A rippling brook meanders alongside the moss-covered stone wall, under the arched stone bridges, and through the tranquil garden of this adorable stone cottage in the picturesque village of Combs in the High Peak. Located close to the Combs Reservoir, with its rich bird life and many wandering footpaths, this historic village is conveniently located on the route between Chapel-en-le-Frith and Whaley Bridge, offering a gateway to the Peak District and all the attractions this national treasure has to offer. Although easily accessible via the A6, the village is neatly tucked between rolling hills, offering beautiful farmland views and a peaceful county lifestyle.

Millway is a three-bedroom detached home with just under half an acre of land. The home is built of Derbyshire stone and is believed to date back to the 16th century. The depth of the window ledges illustrates the solidness of the original construction, and the beautiful, exposed beams throughout the home represent the charm and character of the era. Incorporating many traditional features such as an ancient lead pane window thought to date back to the 1500s and an antique stove in a stone hearth, the home perfectly balances the old and the new, providing a family home ideally suited to modern living!

The large, bright kitchen has been fitted with new cabinetry and beautiful faux wooden tops and features down-lighting, offering a modern and functional room with enough space for a breakfast table. The spacious room comfortably incorporates an original Aga that warms the room during winter. A large double sink sits in front of a picture window, looking out on the terraced garden, allowing the morning sun to stream into the room. A large utility room adjacent to the kitchen provides ample space for appliances and storage and has a back door to the terrace. Also leading from the kitchen is a spacious dining room with a fireplace set in a stone feature wall framed by characteristic wooden beams. The current playroom located off the dining room offers a versatile space, while a separate study provides a work-from-home option. Both rooms could be repurposed to suit any requirement.

The living room has newly plastered walls, a fireplace incorporating a practical log burner, and flagstone flooring. It is dual-aspect with windows allowing the sun in throughout the day and double cottage-paned French doors open onto the terrace.

The generous hallway is an ideal second sitting room featuring a striking cast-iron stove. It provides access to the guest WC, an under-stair cupboard, and a broad staircase leading to the first floor.

Upstairs are three generous bedrooms and an exceptionally large family bathroom. The main bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom and a charming dressing room with a walk-in wardrobe. All bedrooms have feature beams and large windows offering views of the beautiful gardens and surrounding hills. The main bedroom also has a granite-framed fireplace and an open outside balcony, providing a private retreat to enjoy the unspoilt landscape.

Outside, the terrace is ideal for al fresco dining and incorporates a millstone table as a feature. There is a large log store and a double garage. With the very popular Beehive Inn a short walk away, this home is ideally located in the village and ticks all the boxes!
