Contemporary style Calder Valley cottage
WITHIN AN idyllic setting in a Calder Valley conservation village, looking out over miles of stunning countryside, this detached cottage has all the rustic appeal while at the same time being a modern and spacious home.
Gate Cottage is a sympathetically renovated and extended three bedroom, contemporary designed home that offers a high degree of comfort, with both double glazing and central heating.
The country style kitchen with beamed ceiling has fitted units and a range style cooker with double extractor hood over, plus a breakfast bar, and to the side is a feature wooden staircase with a glass balustrade up to the first floor.
Space is maximised, from a reception hall and snug sitting or reading area, to an open plan lounge through to dining room, the former with a stone floor and woodburning stove within a large and recessed feature stone fireplace with exposed stone chimney breast.
There’s also a useful utility area and a ground floor wc..
On the floor above are three sizeable bedrooms, each with its own character, and a four piece suite bathroom with exposed stonework and beams, that includes a freestanding bath on claw feet, a walk-in shower cubicle, and a wide window with a glorious outlook.
One main bedroom has a dressing room, and a feature exposed stone wall, along with patio door access to a stylish full-length balcony with glass shield that has beautiful views over the valley and is a perfect place for relaxation.
The cottage, by a private, non-through road, has its own landscaped and enclosed garden and plenty of off-road parking space. Entry gates are to both the front and rear of the property.
Although it is in a rural village location, this Luddenden home is not far from all the facilities of Halifax town centre and the train station there.
Good schools are in the close vicinity and there are good motorway links within easy striking distance.
The conservation village of Luddenden has a cosy public house with a 1634 datestone, the Lord Nelson, that was once frequented by Branwell Bronte. This hostelry is also said to have established the first public library in an upstairs room.
It’s great walking, cycling and riding country, with the cobbled packhorse trail also wending its way through the village.
