Overview
A CHARACTERFUL FOUR BEDROOM SEMI-DETACHED COTTAGE AT THE HEART OF A SOUGHT AFTER VILLAGE, OVERLOOKING THE DERWENT VALLEY.
Description
Standing centrally to this highly regarded Derbyshire Dales village, a deceptively spacious semi-detached cottage. The original white rendered property has seen substantial extensions to the side and rear, in attractive natural stone, and now offers generously proportioned family accommodation to include two reception rooms, breakfast kitchen and utility / shower room to the ground floor, four double bedrooms and bathroom to the first floor, and the inclusion of additional lined attic rooms, which provide useful ancillary space. There is the added benefit of an easily managed garden, off street parking, enclosed log store and recently added garden studio.
Holloway is most sought after for its access to countryside, a thriving community with local amenities and well respected primary school. Good road communications lead to the neighbouring Matlock (4 miles), Alfreton (6 miles), Chesterfield (10 miles), whilst the delights of the surrounding Derbyshire Dales and Peak District countryside are also close at hand.
