Overview
About Cote
Cote was built in the early 1800’s. On the edge of the hamlet of Choppards, (founded by Robert de Chobard in 1313) it lies in the river Ribble valley, which connects Holmestyes Reservoir to the village of Holmfirth. The row of cottages, with a separate stables/hayloft housed families of handloom weavers, stone delvers and farmers, who both lived and worked here. They raised sheep and cattle, grew potatoes, wove woollen cloth and grubbed for stone on the surrounding heather-covered hillsides.
By the 1970’s much of the property was derelict, part of the roof was missing and hens lived in one cottage! First renovated in 1985, the property was substantially re-built and extended, incorporating damp proofing, insulation, and central heating. The character was retained, with careful attention to detail, matching materials, stone coursing and wooden beams. Fireplaces and doors were sourced from architectural antiques to restore historic elements of the interior.
In the late 1980’s the stable area was re-designed and extended to create garaging, washroom and large upper floor loft. In 2015 this area was linked to the main house with a new single-storey large garden/entertaining room and separate hobby room/office. This space has underfloor heating and is full of light. It feels to bring the garden inside, and is a bright lovely space, even on gloomy winter days. Combined with a snug sitting room, spacious dining kitchen, 3 bedrooms and an additional reception room above the garage creating a 4th bedroom or additional reception room. This part of the house makes it ideal for multi-generational living, and there could be the opportunity to create an annexe.
Externally there is a grazing field and a wooden field house which was created in 2015 for use as an art/office space, this is below the copse of trees, overlooking the valley.
