A Countryside Home with Something Rather Special

What if your next home offered breathtaking countryside views, a beautiful south-facing balcony and its very own established holiday let?

Welcome to Keelham Cottage.

Occupying a wonderful elevated position above Todmorden, this attractive detached stone cottage combines traditional character with a clever, contemporary approach to countryside living.

Surrounded by the rolling hills of the Calder Valley, the property enjoys spectacular panoramic views, a peaceful rural setting and an unusual layout that has been designed to make the absolute most of its surroundings.

But Keelham Cottage offers something more.

Alongside the three-bedroom main residence is a fully self-contained annex, already successfully operated as holiday accommodation and receiving excellent guest reviews.

This creates a particularly appealing opportunity for buyers seeking a beautiful family home with the added flexibility of independent guest accommodation and the potential to continue an established holiday letting venture.

Whether you’re looking for a countryside retreat, a distinctive family home or somewhere that offers the possibility of additional income, Keelham Cottage has an enormous amount to offer.

Upside-Down Living – Because the Views Deserve It

One of the most appealing features of Keelham Cottage is its clever upside-down layout.

Rather than placing the principal living accommodation on the ground floor, the cottage has been arranged with its impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living room upstairs.

And when you see the views, it’s easy to understand why.

Occupying an elevated position, this wonderful living space enjoys an outlook across the surrounding countryside, with large windows allowing natural light to flood into the room.

The kitchen is well appointed, with practical storage and preparation areas, opening naturally into generous dining and seating spaces.

The result is a welcoming, sociable room that works beautifully for everyday family life as well as entertaining.

Imagine preparing breakfast whilst looking out across the valley, enjoying dinner as the evening light settles over the hills or simply relaxing with a coffee and watching the changing seasons.

At Keelham Cottage, the countryside becomes part of everyday life.

The South-Facing Balcony

Directly accessed from the open-plan kitchen and living accommodation is a beautiful, substantial timber balcony.

Positioned to take full advantage of the property’s south-facing aspect, this is a wonderful outdoor space for dining, entertaining or simply sitting and appreciating the views.

The elevated position provides an exceptional outlook across the surrounding hills, creating a genuine extension of the first-floor living space.

Whether it’s a sunny morning coffee or a relaxed summer evening, the balcony is somewhere you’ll want to spend time.

The raised structure also makes practical use of the space beneath, providing sheltered storage and parking provision.

It is an attractive combination of thoughtful design, beautiful scenery and everyday functionality.

The Three-Bedroom Main Cottage

The principal residence offers three bedrooms arranged across the ground and first floors, creating a flexible and comfortable home.

The ground floor provides two bedrooms, together with a particularly spacious family bathroom featuring a separate bath and walk-in shower.

The third bedroom is located on the first floor, alongside the open-plan living accommodation and an additional WC.

Traditional stonework, character features and natural materials contribute to the cottage’s individual charm, whilst the layout provides the flexibility required for modern living.

The accommodation would suit a variety of buyers, including families, couples looking for additional space and those seeking a distinctive countryside property.

Importantly, the three-bedroom house remains separate from the independent annex, allowing the owners to enjoy their own home whilst accommodating guests in a dedicated space.

A Fully Self-Contained Annex – An Established Holiday Let

This is where Keelham Cottage becomes particularly interesting.

Attached to the main cottage is a fully self-contained annex, providing independent accommodation with its own entrance.

The annex comprises an open-plan living and sleeping area, kitchen facilities and a private shower room, offering everything required for a comfortable, independent stay.

It has already been operated as holiday accommodation under the name Country Cottage with Panoramic Views, attracting excellent guest feedback.

The accommodation has achieved a published guest rating of 9.5 out of 10, with visitors particularly praising the exceptional views, peaceful surroundings and comfortable accommodation.

For buyers considering holiday letting, the existing history provides an encouraging indication of the property’s appeal to visitors.

Unlike a property where an annex is simply a future possibility, Keelham Cottage already benefits from a separate space that has been used for short-term guest accommodation.

This offers an attractive opportunity to explore the continuation of holiday letting whilst retaining the privacy of the main three-bedroom residence.

Equally, the annex could be ideal for visiting family, multigenerational living, older children seeking independence or those requiring a separate working environment.

The flexibility is considerable and is undoubtedly one of the property’s strongest selling points.

Any future holiday letting use or income would be subject to the necessary permissions, regulatory requirements and the purchaser’s own enquiries.

Gardens, Outdoor Space and Parking

Keelham Cottage’s outdoor spaces complement its beautiful rural surroundings.

At ground level, gravelled seating areas, established planting and traditional stone features create an informal cottage garden setting.

There are places to sit and enjoy the sunshine, entertain friends or simply appreciate the peaceful atmosphere.

The south-facing orientation is particularly appealing, whilst the raised balcony provides an entirely different perspective across the valley.

The property also benefits from private parking and useful sheltered space beneath the balcony, combining practical convenience with the attractive outdoor areas.

With countryside extending beyond the property, there is a wonderful sense of openness and connection to the surrounding landscape.

Location – Keelham Lane, Todmorden

Keelham Cottage enjoys a beautiful hillside position above Todmorden, surrounded by the spectacular Pennine countryside.

The property benefits from far-reaching views towards Stoodley Pike, with rolling hills, open fields and an extensive network of countryside walks nearby.

Despite the peaceful setting, Todmorden town centre is within convenient reach.

The town offers a vibrant mix of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, supermarkets, traditional markets and community amenities.

Todmorden railway station provides connections towards Manchester and Leeds, making the area attractive to those looking to combine countryside living with access to major employment and commercial centres.

Nearby Hebden Bridge provides additional independent shops, restaurants and cultural attractions, whilst the wider Calder Valley is renowned for its dramatic scenery, walking routes and distinctive communities.

For those looking to enjoy a slower pace of life without feeling disconnected, Keelham Cottage offers a wonderful balance.

A Home, a Lifestyle and an Opportunity

Keelham Cottage is much more than a traditional three-bedroom stone cottage.

Its clever upside-down layout places the principal living accommodation exactly where it should be, making the most of the spectacular south-facing views.

The beautiful balcony provides a wonderful outdoor extension of the kitchen and living space, whilst the gardens and surrounding countryside create a peaceful setting.

And with a fully self-contained annex that has already established itself as popular holiday accommodation, the property offers flexibility rarely found in a home of this character.

Live in the three-bedroom cottage. Enjoy the views. Welcome guests to the annex.

A wonderful opportunity to embrace countryside living with something extra.

Keelham Cottage is a home that truly needs to be viewed to appreciate everything it has to offer.
