3 Bedroom Cottage in Todmorden
Resting amongst the rural countryside of West Yorkshire, on the outskirts of the charming market town of Todmorden, sits this stone-built, 16th-century Grade II listed farmhouse, Rake Hey Farm. Boasting an interior full of original character and framing far-reaching views across the surrounding moors towards the distant hills, Rake Hey Farm makes an excellent base for a retreat to the country. Follow the track road to reach this lovely dwelling and take in the wonderful sights as you park up and unload your belongings, ready to make yourself at home. Let the under-floor heating warm your toes as you step inside and make your way through to the open-plan living/dining room, where a rustic woodburning stove sits within an exposed stone inglenook fireplace, providing a welcoming spot to put your feet up and unwind as a family-favourite plays on the television. When stomachs start to rumble, discover the well-equipped kitchen, stylishly appointed with granite worktops and benefiting from access to a handy pantry; utilise the fabulous range of amenities provided to rustle up a hearty meal before choosing to indulge in an intimate meal for two at the breakfast bar, together with your loved ones at the dining table, or outside amongst the rural greenery of the garden. When day draws to night, pour in the Cole & Lewis bubbles, and indulge in a blissful soak in the elegant roll-top bath whilst watching TV, as your towel toasts on the heated rail nearby, before choosing to catch your rest in one of three well-presented bedrooms. Settled on the first floor you'll find a super-king size bedroom, benefiting from access to its own en-suite and offering a handy zip/link feature, ideal for couples, families and friends sharing, along with a double and a zip/link twin or super-king. Enjoying an idyllic location amongst the rural countryside of West Yorkshire, you'll find a network of scenic walking, cycling, and hiking trails leading from your doorstep; lace up your walking boots or put on your climbing shoes and embark on an adventure trekking or bouldering through the rugged Bridestones Moor to discover the unique rock formations and the Wizard of Whirlaw, or lose yourself amongst the woodland in search of the Walker's Waterfall. Unleash your creativity and paint, photograph or just watch the numerous birds, and wildlife around the property. Refuel following a day of adventure with a bite to eat at one of the many eateries on offer in Todmorden from fine dining to great pub grub, or if you'd prefer, pick up some fresh, locally sourced ingredients from the Todmorden Market, independent shops, family butcher or local supermarket. Enjoy the scenery at the UK's highest beach, a walk along the historic canal, spend a peaceful afternoon testing your swing amongst the green of Todmorden Golf Club, or if you're in search of a change of pace, catch a train for city fun in Manchester, Bradford and Leeds. At nearby Halifax you can keep the little ones entertained with a tour of Eureka, the National Children's Museum, or marvel at the timber-framed manor of Gentleman Jack's Shibden Hall settled within Shibden Park, visit the Piece Hall or catch a live performance at Victoria Theatre Halifax. Whether you're looking to unwind or experience adventure, be sure to choose a stay at Rake Hey Farm.
