Upper Flight Stack, Sawood Lane, Oxenhope, BD22 9SP

A DREAM COTTAGE IN BRONTË COUNTRY WITH ROLLING VIEWS AND TIMELESS CHARM

Nestled in the heart of Oxenhope, part of the celebrated Brontë Country, Upper Flight Stack is a quintessential two-bedroom stone-built cottage brimming with period charm. Windows throughout capture breathtaking, uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside, providing a sense of peace that is as rare as it is restorative.

Internally, the home comprises an inviting entrance hallway, lounge, farmhouse kitchen, and utility room on the ground floor. Upstairs, a principal bedroom with ensuite, a second double bedroom, a house bathroom, and a small storeroom offer comfort and functionality.

Externally, the property enjoys a gated driveway for two cars, complete with an EV charging point, and a low-maintenance, south-facing garden with Yorkshire stone flagged patio, perfectly positioned to soak in the uninterrupted views.

“The curlews are magical. We hear them calling to each other across the moor - through the early-morning mist—it’s ethereal. The peace and quiet here is restorative, and that view… plus, there are the most wonderful walks.” - Current homeowner
