Positioned in a charming hamlet on the fringes of Diggle village is this detached, two bedroom home. Middle Holly Grove Cottage is a Grade II listed home dating back a number of centuries and lovingly modernised by the current owners which has created a walk-in property ideal for those looking for a rural lifestyle yet within easy reach of village amenities.
Benefitting from a recent extension to the ground floor, entrance is into a porch area with stable door into a useful hallway with ample cloaks storage space for muddy boots and coats. An additional stable door from the porch opens into the main accommodation which is open plan. Directly into a high specification kitchen/breakfast area with a range of fitted appliances which is open to the lounge, the centre focal point is the cast iron multi-fuel stove. The ground floor offers an effortless blend of period charm and modern finishing touches. Stairs rise to the first floor and there is a useful under stairs storage cupboard.
On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms of which both have dual aspects and fitted wardrobes. A modern shower suite benefits from underfloor heating and a heated backlit mirror. Access to the loft space is from the landing, with a pull down ladder into a half boarded space with power and light.
Finished to an impeccably high standard internally, finer finishing touches can be noted throughout including having granite work surfaces to the kitchen, underfloor heating to the shower room and having individually controlled electric Fischer radiators throughout.
Externally is one parking space to the side of the home with an electric vehicle charging point installed. The rear garden is south facing and of a generous size. Two prominent areas of note include a block paved patio seating area with storage shed and drystone boundary walls to the perimeter, beyond this is a large lawn with secure fencing and drystone walls. Both benefit from fantastic onward views to the surrounding village and further afield.
The current owners have also acquired an additional piece of land adjacent to the home which could be landscaped for further parking if required.
