About this property
Resting in the quiet village of Hope, within the spectacular Peak District National Park, is this terraced, Grade 2 listed three-storey cottage full of character, Ebenezer House.

Be welcomed by the striking tiles leading you to a contemporary kitchen with Farrow & Ball colours, granite work tops, and everything you need for rustling up home-cooked meals, including a gas cooker and dishwasher. Gather your loved ones in the spacious living/dining room with Scandinavian-style furnishings paired with an original fireplace and exposed beams; dine at the table for eight followed by a relaxing seat on the large, sumptuous corner sofa in front of the TV. If you'd prefer some peace and quiet, retreat to the snug with a good book or your choice on the TV! Summer evenings can be spent in your private garden with plenty of lawn space and outdoor seating to unwind with a cold beverage. After the day's adventures, find a washing machine in the cellar's utility, complete with freezer and extra fridge to store your drinks! Climb the stairs to freshen up in the bathroom with a bath and shower over or in the sleek shower room, both finished to a high standard. You'll find four bedrooms as thoughtfully appointed as the rest of Ebenezer House, consisting of a three king-size doubles, one of which is zip/link and can be twin on request, and a single to suit families, couples, and friends alike.
