Church Street, Dethick

Located at the heart of Holloway village is this exceptional and historic family home, set over four floors and offering versatile accommodation, period charm and stylish interiors. Originally built in the late 19th century by a London architect, Nightingale House has served many roles in the community, including a draper’s shop, a bank, an art gallery and, most notably, the village reading rooms, which were funded by the Nightingale family — hence the name of the house. It has been thoughtfully restored by the current owners into the stunning residence it is today, seamlessly blending its rich heritage with elegant, contemporary design to create a home of scale, character and flexibility. The accommodation includes a welcoming entrance hall, spacious guest cloakroom, a formal dining room, a dual-aspect sitting room, together with a stunning dining kitchen which forms the heart of the home. On the first floor are four double bedrooms, one with en suite facilities, and a family bathroom, while the second floor offers a generous attic bedroom with games and music area, enjoying far-reaching views. The lower ground floor provides an excellent self-contained annexe with its own entrance, while also being accessible from the main house, making it ideal for guest accommodation or perfectly suited for multi-generational living. Externally, iron gates open onto a large cobbled courtyard garden, while a two-storey detached garage offers further scope for conversion, subject to planning consent. This unique and historic property combines scale, flexibility and timeless style, and must be viewed internally to be fully appreciated.
