With parts dating back to 1666, we immediately fell in love with the wooden beams and stone hearth fireplaces. The gable end was very damaged, but we worked closely with the conservation team and we are proud to have retained the original character of this historic building,” say the current owners. “Enjoying views over open countryside to the rear of the house, Weavers Cottage stands nicely in its surroundings with a lovely cottage garden to the front and large open space at the back. As the property faces south, we sit out in the morning with a cup of coffee in the cottage garden and we can then follow the sun around to the garden at the rear of the house which is perfect for relaxing and entertaining. We’ve enjoyed BBQs on the patio with friends and the lawn is big enough for endless games of football and cricket. I’m pleased to say that the windows survived the onslaught of various balls! It’s a very peaceful environment where we are treated to the sight of pheasants, yellowhammers, woodpeckers and many other garden birds.” “The location has been perfect as I require easy access to the motorway and airport for work, yet it’s also very quiet. The village is surrounded by fields with lots of footpaths to walk through the beautiful countryside. There are a couple of pubs in the village, as well as a pub / restaurant located just down the lane from us and the annual church fete is always a great success. We enjoy a wide variety of shops and restaurants in nearby Huddersfield, as well as the local butcher and convenience store in Roberttown village.” “Weavers Cottage is a cosy house with a fantastic sense of history, and we like to relax around the open-hearth fires.” “We’ve revelled in the history of the house. It’s so old, yet all these years later, here we are still living in it. It’s withstood the test of time.” “The house and garden are perfect for entertaining. We’ve enjoyed many family celebrations where we can easily accommodate up to 10 guests around the table.” “We’ve lived here for nearly 20 years and we will miss the unique character of Weaver Cottage, but I will be retiring in July and we are taking the opportunity to pursue our dream of living in North Yorkshire.” * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
