The Cottage is one of the oldest residential properties in Slaithwaite village and dates back to the 18th Century, having been later extended around 70 years ago. This unique home presents a rare opportunity to purchase a little piece of local history whilst enjoying the charm, character and spacious accommodation that the property exhibits.
The current owner has sympathetically and meticulously updated the property including the part installation of Idigbo hardwood double glazed windows, ensuring they retained the 'wonky' charm of the original ones. Attractive mullion windows remain in the rest of the property. The Yorkshire stone roof has also been re-laid and beautifully restored by a well-regarded local artisan stonemason.
Ground Floor
The entrance hallway is located at the centre of the property with the staircase to the first floor directly ahead and the living accommodation to either side.
The living room is a bright spacious room with windows to the front aspect overlooking the garden and a further window to the canal side. There is a striking feature fireplace to the chimney breast with fitted gas fire.
The dining room and kitchen have a semi-open plan feel whilst retaining two separate spaces. The kitchen is fitted with a good selection of wall and base units in a solid wood finish. There is a Belfast sink, AGA and space for additional free standing appliances. Adjoining the kitchen is a utility room with sink and toilet and houses the new boiler. There is also a door which leads outside to the rear courtyard.
The dining room is a generous space with dual aspect windows bringing in plenty of natural light.
To the far side of the property you will find the annex/studio workshop which lends itself to a multitude of uses. With a mezzanine level taking advantage of the double height ceiling space, this is a truly flexible area of the house. Double doors leading into the garden have created a self-contained space that can be accessed separately to the main house. The utility space within the room also means it benefits from independent facilities from the main house including fitted units, a sink with mixer tap and plumbing for a washing machine as well as space for a tumble dryer.
First Floor
The principal bedroom is a generous double room that has an adjoining dressing room as well as a large ensuite bathroom. This bedroom is full of character and displays the exposed beams to the ceiling and the mullion windows overlooking the cottage garden.
The ensuite bathroom is generous in size and is fitted with a modern 5 piece suite including a built in shower unit, bath, vanity unit hand basin, low flush WC and bidet.
The second bedroom is also a good sized double which is bathed in natural light and also displays the characterful beams and mullion windows.
The house shower room is fitted with a modern low profile shower unit, pedestal wash hand basin and a low flush WC.
Externally
To the front of the property is an idyllic cottage garden with an array of plants, flowers and fruit trees including several home grown apple trees. The garden is a real haven for birds and other local wildlife that have taken up residence in this stunning garden.
The front of the property also benefits from a gated driveway with off street parking.
Sitting at the bottom of the garden is the the writing room which was undertaken by a local Stonemason and features a roundel window above the stable door and storage room to the rear. The writing room has lighting and internet connection making this a really useful and flexible space that could also double up as a home office or a peaceful meditation space.
The rear of the property has a paved courtyard that also has direct access to the canal side which is great for accessing the local village shops or walks along the canal.
