This cottage is extremely unusual in that it has a very long documented history of occupants since 1777 when the owners 3x gt grandfather was born here and succeeding generations of his family have continued to live there whilst working in the nearby dyeworks (long gone except for the 77m chimney, now the tallest folly in the world called Wainhouse Tower).
It oozes character with ceiling beams, an inglenook fireplace with a gas fired stove, restored pine doors and exposed stonework. The mullioned window in the kitchen dates from 1650 when it was part of a farmhouse. Unusually for a cottage, it has spacious rooms and high ceilings but please be aware that the stairs are steep.
The sunny garden has beautiful views across the valley and is a lovely place to relax after a day out.
The fully equipped kitchen features an electric oven and ceramic hob, a small dishwasher, a fridge with small freezer, a microwave and a Dolce Gusto coffee maker.
A washer/dryer is hidden in a modern cupboard in the contemporary upstairs bathroom with a white suite and grey porcelain tiles. The long shower bath widens at one end and has an Aqualisa digital rain shower as well as a hand shower attachment. The gas central heating boiler is inside a cupboard. We provide an illuminated mirror, shaver socket, and complimentary bath and shower products.
There is a landing with a desk and good Wifi is available throughout the cottage.
The sunny bedroom has a lovely view, a Victorian feature fireplace, in built storage and a magnificent superking ( 2m long, 1.8m wide) Hypnos bed. This can be configured as 2 long single beds by prior arrangement. There is also space for a baby to sleep in a travel cot which can also be provided along with a bath seat, changing mat and toys. We provide high quality bed linen, towels, mattress, pillow and duvet protectors.
Relax in the living room with its woodblock flooring, antique dining table, and comfortable seating including a chair with local place names. The leather sofa extends into a proper sprung bed for an additional guest. The paintings and wall decorations all have a local theme and we have a 50” SMART tv with over 100 freeview channels, a DVD player, a little library of books, and games. Don’t forget to bring your Netflix and Amazon Prime log in details for a chilled evening in.
Calderdale is now famous as a filming destination and our heritage locality has featured in "Last Tango in Halifax", "Happy Valley" and "Gentleman Jack".

The Calder and Hebble Navigation and the Rochdale Canal are a short walk from the cottage. Explore the South Pennines and Yorkshire Dales NP, visit Haworth/ Bronte Country or historic York. Industrial archaeology abounds here and converted mills now host shops, bars, restaurants, exhibitions, and art galleries.
