Take the time to enjoy the character of the cottage and spend cooler nights snuggled up by the fire and long walks exploring the nearby Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
Set in an idyllic spot adjoining the internationally acclaimed Yorkshire Sculpture Park, this traditional former estate worker’s cottage offers light, relaxing holiday accommodation for up to three guests. Perfect for couples, friends and small families, the property features an original coal burner, exposed brickwork, an inglenook fireplace and timber beams, making a fantastic cosy retreat for walkers, art lovers and nature spotters. Brimming with character, this sympathetically updated hideaway lies in a quiet secluded location with a lovely shared garden, and is ideally situated for exploring both South and West Yorkshire.
The traditional stone-built hallway is full of character, with exposed brickwork and beams in the vaulted ceiling. This leads through to the cosy and welcoming lounge which has timber beams, a coal burner set in an impressive inglenook, and ample seating for you to unwind in. There’s also a country-style kitchen/diner with terracotta flooring and a friendly farmhouse dining table. Upstairs, you will find a stylish bathroom and two delightful bedrooms, each with ample storage space: there’s a spacious double and a colourful single room. Outside, the shared garden has a private designated space with a table and chairs, offering wonderfully relaxing rural views across the estate.
