Situated in the most sought-after location of Oxenhope, part of the well-known Brontë Country, Upper Flight Stack is a charming two double bedroom stone-built cottage boasting a wealth of period fixtures and fittings and truly breath-taking and uninterrupted countryside views.

Internally, the property briefly comprises; entrance hallway, lounge, farmhouse kitchen and utility room to the ground floor and principal bedroom with en-suite, second double bedroom, house bathroom and storeroom to the first floor.

Externally, a gated driveway provides off-street parking for two cars, benefiting from an EV-charging point, and leading round to the enclosed low-maintenance garden with Yorkshire-stone flagged patio and uninterrupted views.

Location - The small village of Oxenhope lies amid wonderful scenery and offers the chance to take advantage of the multitude of moorland walks direct from the cottage including the Brontë Way.

Ideally positioned for people wanting a rural location yet close to excellent transport links by rail with direct services to Leeds (approx. 30 minutes), Manchester (approx. 1 hour), York (approx. 1 hour) & London (approx. 3 hours).

The village, with its shops, churches and pubs, is home to the terminus for the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, an authentic steam railway brought to prominence in the film The Railway Children, which runs to Haworth and on down to Keighley.

The area was made famous by the Brontë sisters, and the outstanding countryside was famously described in the novel Wuthering Heights as wild and rugged.

The area abounds with popular places to visit; the cobbled streets of Haworth, the Brontë Parsonage Museum, East Riddlesden Hall, the Museum of Rail and the popular tourist destination of Hebden Bridge.

The market town of Skipton, known as the Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, is a short drive away, and also within reach are elegant Ilkley and vibrant Leeds.

General Information - Access is gained through a handcrafted solid-wood door into the welcoming entrance hallway, finished with Yorkshire-stone flooring benefitting from underfloor heating, with an open solid-wood staircase with spindle balustrade rising to the first floor.

The first door on your left takes you through to the farmhouse kitchen, continuing the Yorkshire-stone flooring benefiting from underfloor heating, with dual-aspect stone-mullion windows enjoying an outlook into the garden and countryside beyond.

The kitchen offers a range of bespoke hand-built wall, drawer and base units with contrasting granite worksurfaces incorporating a Belfast sink with mixer-tap and hand-held attachment. Integrated appliances include a Smeg dual-fuel oven with six-ring hob and overhead extractor.

Moving through to the spacious lounge, again continuing the Yorkshire-stone flooring with underfloor heating, showcasing an exposed beamed ceiling and benefitting from built-in shelving. A door leads through to a useful cupboard.

Positioned between the lounge and dining kitchen is a beautiful, exposed stone fireplace, open to both sides, featuring a multi-fuel burning stove creating the perfect focal point and providing heat for the entire ground floor.

The utility room completes the ground floor accommodation, offering a range of wall and base units with contrasting worksurfaces and plumbing for a washer-dryer. A door accesses under stairs cupboard providing further useful storage and housing the boiler.

Ascending the beautiful feature staircase to the first-floor landing, accessing two double bedrooms, the house bathroom and a further storeroom, benefiting from power and lighting.

The first door on your right takes you through to the well-presented and fully tiled house bathroom, showcasing an exposed beam and skylight window to the ceiling and boasting a three-piece suite comprising a w/c, wash-hand basin and panelled bath with overhead rainfall shower.
