About this property

Holmfirth 2 miles. Situated in the heart of the rural village of Hepworth, amongst the rolling greenery of West Yorkshire, rests this delightful two-bedroom holiday home, School Cottage. Dating back to the 18th century, School Cottage has been wonderfully renovated to a high-standard, brimming with quality fixtures and furnishings whilst maintaining the property's original character. Stepping inside your new home-from-home, be charmed by the remarkable interior, thoughtfully-laid out with herringbone oak flooring, exposed wooden beams and elegant yet homely furnishings, effortlessly blending contemporary and traditional. Look forward to snuggling up with your loved ones on the sumptuous corner sofa as a family favourite plays on the Smart TV, or rustling up hearty meals in the well-designed kitchen to be enjoyed at the nearby dining table. A set of stairs lead you to two bedrooms positioned on the first floor, consisting of a king-size and a twin, each boasting oak storage units to unpack your belongings and make yourself at home. Completing the property is a stylish shower room along with a handy cloakroom. Take advantage of your central location in Hepworth and take the short walk to the local gastropub, The Butchers Arms, and tuck-in to a spot of pub fare gathered around the open fire, or soak in the sunshine with a crisp pint of ale in the beer garden at the end of an action-packed day. For a wider variety of choice, head to the nearby town of Holmfirth where you'll find a wealth of eateries to suit all tastes and budgets, along with a handful of shops to stock-up on essentials. Nearby Meltham is home to an excellent 18-hole golf course, perfect for those looking for a peaceful afternoon retreat, whilst the bustling town of Huddersfield offers an exciting change of pace. Immerse yourself in the great outdoors with a visit to the Peak District National Park where there is a plethora of scenic walking, cycling and hiking trails worth exploring, as well as the rural towns of Matlock and Bakewell. Make the most of an escape to Yorkshire with a stay at School Cottage.

The historic town of Holmfirth rests on the edge of the West Yorkshire Pennines, in the picture-perfect Holme Valley.
