Grindon, Leek

This superb character home is located in a beautiful Peak District National Park village, offering a wealth of countryside walks and a strong sense of community. The village features a charming church, a village hall hosting regular events-including a village fayre and the unique tradition of hedgehog rolling-and a ramblers’ café open on Saturdays. Additionally, there is a local oil-buying syndicate, and the nearest pub is located in the nearby village of Waterfall.

Whilst the property is not listed, it nonetheless exhibits a great wealth of character with fabulous exposed timbers, timber-boarded ceilings, exposed internal stonework, and fireplaces. However, a considered scheme of modernisation also delivers features such as underfloor heating, double glazing, en suite bathrooms, and the convenience of a full-fibre connection-ideal for working from home.

The front door opens into an entrance lobby with a period timber door featuring an inset stained glass Cavalier motif, leading directly into the semi-open-plan kitchen, dining, and sitting areas. These spaces boast lovely oak flooring with underfloor heating, superb exposed timbers, and beams.

The kitchen section retains its period charm, featuring an oil-fired Rayburn to the recess, which provides cooking, heating, and hot water. There are a range of fitted and freestanding base storage units surmounted by granite worktops with an inset Belfast sink, while the room opens up beautifully to a spacious dining area with exposed stonework and a sitting room with a brick fireplace and a large inset log burner.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful utility/boot room with storage, and a further utility room includes a sink unit, additional storage, a door to the rear garden, and a fitted cloakroom/WC.

The inner hall features an impressive period staircase with a spindled balustrade and storage beneath. From here, there is access to a separate sitting room/study, complete with exposed beams and a stone fireplace.

A large glazed conservatory or garden room provides versatile space with access to the garden, as well as a connection to the adjacent barn. The barn includes a mezzanine floor level, offering potential for various uses such as a home office, playroom, or annex.

The first-floor landing serves the spacious dual-aspect master bedroom, which includes a decorative fireplace and its own well-appointed en suite shower room.

There are two further spacious and characterful double bedrooms, along with an attractive family bathroom.

An enclosed staircase leads off the landing to the second floor, where there is a landing/bedroom five in addition to another adjacent bedroom. Both are served by a modern en suite bathroom.

The Cavalier sits on a lovely garden plot with dry-stone walling and wrought iron gates leading to a spacious driveway/parking area, flanked by an enclosed lawned garden with mature hedges. There is also a timber garage, along with two further timber garden sheds-one currently in use as a log store.

The front garden is attractively landscaped behind the dry-stone walling, with paved pathways and patios leading to a further lawned foregarden with enclosed hedging and trees. A higher-level garden features extensive lawns and a decorative patio area, perfect for outdoor relaxation.
