Rock Lane, Slaithwaite, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, HD7

A truly distinctive period home, combining the charm and craftsmanship of a Grade II listed cottage with a secluded waterside setting, private garden and off-road parking – all within easy reach of the heart of Slaithwaite. EPC - EXEMPT

Tucked away along the little-known and wonderfully secluded Rock Lane, this beautifully presented Grade II listed cottage offers an exceptional blend of historic character, generous accommodation and a peaceful setting, while remaining within easy reach of the thriving village of Slaithwaite and its railway station.

The property has an abundance of period charm, with exposed beams, mullioned windows, stone flagged flooring and a substantial stone fireplace creating a wonderful sense of history throughout. These original features are complemented by tasteful, understated décor, resulting in a home which feels both characterful and comfortable.

A useful entrance porch opens into the impressive living room, a particularly inviting space with an extensive arrangement of exposed ceiling timbers and a striking stone fireplace housing a wood-burning stove. At approximately 15' x 17'11", the room provides ample space for both relaxing and entertaining, with the staircase rising to the first floor.

The adjoining kitchen and dining room is equally full of character, featuring a beautiful stone flagged floor and further exposed beams. The fitted kitchen is complemented by plenty of space for a family dining table, making this a sociable room at the heart of the home. Beyond the kitchen is a separate utility room, providing valuable additional practical space.

Upstairs, the character continues with a spacious landing and further exposed timber detailing. There are three bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom with an impressive exposed beam and attractive mullioned windows. The second bedroom is another excellent double, while the third provides a versatile single bedroom, nursery or home office. A well-proportioned bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.

Externally, the setting is a particularly appealing feature of the property. The enclosed garden sits above the brook, surrounded by mature trees and greenery which create a wonderfully private and tranquil feel. A paved seating terrace provides an ideal spot for outdoor dining and entertaining, with the adjoining lawn offering further space to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

Unusually for a cottage of this style and setting, the property also benefits from a private driveway providing off-road parking for two vehicles.
