Description

Nestled in the Colne Valley hills, Darkwood is a breathtaking Grade II listed detached property with just under 1 acre of land, outbuildings, and unrivalled views. This extraordinary home, formerly a farmhouse and weavers' cottage, has been lovingly restored to offer a unique blend of historic character, green technology, and a tranquil yet connected setting. Inside, Darkwood whispers stories from centuries past through its mullioned windows, exposed stonework, and hand-hewn beams, while its modern heart beats strongly with features like underfloor heating, ground-mounted solar panels, and a 4-oven Aga in the family kitchen. The property also boasts five generous bedrooms, four bathrooms, panoramic views of the Colne Valley, a double garage/workshop, and a polytunnel, raised beds, and enclosed chicken run. Outside, the sweeping landscaped gardens, sheltered seating areas, and large lawned spaces are perfect for al fresco dining, outdoor barbeques, and celebrations under the stars. With space to install a hot tub, outdoor pizza oven, and more, Darkwood could easily become the party house you've always dreamed of. The property is approached via a private gravelled track and offers the opportunity to live more self-sufficiently, with raised vegetable beds, a polytunnel, soft fruit gardens, and a greenhouse. Located just 25 minutes' walk from the vibrant village of Slaithwaite, Darkwood is a rare find that combines history, comfort, and sustainability in a truly unique way.
