Situated in a rural paradise on the edge of the Peak District National Park, Park Cottages enjoys all the benefits of nearby Penistone, whilst being surrounded by the open space of the countryside. “When we first visited the house, we immediately fell in love with the far-reaching views from every room,” say the current owners. “We have not grown tired of this in all our years here, and love being able to sit in bed and watch hares and water buffalo in the fields around the house. It is the perfect location to return to at the end of a long day, leaving all the hassles of work behind as we step back into this tranquil environment.” The house itself proffers five bedrooms and generous living accommodation perfect for family life and entertaining purposes alike.

“Although this is an older property, with all the charm that comes with that,” say the owners, “the interior feels very modern. The proportions of the large rooms and high ceilings of a period property marry perfectly with the light, bright airiness of a contemporary home.

In addition, we have done our utmost to make this house as energy efficient and environmentally friendly as possible, for example with high grade insulation, underfloor heating and triple glazed windows, in keeping with the property’s beautiful natural surroundings.”

The environs of the property are indeed something special, the generous grounds being home to various wildlife and birds. “Owls often sit in the mature trees,” say the owners, “this is a real cottage garden which fits effortlessly into its rural environment.”

In a small hamlet in the parish of Oxspring, the property is convenient for local amenities including a post office, church and community hall, primary school and two pubs. Just a short distance from Penistone, the hamlet is close to the Trans Pennine Trail and a wide range of other biking routes and footpaths. Penistone itself has a weekly farmers’ market and boasts highly regarded primary and secondary schools, as well as a sixth form college. “Penistone is within walking distance from the house,” say the owners, “and has an amazing sense of community. We are in a rural location but not at all isolated, people in our little hamlet are friendly and passing walkers and cyclists often wave or say hello if they see us in the garden.” The property is ideally located for commuting, with links by road and rail to Sheffield, Leeds and York.

“We have a real country lifestyle here whilst not being far from town. For example, milk is delivered to the door from a local farm, from cows we can actually see from the house!”*
