Located on the grounds of the owner’s property alongside three other charismatic properties, this cottage holds a lot of history; an old converted coach house once owned by Judge James Pickles and has appeared on Through the Key Hole in 1990, it now stands as a quirky holiday cottage for you and your family. Walk past the coach house doors and through the front doors of the property; unpack your belongings and gather in the spacious sitting room to concoct a plan for the day, whether you take a stroll into town or simply explore the wooded outlook behind the property with the dog, this cottage is in the perfect location for a holiday packed with action. Lister Cottage hosts ample amenities for you to spend quality time with your loved ones; head to the dining room to enjoy some home-cooked dinner prepared in the bright and white kitchen before heading to the sitting room to kick back with a glass of wine while the kids play games in the downstairs bedroom; doubling up as a sofa and a day bed it’s the perfect place for the kids to unwind in their own private space. In the summer months, open up the patio doors in the ground-floor bedroom and let in the fresh air as the dog roams around freely on the large lawned area at the back. The area of Halifax offers something for all weathers and times of the year, head into the town to discover its vibrant aura, with a theater and playhouse, a children’s museum, cinema, historical landmarks and a wide array of shops and restaurants to indulge in, it offers something for everyone no matter when you visit this magnificent minster town.

The cottage could have been warmed prior to us arriving, though once the boiler fired up, there was adequate heat from the radiators. The kitchen electrical equipment was obviously new, kettle, toaster and microwave. The fridge freezer could have been larger, but it was adequate. It was a shame not to have an open fire or even a log burner in the lounge; this is an old property and doubtless has the chimneys to allow such. It would have provided a nice touch and a focal point to the room. Spacious bedrooms, dining room and a utility area gave a spacious feel to the house. Two toilets/showers. The upstairs family bathroom and downstairs shower room meant no queues. Washing machine and tumble dryer were also new and a great addition. The garden is large but not enclosed. In the Summertime, this would be a lovely spot to sit, entertain, BBQ etc, but children and pets would be at risk of wandering onto the busy road beyond the gate pillars, minus gates. The garden was well equipped, table, chairs and bbq. One drawback is the disposal of rubbish. The household waste is put into blue plastic bin bags and left outside of the rear French doors. Sadly, foxes got to it and rubbish was strewn all over the garden. It might be useful to have a large plastic garden storage box in which to securely keep waste to avoid the vermin. Very near the town centre, Tesco express 2 minutes' walk. Ideal for a base to explore the surrounding area. Reasonably priced. We would use again.

The bedroom to the right upstairs carpet seemed to have purple nail varnish over the floor and skirting board, the bedroom to the left of the stairs had the smell of mould. The sheets were also a little stained. The bedroom opposite the stairs had large cobwebs and marks all over the walls, we assumed this property was likely a student house in a prior life? The fire alarm went off because the extractor fan in the kitchen does not work so ended up having to open windows & doors in the utility area (the buttons on the fire alarms did not reset them). The kitchen had a very poor selection of cooking implements, I.e the frying pan is very worse for wear and burning due to low quality despite turning the hob down to low and knives were very blunt, no sharpener. The property could do with more glassware as we ended up buying plastic ones, and more cutlery. Towels could also be slightly larger. It would be a good idea to ensure properties had ample cleaning products, the property had 2 tea towels which were already dirty and a couple dish clothes, we had to buy hand soap for the bathrooms and loo roll was scarce. We also had very little surface disinfectant and no product to clean the floor with (apart from the actual mop and bucket).
