Holly Cottage

About this property

Holly Cottage is an impressive Grade II listed cottage in Totley, Sheffield, offering a character-rich setting framed by open beams and hardwood floors. Originally part of Totley Hall Farmhouse, the cottage dates back to 1780 and is closely linked to the wider Totley Hall estate, whose origins reach as far back as the 17th century. This heritage reveals itself the moment you step inside, where open beams and hardwood floors speak quietly of the building’s agricultural past, now thoughtfully reimagined for a high-quality holiday stay. Wander through to the sitting room and settle into the slower rhythm of holiday time, whether that means a film on the Smart TV or a board game while the white woodburning stove flickers nearby.

When appetites call, the kitchen/diner makes self-catering feel part of the break, with plenty on hand for lazy breakfasts, packed lunches for the hills, and lingering suppers at the table. A practical utility keeps outdoor layers and day-trip bits neatly out of the way, while a handy cloakroom completes the ground floor. Upstairs, two inviting bedrooms provide a flexible layout for a small family or friends, while a shower room offers an easy start after crisp mornings outdoors. Outside, enjoy an enclosed courtyard, furnished for alfresco mugs of coffee and evening drinks, with useful bike storage for riders keen to explore.

From the doorstep, Totley and neighbouring Dore Village present a rich and varied mix of shops, restaurants, societies, and interest groups, with several pubs and restaurants within walking distance. Excellent transport links, including Dore and Totley railway station on the Hope Valley Line, connect Sheffield and Manchester and open up the wider Peak District. The Peak District National Park lies close by, drawing hikers, trail runners, mountain bikers, and artists with its dramatic landscapes and wildlife. Within a short radius, Chatsworth House stands as one of the area’s greatest draws, offering grand interiors, gardens, and parkland walks. Bakewell brings classic market-town charm and its famous Bakewell Tart, while Castleton is renowned for its caves and atmospheric concerts.

With Sheffield to the north and Buxton to the west, days out are effortlessly varied, before returning to the enduring character of Holly Cottage.

Resting on the edge of the Peak District National Park, situated southwest of the City of Sheffield is the bustling suburb of Totley. Within the suburb you will find a vast array of amenities, including quality bars, eateries and shops. Further afield is the vibrant city of Sheffield which houses a larger selection of amenities and a thriving culture with an award-winning theatre, festivals and the Winter Garden which houses over 2,500 plants from around the world. Head to the backdrop of Totley, the Peak District National Park, where you will find a vast array of opportunities for walking and cycling amidst the breath-taking scenery of the moorland and the rolling dales. Look forward to exploring the number of pretty villages and towns including Bakewell, Matlock and Hope as well as the surrounding attractions. Such attractions include the stately home of Chatsworth House, where you will find opportunities to explore the grand building and its 105-acre gardens filled with historic and modern waterworks and sculptures. Alternatively, a short car journey will find you at the Stuart mansion, Bolsover Castle or explore some of the best show caverns in the country which includes the famous Blue John Cavern where you can catch a glimpse of Derbyshire’s semi-precious mineral. Totley is a superb base for exploring this glorious part of the county.
