Owner's perspective - Harvey Cottage has been a very happy family home for us for the last 18 years. It’s been a labour of love restoring the character and period features of this beautifully unique property. We have been lucky to enjoy the wraparound, fabulous garden space, particularly for our wedding reception and have benefitted from the short (and flat) 5 minute walk to town, proximity to Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School plus walks in the beautiful Derbyshire Dales from just over the road. We will be sad to leave, but we know that this house will be extremely loved by whoever lives here next.
