Main Street, Kniveton, DE6

BENNET SAMWAYS are delighted to offer for sale this beautifully renovated and characterful three bedroom semi-detached stone cottage, complete with an adjoining self-contained one bedroom holiday cottage, situated in the heart of the highly desirable Derbyshire Dales village of Kniveton. Offering an exceptional blend of traditional charm and contemporary living, this impressive home has been thoughtfully refurbished to a high standard throughout, with versatile accommodation ideal for multi-generational living, holiday letting or accommodating a dependant relative. With approximately 2,000sq.ft. of gross internal accommodation, a substantial detached garage and beautifully landscaped gardens, this is a rather special and rarely available opportunity.

Interior - The main cottage offers a wonderful combination of character features, generous proportions and stylish modern finishes, creating a home that is both welcoming and practical.
Undoubtedly one of the standout features is the magnificent open-plan kitchen/living area, extending to approximately 34ft in length and providing an exceptional space for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with an extensive range of fitted cabinets complemented by sleek white quartz-effect worktops and an impressive central island, providing additional preparation space and a natural gathering point for family and friends. Appliances include a range cooker with extractor fan, integrated microwave and space for an American-style fridge/freezer. A particularly attractive feature is the wood-effect tiled flooring laid in a traditional herringbone pattern, adding warmth and character to this stunning room. A feature brick fireplace housing a log-burning stove creates a wonderful focal point, bringing together the charm of a country cottage with the convenience of modern open-plan living. The generous proportions allow for comfortable dining and relaxed seating areas, making this a wonderfully sociable space at the heart of the home. A separate utility room provides further practicality.
On the first floor, the accommodation continues to impress with a magnificent sitting room featuring a beautiful vaulted ceiling, creating a tremendous sense of height, space and character. This is a particularly inviting reception room, offering a more peaceful retreat away from the main living accommodation. The master bedroom is another delightful feature of the property, enjoying a partially vaulted ceiling and a luxurious ensuite shower room. The beautifully appointed family bathroom is equally impressive, featuring a stunning freestanding-style bath and separate shower enclosure. A games room, or an ideal study for those home workers. A further bedroom is situated on this floor, with an additional bedroom located on the second floor. Both have been thoughtfully fitted with cabin-style beds, creating charming and practical children's bedrooms. These could be removed if preferred, allowing the rooms to be adapted to suit individual requirements.

Adjoining Holiday Cottage / Annexe - A particularly exciting and unusual feature of this property is the adjoining self-contained one bedroom cottage, offering tremendous versatility and the potential for a variety of uses.
Currently arranged as holiday accommodation, it provides an excellent opportunity for those wishing to generate supplementary income, accommodate visiting family and friends or provide independent living space for a dependant relative.
The accommodation is arranged on the ground floor and includes a charming living room featuring a fireplace with log-burning stove, creating a wonderfully cosy atmosphere. There is a compact fitted kitchenette, but perhaps the most intriguing feature is the original well, which has been carefully preserved beneath a glazed cover and illuminated to create a truly unique talking point. This delightful feature celebrates the history and character of the building whilst providing something rather special for guests to enjoy. The double bedroom benefits from its own fitted ensuite shower room, completing the self-contained accommodation.
The ability to offer separate accommodation alongside the main residence is a significant advantage, particularly for buyers seeking a flexible lifestyle property with potential holiday letting opportunities or multi-generational living arrangements.

Exterior - The property is approached via a generous driveway providing ample off-road parking, with gated access continuing alongside the cottage to a substantial recently constructed detached garage. The garage is a particularly useful addition, offering excellent space for vehicles, storage or hobbies, depending upon individual requirements. To the rear, the landscaped garden provides a wonderful setting in which to relax and entertain. Thoughtfully arranged with attractive planting and a generous seating area, it offers an inviting outdoor space with Yorkshire stone patio for summer dining, barbecues and gatherings with family and friends.

Owner's perspective - "We’ve poured a lot of heart and energy into making this house our home. Every change we made was with the idea that we’d be here for years, so it’s been designed to grow with us and our family. One of our favourite things is its quirky layout as it gives the place so much personality and makes it feel completely unique."
