About this property

New Heights is a fabulous, two-bedroom eco-home, enjoying panoramic, rural views in Oxenhope, West Yorkshire. Enveloped by the peaceful countryside,New Heights benefits from an elevated position, overlooking the rolling hills and valleys of the county, whilst offering couples, a small family, or a group of friends a homely escape from the hustle and bustle. Be welcomed by two off-road parking spaces, where you can unload with ease whilst taking in your serene backdrop. Head indoors and make yourself at home in the open-plan living space, complete with a well-equipped kitchen, a dedicated dining area, and plenty of plush seating, well-positioned for enjoying the view; for those cooler evenings, a woodburning stove is available, offering a warm glow throughout the space. If the sun is shining, be sure to spend some time outside, dining alfresco upon the patio, or if you’d prefer to whisk yourself away to a quiet nook, travel to the lower ground floor, where you’ll locate the snug. Two well-appointed bedrooms rest down here, including two double bedrooms, serviced by a bathroom and a sleek shower room. Once you’re ready to explore, follow the nearby footpath, leading down to the village, where you can stock up on the essentials, and dine out at The Dog and Gun and Thursday night at The Lamb Inn with their wood fired pizza oven is a treat, with Leeming Reservoir a stone’s throw away for a leisurely stroll, and the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway a must for families. Venture to nearby Haworth with its restaurants, pubs and coffee shops a traditional small Yorkshire village set in the Pennine moors, and take in the breath-taking Bronte Waterfall, the St. Michael’s and All Angel’s Church, and of course, the Bronte Parsonage Museum. Take a trip to the Victorian town of Hebden Bridge, a charming town full of independent stores, or explore the historic market town of Skipton, with its castle and variety of traditional Yorkshire pubs, whilst the Yorkshire Dales National Park rests to the north, offering plenty of opportunity for some outdoor fun. A stay at New Heights offers all this and more.

The small village of Oxenhope lies amid wonderful scenery, and offers the chance to take advantage of the multitude of walks in the area. The village, with its shops, churches and pubs, is home to the terminus for the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, an authentic steam railway brought to prominence in the film The Railway Children, which runs on a regular basis to Haworth and on down to Keighley. The area was made famous by the Bronte sisters, and the outstanding countryside was famously described in the novel Wuthering Heights as wild, rugged and barren. The area abounds with popular places to visit; the cobbled streets of Haworth, the Bronte Parsonage Museum, East Riddlesden Hall, and the Museum of Rail. The market town of Skipton, known as the Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, is a short drive away, and also within reach are elegant Harrogate and vibrant Leeds.

  • Kevin

    The house is ideally placed for all the textile mills and museums we wanted to visit. Had some excellent days up in the Dales and visited some lovely market towns. Had an excellent visit to SMJ Falconry which is just down the road. Flew 7 different birds and learnt all about them. Excellent pubs on your doorstep. The Lamb on a Thursday night for their homemade pizzas is well worth a visit! The access to the house is not as bad as some of the comments would leave you to believe. There is a knack to it which you master very quickly and it is well worth it for the views. You also have the added benefit of wildlife on your doorstep, the Barn Owl feeding, deer grazing just below the house and what appeared to be a resident squirrel.

  • Judith

    Pictures don't do it justice. Would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys walking. Easy day trips to Haworth, Saltaire, Skipton and Grassington. Only minor constructive criticism, we would have liked a mirror and bin in our bedroom. Could also benefit from some serving or casserole dishes

  • Ton
