Cottage in Manchester

About this property

Tucked away on the edge of the Pennines, on the Yorkshire/Lancashire border, this contemporary property provides the ideal getaway for families and their dogs.

The cottage is conveniently situated in the town of Littleborough, with all the amenities you could require within easy reach. Just across the road you will find a pub, restaurant and fish and chip shop or wander to the centre of the town where there are plenty more cafes, pubs and eateries to explore. Situated on the Pennine Way, the area is a paradise for walkers and cyclists with the canal just around the corner, and Hollingworth lake a lovely 2 mile walk away where visitors can take in the stunning scenery, enjoy a picnic or take part in a range of water sports. A bus stop at the front of the property offers transport directly to the nearby towns of Todmorden (6 miles) and Hebden Bridge (10 miles), both offering an abundance of quirky shops and pubs, and further on to Manchester (18.5 miles). Pop on the train to Manchester 20 mins away or go to Liverpool, experience the Eurovison atmosphere a mere 60 minutes by train where you can relax and take the sights in. Three steps lead into this wonderful cottage where you are greeted by a welcoming lounge/diner. Stylishly furnished throughout, relax on the comfortable sofas after a long day exploring and watch a movie on the TV with loved ones. A large wood burner adorns the room providing ample warmth for those cold winter nights. In the corner of the room, you will find a contemporary dining table, lovingly handmade from recycled wood from the lock gates of the neighbouring canal. This is a theme throughout the property and makes for plenty of unique fixtures and fittings. The kitchen is stylish and equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, filtered water tap, and a giant chalkboard to entertain any children in the group.
