatch with pull-down ladder. The loft is boarded and has power, lighting and a Worcester boiler.

Bedroom One - 3.7 x 3.65 (12'1" x 11'11") - We love the Japanese-style shoji wall - a series of translucent sliding panels which can be moved to create an open space over the stairs to bring light to the landing. This room is now wider and has two south-facing windows and an additional alcove, providing extra space for furniture. The views are wonderful, with an uninterrupted vista across the valley to the wooded hillsides in the distance. The right-hand window sill is deep enough for a window seat. The room is carpeted and has a radiator and high ceiling with light fitting.

Bathroom - 1.57 x 1.45 (5'1" x 4'9") - This stunning new room has a bath with heritage-style chrome mixer tap and mains-fed shower with monsoon shower head and separate hand-held attachment. The sleek modern vanity unit has a Roca curved rectangular ceramic sink with chrome mixer tap. There is a ceramic WC, space-saving chrome heated towel rail, recessed ceiling spotlights, extractor fan and vinyl floor. The windows are mostly tiled and there is a small window and wall-mounted mirrored cabinet with lighting.

Bedroom Two - 2.59 x 2.12 (8'5" x 6'11") - Currently a home office, this room could be a single bedroom or nursery. It is carpeted and has a radiator, ceiling light fitting and window.

Front Garden - Steps run down the right-hand side of the garden, with a gently sloping lawn broken up into several sections. A dry stone wall forms the left-hand boundary and a timber picket fence the right. There is plenty of scope to design the garden to suit your own taste and purpose - and there is a large shed at the bottom, included in the sale. This is a serene, large garden in which to relax.
