An exquisite stone hideaway set in rural surroundings close to Warmfield, this chic retreat is perfect for groups of adult friends or couples sharing. Sleeping four guests across two charming bedrooms, the property is just 2 miles from Normanton and 4.5 miles from Wakefield. Stride out on scenic walks across West Yorkshire or bring your bikes and explore from the saddle – you’ll find secure bike storage in the garden. The Trans Pennine Trail runs nearby, and Walton Country Park is just 4 miles away. Head into Wakefield to explore the cathedral and the Hepworth art museum or visit Pontefract (7 miles) to see its castle ruins and watch the races. Uncover the National Trust’s Nostell (4 miles), with its splendid Georgian house and landscaped gardens, or make a beeline for the Peak District (21 miles), stopping in at Holmfirth (20 miles), where Last of the Summer Wine was famously filmed.
Wander inside to find bright and airy accommodation with a stylish finish and a high level of comfort. At the heart of the ground floor is the exceptional open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, which has been designed with flair. Sink back into the plush velvet seating as the wood burner throws out a cosy glow and you surf the channels on the Smart TV. Choose a book from the sideboard to browse as you sip freshly made coffee from the machine. Whip up tasty meals with Yorkshire delicacies in the sleek kitchen area, then set the elegant dining table for your holiday feast. There is also a handy utility room downstairs, plus a WC. Both gorgeous bedrooms are up on the first floor of the cottage. Choose from a master double and a smaller double bedroom, each boasting sloped ceilings and ample built-in storage. The bathroom, which offers the choice of either a long soak in the tub or a refreshing shower, completes the property’s interior.
Swing open the patio doors from the living space and step out to your peaceful, enclosed garden. A covered patio with a picnic bench and charcoal BBQ invites quiet morning coffees and al fresco evening meals, while secure bike storage makes touring the region on two wheels easy. Completing the property is private off-road parking for up to three cars.
