Ivy Dene

About this property

Sitting in a prominent position in the traditional town of Holmfirth is this exceptional detached cottage, spanning over a multi-level layout and overlooking breath-taking views of the surrounding countryside. Ivy Dene is a lovely retreat, perfect for friends and family looking to explore the beautiful Holme Valley and Peak District National Park. Set over three floors, this welcoming abode bursts with charm and character throughout. Make yourself at home in the inviting kitchen/diner, cooking up your favourite meal to be enjoyed around the dining table over a bottle of wine. Continuing to impress is the delightful sitting room, where you could enjoy a snug film night on the Smart TV, or relax on the sofa and curl up with a good book. You will also find a handy cloakroom and access to a large balcony, which wraps around the property, overlooking the lawn below and far-reaching landscapes with steps down to the terrace below. An inviting king-size bedroom can be found on the lower-ground-floor, benefiting from its very own en-suite shower room. The remaining two bedrooms sit on the first floor, both king-size and with pretty décor. The first floor rooms have full access to a gorgeous shared bathroom, a relaxing space to unwind in a soothing bubble bath after a long day of exploration. You will also find a reading room with a selection of books and games. Down several steps to the lower-ground-floor is a patio area with seating next to a lush lawn, great for letting your furry friends run free whilst you sip on your morning coffee. If you can tear yourself away from the holiday home, better acquaint yourself with your surroundings and explore the picturesque town centre of Holmfirth, picking up some local delicacies at one of the nearby independent shops, before enjoying a drink and a bite to eat at one of the restaurants, wine bars or pubs. Soak up the beauty of the surrounding Holme Valley, home to the Last of The Summer Wine exhibition inside Compo's House and the sensational Picturedrome, a renowned live music venue where you can catch a variety of shows. Bring along your bicycles and head on the routes of the Tour de France 2014 and the Tour de Yorkshire starting in the town centre, an unforgettable experience for avid cyclists. Pop on your walking boots and spend a day at the Peak District National Park, filled to the brim with adventurous trails among enchanting forests, rugged moors, serene lakes and steep hills, as well as the Upper Derwent Valley where you can indulge in a romantic picnic at the Ladybower and Derwent reservoirs. More fun can be found in the neighbouring village of Castleton which hosts the fascinating Blue John Cavern, along with independent shops and welcoming pubs. Ivy Dene is the ideal spot for a relaxing escape to the countryside, with the bustling cities of Manchester, Sheffield and Huddersfield in reach.
