An attractive 2 bedroomed stone-built cottage located in the little hamlet of Upper Holme occupying an idyllic countryside setting up on the hillside en route to the well-regarded Rose & Crown Inn up at Cop Hill. The cottage will benefit in time from some cosmetic improvements but offers you scope to put your own ideas into practice. It enjoys some absolutely breathtaking views over the surrounding countryside and far beyond. Externally, there is a small area to the front where you could sit out, parking on the land opposite, and good sized low maintenance garden to the rear. The property is within a short drive of the village centre where you will find a train station giving access to Leeds or Manchester, and there is an array of independent shops, bars, cafes, and restaurants.
