Set about 1.5 miles from the charming village of Golcar, this stunning property makes the perfect getaway for large families and groups of friends. Around the corner is an excellent farm shop with a cafe, while in the village, you’ll find pretty streets lined with former weavers’ cottages, plus a selection of independent shops, pubs and places to eat. Just 1 mile away, the renowned Titanic Spa offers the chance of a pampering treatment during your holiday. Explore pretty Slaithwaite (pronounced ‘Slawit’), 2.5 miles away, where there’s a serene canal for peaceful strolls and lots of interesting shops and lovely cafes. From Marsden, 4.5 miles away, you can head out on scenic walking or cycling trails, or explore the unique Standedge Tunnel, Britain’s longest, deepest and highest canal tunnel. Huddersfield is also 4.5 miles away, a buzzy market town with an array of independent boutiques and great places to eat and drink.
The handsome stone property has been thoughtfully renovated to combine original features – such as rustic beams and stone-mullion windows – with an array of modern comforts and amenities. Wander into the long, open-plan living space, which features a sunroom extension at the far end, where floor-to-ceiling glazing allows you to fully appreciate the gorgeous rural views as you relax in the plush seating. The handsome, painted kitchen includes everything the chef will need to whip up tasty treats, with the luxury of a wine cooler too, plus an American-style fridge/freezer in the utility room. Sit down to eat together in the dining area, where there’s plenty of space at the sturdy table. After supper, anyone feeling energetic might want to set up a game of pool at the table in the lounge (three steps up). Alternatively, snuggle into the soft seating and enjoy your favourite shows on the Smart TV. On this level, there’s also a shower room and WC. All four bedrooms are on the first floor with rugged beams and some exposed stonework, plus high-quality furnishings and handsome linens. The family bedroom also has the advantage of an en-suite shower room, while the others share a stunning bathroom with a contemporary, free-standing bath and separate shower.
Step outside to take advantage of the enclosed garden, where there’s a large lawn as well as a patio with dining furniture – ideal for everything from morning coffee to sundowners or full al fresco meals. The icing on the cake is a wonderful hot tub under a sheltering gazebo, where you can soak tired limbs after exciting days of exploring outdoors. Making arrivals and departures easy, you’ll have private parking for four cars.
