Within just a short walk of Slaithwaite village centre is this gorgeous Grade II listed weavers’ cottage which dates back to the early 1800s and proudly displays many original features including mullioned windows, impressive roof timbers, fireplaces, and exposed stonework. The character and charm of this wonderful home sit nicely alongside more modern conveniences such as gas fired central heating, intruder alarm, a very recently installed hi-spec kitchen, and stylish bathroom suite. The accommodation is laid out over 3 levels briefly comprising a large lounge/diner, kitchen, 3 bedrooms, and bathroom. Externally, it has a lovely cottage garden to the front, access to an external store, and a delightful enclosed courtyard at the rear. This is a great location within walking distance of Slaithwaite village offering an array of shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants, as well as a train station and excellent bus service.
