Nestled in the heart of the bustling town of Holmfirth, enveloped in the glorious landscapes of the West Yorkshire countryside, is this stone-built property, The Porthole.
Originally a ticket office to the railway station, this 19th-century abode welcomes families and friends looking to explore the Peak District.
Three off-road parking spaces will greet you upon arrival, which are highly sought-after in this central Holmfirth location.
Step into the spacious hallway and follow the luxury herringbone flooring into the lounge, complete with a sumptuous sofa, Smart TV and an alluring gas fire for those cosy nights in. Allow any budding chefs to get acquainted in the kitchen, well-appointed with all the essentials for a short break, including the likes of a double oven, coffee machine, dishwasher and breakfast bar. Open the patio doors to access the enclosed garden, finished with an AstroTurf lawn and decking with a hot tub, along with a wooden picnic table for enjoying lunch in the sunshine.
Climb the stairs to reach the upstairs landing, leading off to the bedrooms; discover the master, hosting a sumptuous king-size with en-suite bathroom, enhanced with underfloor heating, a rainfall walk-in shower and a bath, providing plenty of options to prepare for the day. There is also a king-size with Smart TV, a family room with double and single bed and a bunk room, ideal for the little ones.
Rounding off the interior is the contemporary bathroom and shower room, so you won’t have to worry about morning queues! When you’re ready to explore, take advantage of your central location with a superb selection of pubs, restaurants and cafés available, ideal for when you fancy a night away from the kitchen.
Browse a range of independent shops, including the Last of the Summer Wine Exhibition and Gift Shop selling souvenirs and gifts to take back home, or embark on the Last of the Summer Wine tour where you can see famous filming locations and learn more about Holmfirth’s rich history all whilst aboard a vintage bus. Those feeling active can pop on their walking boots and tackle the Kirklees way, a scenic 73-mile route that takes in the best of the Peak District landscape and scenery, or challenge yourself with a hike to the peak of Black Hill and Holme Moss.
Further sightseeing opportunities can be found in Marsden, home to the longest, highest and deepest canal in the UK, or learn of the area's local history with a tour of Colne Valley Museum and the National Coal Mining Museum for England.
Gather friends and family and enjoy a superb retreat to The Porthole.
