Set in a traditional terrace in the village of Holmbridge, this two-bedroom family cottage puts the landscapes and heritage of the South Pennines right on the doorstep. After a day exploring the hills, return home to rest tired legs in front of the crackling wood burner.
Enter via the small hall and make your way into the inviting lounge, where a striking stone fireplace creates a natural focal point. Sink into the sofa in front of the TV or light the wood burner when evening temperatures drop, with the dining table beside the window giving you a lovely outlook over the countryside. Next door, the contemporary kitchen has statement flooring and everything needed for straightforward self-catering, along with views across the greenery while you cook. A neighbouring utility room houses the laundry facilities. Upstairs, the two bedrooms comprise a king-size room and a bunk bedroom, with both sharing the nearby shower room. Although there’s no garden, a small outdoor seating area gives you somewhere to sit with a morning coffee before heading out for the day. On-street parking is available for one car.
Wander into the village to discover its historic cricket field and friendly local inn, which has a beer garden and serves food and drinks throughout the day. Brownhill Reservoir is less than 100 metres away, with waterside walks leading through the countryside. Holmfirth (2 miles) is known for its cobbled streets, surrounding hills and connections with Last of the Summer Wine. Browse its shops, settle into a local inn or stop for a meal before venturing further into the hills. Glossop is 12 miles from home and opens the door to the rugged Dark Peak, while the Pennine Way passes by the hamlet of Crowden, 7 miles from your door.
