Description

Located in a quiet backwater amongst the higgledy-piggledy courtyards and cobbled streets of the historic Pennine conservation village of old Heptonstall, near to Hebden Bridge in the South Pennines, Chapel Fold is a picturesque early Grade II listed two-bedroomed country cottage. From the moment you arrive in this tranquil environment you can unwind as you take in the traffic-free environment and wonderful panoramic views.

This cosy cottage has been carefully renovated recently, retaining many original features including an open stone fireplace (complete with cast-iron French multi-fuel “Godin”), mullioned windows and original oak beams, and is furnished to accommodate up to four people comfortably for those special self-catering holidays.

Surrounded by miles of unspoilt countryside, Heptonstall village is a real “find” and provides a daily-opening Post Office / General Store and two pubs providing traditional home-cooked pub food and refreshment; all within walking distance. At nearby Hebden Bridge, with its riverside and canal-side location, there is a small-scale supermarket and more dining and entertainment opportunities with a hint of the “hippy” generation that is friendly and quaint for those interested in an out-of-the ordinary retail experience.
