Available with vacant possession With over 2,000 sqft (200 sqm) of internal living space and sitting on a plot of over 0.75 acres, this stunning extended period property offers great internal living space for the whole family as well as large secluded gardens which include patios, lawns, play areas, a pond and green houses.

And if all that's not enough, there are 2 garages one large tandem double and an adjacent single.

Built in the latter half of the 19th century, Hopefield House is a fine example of Victorian architecture with meticulously maintained original features reminiscent of that era including large arched windows, high ceilings, ornate cornices, intricate ceiling roses and plaster detail as well as deep skirting boards and window sills.

The décor is striking with the use of rich colour in many of the rooms accentuating the period features and contrasting beautifully with the neutral colours in the kitchen / breakfast room and the garden room extension which have a distinct contemporary feel.

The house itself sits back from the road and entry is via an electric gate and up the drive to the garages at the side. Even here, the house is almost completely hidden behind trees.

With evergreen trees and shrubs along the boundaries, there is a wonderful air of seclusion even in winter.

Come round the front door, noting the fabulous gardens as you approach, and step into the entrance hall.

To the right is the living room which has an abundance of original features from the ornate fireplace (which is now home to a more contemporary style electric fire) to wonderful intricate details on the walls and ceiling.

On the other side is the family room which is a lovely cosy room with log burner. The kitchen / breakfast room is towards the back of the house and accessed from the hallway or the family room.

The style here is in sharp contrast to the reception rooms and is quite simply fabulous! A previous extension to the side has been opened up to create a stunning large light and airy garden room.

This combined open plan area has to be the heart of this home, perfectly designed for modern living.

The Shaker style kitchen has an excellent range of porcelain coloured base and wall units plus drawers that provide ample storage and the pale quartz worktops add a touch of cool elegance.

It is definitely a cook's kitchen with a large island for food prep, an integrated microwave and space for a large free-standing range (current range not included).

Other integrated appliances include a full height fridge and freezer and a dishwasher. If you're into cooking, baking or entertaining, or indeed all three, this could be your dream kitchen.

The breakfast bar can comfortably accommodate 4 bar stools so ideal for informal dining. For more formal entertaining, the garden room has more than enough room for a large dining table.

The 4 arched windows and 5 Velux windows flood the room with natural light and 2 pairs of sliding glass doors open onto the south-facing patio, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow perfect for summer gatherings and relaxed evenings.

Also downstairs is an office, bedroom 4, which is a double currently used as a playroom, and a large utility room. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms, one with en-suite, and the family bathroom.

The principal bedroom is a very large double with an excellent range of fitted wardrobes.

Like the living room below, it too enjoys large arched windows to two aspects making it feel light despite its rich colour.

An open archway leads to a recently refitted bathroom with an indulgent slipper bath. Bedroom 2 is also a large double and bedroom 3 a smaller double both with a very individual style!

The family bathroom has also been recently refitted and is more contemporary in style. Outside, the large gardens include lawns, trees, mature planting and a pond nestled amongst some shrubs.

To one side, there is plenty of space for swings or a trampoline. Behind the house are 3 large greenhouses offering plenty of scope to be more self-sufficient.

If you prefer to just sit and enjoy the garden, then the south facing patio, just outside the garden room, is the perfect place.

Here you can enjoy a cuppa in the sunshine or maybe a glass or two in the evening as you unwind after a busy day.

Please note that the first part of the driveway is shared with the neighbouring property. All services are connected to the mains.

Hopefield House is located in the centre of Hade Edge village on the southern edge of the Holme Valley.

With Peak Disctrict woodland and open countryside almost on the doorstep, it's the perfect location if you love walking and hiking.
