A truly spectacular holiday home in the heart of West Yorkshire, with space for up to 12 and two dogs welcome, too – ideal for an annual family trip or holiday among old friends. At this luxury dwelling, even the dog feels pampered thanks to a designated washing area for four-legged friends. It’s 1 mile from the village of Marsden, a large Colne Valley village with plenty of pubs and restaurants, and just 6.5 miles from Huddersfield for if you fancy an urban day out.
The home is beautifully decorated inside and out, with high-quality furniture and fittings, and a gentle grey-led colour scheme that matches perfectly with the gorgeous exposed stone walls. In the delightful open-plan living area, light streams in through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows and skylights. You’ll have a beautiful modern kitchen with a handy wood-topped breakfast bar, and a long dining table that invites sociable meal times. In the welcoming lounge, a wood burner keeps you on chilly nights, and there’s even a cinema room for family film viewings. In summer, the delightful garden comes into its own for pizza and BBQ parties, not to mention the private hot tub offering soul-soothing views over the surrounding countryside.
Marsden is home to the much-loved Standedge Tunnel, where you can get a taste of the region’s cultural heritage by exploring tunnels running through the Pennine hills. In Slaithwaite (2 miles), stroll down quaint, narrow streets and take the dogs on a leisurely stroll along the canal. For a bit of TV nostalgia, head to Holmfirth (8.5 miles, which served as a backdrop for the series ‘Last of the Summer Wine’. If you’re an art aficionado or culture vulture, you’ll want to check out Hebden Bridge (18 miles) and explore its vibrant mosaic of galleries, performances and scenic walks.
