Luxury Cottage In Beautiful Rural Derbyshire

Описание: Like A Luxurious John Smedley Knit, This Grade II Listed Cottage Is The Perfect Blend Of Old And New. With a hat-making heritage and close to the iconic knitwear brand HQ, this stunning architect designed cottage is bound to make a great first impression.

Brook Cottage and the nearby John Smedley luxury knitwear factory both date back to the late 18th century. And the link is very apt. As well as being fixtures in Lea Wood for over 240 years, both seamlessly combine luxurious, long lasting quality with an eye for the very best of modern design.

Originally built in 1790 as part of the old Hat Factory, this period home has been carefully extended and refurbished. Today, it stands as a unique blend of history and modern, architect designed comfort. Every room tells a story.

The heart of this family home is the spacious open-plan living/dining kitchen, located within the oak-framed, fully glazed rear extension.

It's a welcoming area where everyone will love getting together, brightened by natural light which floods in through the room-height side and rear aspect windows.

The high end kitchen is a chef's dream, fitted with Siemens appliances and a must-have Quooker tap.

It’s a surprisingly spacious cottage, offering plenty of room spread out over three floors.

The lounge is a warm and inviting room with a flagstone floor warmed by underfloor heating.

In contrast to the modern kitchen / dining room, it’s very much part of the old cottage. Period features include a multi-paned sash window, a stone fireplace with a double-sided wood-burning stove and exposed ceiling timbers with a feature exposed stone wall.

But at the same time it’s bang up to date, thanks to the state of the art TV and Cat 5 network connections.

The dining room is just as charming, with a continuation of the flagstone flooring warmed by underfloor heating, more exposed beams and a multi-paned sash window to the front.

On the first floor, there's a cosy double bedroom and a luxurious modern family bathroom with a ceramic tiled floor, warmed by underfloor heating.

The glass balustraded walkway, where you can look down to the dining room below, passes two built-in cupboards. One houses the hot water cylinder, the other is a laundry room.

A smaller guest bedroom sits at the rear with its own ensuite shower room.

The top floor has a small study and the main bedroom with an open-vaulted ceiling and exposed roof timbers. An open partition gives access to the ensuite shower room.

Outside, there’s a small stone walled front garden and at the rear there’s a remote controlled gate which gives access to a gravelled area providing plenty of off road parking. There’s a stone paved seating area and private lawned garden fully enclosed by a stone-built perimeter wall,

Located between the villages of Crich, Lea, and Holloway, and near the towns of Cromford, Wirksworth, and Matlock, Brook Cottage is conveniently placed.

There’s a local pub, a post office and a fabulous butcher in nearby Holloway, while nearby walks along the canal and the High Peak Trail are great for those who love the outdoors.

Brook Cottage is a fabulous example of how a talented architect is able to transform an historic Grade II listed property into a versatile, modern family home. It’s in a tucked away location on the edge of beautiful ancient woodland, the perfect hidden retreat that combines the best of old and new.
