This charming stone built ‘through-by-light’ cottage occupies a delightful location within this small semi-rural hamlet on the hillside between Slaithwaite and Meltham. It’s countryside setting makes this an ideal purchase for those who enjoy the outdoors with access to numerous public footpaths, nearby Blackmoorfoot reservoir, and if you prefer a more challenging terrain, the rugged landscapes of the Pennine hills are only a short walk away. The property itself was fully modernised just a few years ago and now has a well-designed interior laid out over 3 floors, and benefits from gas fired central heating, double glazing, and ample storage. Externally, you will find a setted parking bay, and a stone flagged terrace from where you can sit and enjoy views over lovely surroundings. You will find a whole range of shops and amenities in any of the nearby villages of Slaithwaite, Marsden & Meltham.
