Agent Reference TS0571Sheep In The Fields, A Wood Burner In The Lounge, A Balcony Off The Bedroom. This fully upgraded detached stone cottage delivers the luxury and the lifestyle you’re looking for - down a private track in a small cluster of homes backing onto farmland - but only 10 mins drive down to Ripponden.Most people spend years searching for the version of countryside living that actually fits around real family life. 'Wormald Cottage' gets that balance just right - and it's been finished to a superb standard that means you move straight in and start enjoying it.The sitting room sets the tone. Exposed black beams run across the ceiling, a wood-burning stove sits in the stone surround, and the deep green walls give the whole room a warmth that works perfectly on a chilly winter evening up on the moors. The separate dining room next door has its own fireplace and French doors that open directly onto the garden - which matters more than it sounds when the view beyond the back wall is open farmland with sheep grazing in the field.The gorgeous kitchen is a Drew Forsythe & Co design - a Hebden Bridge master craftsman with a fantastic reputation - with granite worktops, an ILVE range with induction hob, fridge drawers, integrated dishwasher and in addition there is a separate utility room off to the side and a cloakroom/WC.Upstairs, the main bedroom is a proper grown-up suite - with herringbone oak parquet floor, full height ceiling with an exposed oak beam and velux, fitted dark grey wardrobes and a dressing table. The en-suite has marble-effect tiling, a walk-in shower with glass screen and a vessel basin with LED mirror. But the one detail that will stay with you long after you view is the bi-fold doors that open onto a private balcony with open countryside views - a dream spot for a morning cuppa or a quiet g&t before you get ready on a Saturday evening.Three further bedrooms are served by a family bathroom with a beautiful freestanding bath and overhead shower. The landing itself has plenty of character, with original black timber beams framing the space between rooms.Outside, there’s plenty of parking on the drive. The gardens wrap around the side of the house with a slate terrace, a built-in stone bench with a log store beneath, and a gate that leads you straight out onto the open fields. Great walks and family bike rides can start from the front door - and when you need Ripponden or Rishworth, they're less than a ten minute drive away.It’s only a 5 minute drive to St John’s CofE Primary school in Rishworth and only a little further to the highly sought after Rishworth School. If you've been looking for the right level of away-from-it-all for your family and keep finding properties that are either too far out or too close in, this could be the one that gets the balance right. And does it all in an immaculate family home that’s ready for you to make yourselves at home. Agent Note:We are required by law to conduct Anti-Money Laundering checks on all parties involved in the sale or purchase of a property.
