About this property

Boasting a stunning and thoughtful finish throughout, this charming property provides guests with a warm and inviting retreat whilst exploring the picturesque Derbyshire countryside. Built in the 1700s for the workers at the Strutt family's mills, this terraced cottage is located on a renowned cobbled street, with elegant dark green and cream paintwork to the majority of properties, in the heart of the award-winning market town of Belper. At the centre of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site, it’s a town steeped in rich industrial heritage and creative culture. Meander through its cobbled streets to find independent boutiques, delicious eateries and historic sites aplenty. The North Mill and visitor centre makes for an educational day out, whilst the Belper River Gardens is a tranquil space amongst nature whatever the season, with rowing boats available for hire during the summer months. Situated just south of the Peak District National Park you can explore the nearby sights of Matlock (10mls) and Bakewell (18mls) with absolute ease.

This deceptively spacious cottage, renovated and furnished to an incredibly high standard, comprises:

Entrance Hall: with plenty of space to store coats, boots and shoes.

Lounge: stylishly furnished with sofa, two armchairs, ottoman, contemporary wood burning stove (first basket of logs provided) set into the original fireplace with its feature stone surround, Smart TV and DVD player, books and games.

Kitchen: well-fitted and equipped, with electric oven, gas hob, integrated dishwasher, fridge freezer and washing machine, microwave, air fryer, wine cooler, Nespresso Vertuo coffee machine and milk frother; two slim breakfast bar stools and a range of cookery books.

Dining Room: converted from a former outhouse extension into a smart contemporary space, furnished with bespoke fitted seating, hand-made dining table and chairs; the rear door leads out from here to the garden. There is also a dining mat for the dog!

A door in the corner of the kitchen hides the staircase to the first floor:

Bedroom 1: with quality king-size bed, fitted wardrobes and a window to the rear of the property.

Bedroom 2: with double bed and clothes storage.

Bedroom 3: with single bed and clothes storage.

Family Bathroom: with shower over the bath, WC and basin.

Outside: is a long enclosed garden in two sections: a large patio area with garden furniture and barbecue available, and a lawned garden with pear tree. A gate takes you onto a shared path, a shortcut through the cobbled streets to the centre of town.

Parking: on the street to the front of the property (subject to availability).

      Olive’s Place is simply wonderful. It was immaculate on arrival, and was a great place to stay with everything we needed for the week. We had a couple of minor queries which the owner was really quick to respond to, and the location - 5 mins from the centre of Belper - is a great base for exploring both locally and wider. We’d happily move in permanently, but since thats’s not an option, we’ll definitely be returning as guests :)

      We had a fantastic few days at Olive's Place. Rob the owner was in touch ahead of our stay and was extremely helpful throughout. The property itself is very nice and very well equipped with everything you could need, and the extra touches the owners have added really made for a great stay. Lovely enclosed garden at the back great for the dog; Belper itself a short walk away with a good choice of places to eat and drink. Highly recommended - will definitely return !
