Description
About Wayside Cottage
A grade II listed double fronted cottage of stone-built construction beneath a stone slate roof. The property is believed to have formerly been two cottages, which have long since been combined into a single dwelling. The older of the cottages is believed to date back to the early eighteenth century, and there is a date of 1716 carved into the wooden lintel above the entrance door. There are a great many other original details to be found within the building with exposed stonework and timbers complimented by quality modern fixtures and fittings.
The property is entered through a wooden entrance door into an entrance lobby which has doors into the 2 reception rooms. To the right is the main lounge which is of excellent proportions and features mullioned windows to the front, beams to the ceiling and a feature fireplace with log burning stove. Stairs from here lead to the first floor and there is also a door into the kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with an excellent range of fitted units with composite worksurfaces – it is in turn open plan to the dining area where there is a door out to the rear garden, rooflights to the ceiling and a generous utility cupboard with sliding doors. The ground floor is completed by the snug room, which is in turn partly open plan to the dining area and again features a stone fireplace with log burning stove and mullioned windows to the front.
Moving upstairs there is some wonderful, exposed stonework on display to the landing which provides access to the 3 double bedrooms. Bedroom 1 is of excellent proportions and has its own en-suite shower room. The second bedroom is again a good size with 2 windows to the front and fitted wardrobes. Bedroom 3 is positioned to the rear and features a bank of windows enjoying the views – it is a double sized room but currently used as a study. Finally, the house bathroom is a real treat – once again well-proportioned and featuring a quality 4 piece suite.
Externally, there is a pleasant garden to the rear with lawns, borders, paved seating area and detached single garage, which is accessed via a shared driveway from the end of the row.
The cottage sits within a conservation area in the highly sought after village of Upperthong. Local amenities include the popular village pub, cricket club, village hall and there are wonderful walks to be enjoyed from the doorstep, out into the surrounding countryside. The centre of Holmfirth is also just over a mile away with its wide variety of independent shops, bars, restaurants and other businesses.
