Simmondley Village, Glossop

Offered for sale with no onward chain, this stunning Georgian double fronted Grade ll listed detached property sits in generous grounds within the sought after conservation area of Simmondley Village.
In Further Detail
There is so much to enjoy about this gorgeous home. Externally, all of the hallmarks of Georgian architecture are visible, whilst internally the present owners have ensured that much of the original features have either been retained or enhanced in a nature sympathetic to the period. Furthermore, the mature gardens have been carefully maintained through the years and compliment the property beautifully.

The accommodation in further detail at ground floor level include a large open plan dining kitchen, a principal reception room and a separate lounge/snug, plus a study, store room, a cloaks/utility with WC and a generous entrance hall and vestibule.

At first floor level there are four double bedrooms, two en-suites and a family bathroom. All bathroom fixtures and fittings are of a very high standard indeed, with the larger of the two en-suites the most recently fitted.

Externally, the beautifully arranged gardens include a generous forecourt area with side access to the rear gardens, where you will find a large outdoor seating area set beneath mature lawns and herbaceous borders. Access off Old Road at the rear takes you to a driveway and a detached garage which is currently used as a home gymnasium.

A stunning home, much improved from purchase by the present owners and well worthy of further consideration.


The Accommodation - Ground Floor
The entrance hall extends into a rear lobby which combined takes you from the front of the property to the rear gardens. The hallway features a herringbone wooden floor, column radiator and stairs to the first floor landing. The principal reception room is comfortably spacious. Two tone grey walls and ceilings simultaneously add light and coziness, as do the dual aspect windows and multi-fuel stove, which is backed up by two column radiators. Stunning ceiling coving and a ceiling rose gives a subtle nod to the original architecture. On the opposite side of the hallway is a more modest lounge/snug that also features dual aspect windows and a multi-fuel stove.

The standout room for many on the ground floor will be the sumptuous dining kitchen. A stunning space for all of the family to come together and great for entertaining guests. Bespoke wall, base and island units are finished in twin tones and all feature granite work surfaces over. Integrated appliances include a fridge freezer, a dishwasher and a microwave, whilst there is also space for a range oven with a timber mantle over. Pendant lights sit over the dining spaces and are complemented by recessed led ceiling lights. There is also a stunning York stone floor, dual aspect windows and column radiators.

Completing the ground floor accommodation are a study featuring a deep storage closet and a utility cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin.
The Accommodation - First Floor
There are four genuine double bedrooms and three bathrooms at first floor level, all accessible from the landing that features a rear facing window overlooking the rear gardens.

Part of the challenge here is picking your favourite room. The two larger bedrooms sit on the right hand side of the property. The front facing bedroom features dual aspect windows overlooking the village, plus a built-in storage cupboard, whilst the bedroom facing the rear is an almost identical size and enjoys aspects over the rear gardens. On the opposite side of the landing are two en-suite bedrooms with a very different feel to them. The front facing bedroom features a walk-in wardrobe and a compact en-suite that still features a good sized shower, wash basin and WC. Nestled in the middle of the first floor is the final bedroom that benefits from a spacious and superbly appointed en-suite. The coordinated wall and floor tiles are absolutely stunning, as is the floating vanity unit and top mounted wash basin. Finishing off the en-suite are a large walk-in shower with recessed shelf and a close coupled WC.

Completing the accommodation is the principal family bathroom, the centrepiece of which is the cast-iron roll top bath set against the backdrop of a wood panelled wall. There is also a corner shower cubicle, a pedestal wash hand basin and a high flush WC.


Grounds and Location
Simmondley Village is a small hamlet of properties on the outskirts of Glossop. For avid walkers and lovers of the great outdoors there is almost immediate access into the nearby open countryside, plus a highly thought of pub/restaurant in The Hare and Hounds at the end of the lane. On a practical level there is convenient access into Glossop and over into Charlesworth and a choice of three fairly accessible railway stations at Glossop, Broadbottom and Dinting. Whilst there are a wide range of amenities in Glossop itself, Simmondley is well catered for with a Post Office, Pharmacy, Doctors Surgery and a Co-Op Local.

The property itself sits in generous grounds and enjoys an elevated position that allows for a great deal of privacy at both the front and rear. Behind the front boundary wall with its wrought-iron spear tipped railings and gates are steps and a pathway to the front door with grassed lawns either side behind which is a dwarf-stone wall and stone paved forecourt area which extends around to the side and rear into the gorgeous alfresco outdoor dining area. This spacious and very private space is amazing in the nicer weather and lighter evenings and mornings and sits conveniently behind the kitchen. Elevated above this area and expanding outwards to both sides are mature gardens comprising grassed lawns and herbaceous borders, plus access to the driveway and the aforementioned detached garage.
