Located in the picturesque village of Saltaire, West Yorkshire, this charming Grade II listed cottage offers a unique stay for two in a historic setting. Nestled in Sir Titus Salt’s model Victorian village, the property has recently gained attention for its appearance in the filming of the 2022 sequel to 'The Railway Children.' Saltaire, recognized as a World Heritage Site, is home to the iconic Saltaire Mill complex, which showcases an extensive collection of artworks by David Hockney, alongside a variety of cafes, restaurants, and independent shops that add to the village's vibrant atmosphere.
The village is known for its lively community events, including the Saltaire Festival held in mid-September, which features two weeks of live music, markets, and cultural performances, appealing to a diverse audience. During the Christmas season, the Saltaire Living Advent transforms the village as houses, shops, churches, and schools adorn their windows with festive displays, creating a magical atmosphere. For outdoor enthusiasts, Saltaire offers numerous walking tracks and trails right from the doorstep, with the popular village of Haworth, famous for the Bronte Falls walk, just eight miles away.
Inside the cottage, visitors are welcomed by a cozy lounge featuring a wood burner effect electric fire, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. The spacious kitchen, which retains one of the property's original features—a delightful coffee nook—is well-equipped with modern amenities, including an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge with freezer compartment, and a Nespresso coffee machine. Upstairs, the beautifully decorated bedroom boasts a comfortable double bed that complements the Victorian charm of the cottage, while the stylish bathroom includes a roll-top bath with a shower attachment and WC.
Outside, guests can enjoy a quaint patio area furnished for relaxation, ideal for evening gatherings over a BBQ or a glass of wine. The property also offers convenient off-road parking for one car at the rear, with additional roadside parking available at the front. For those traveling with bicycles, a secure shed provides ample storage, making this cottage a perfect retreat for both relaxation and adventure in the heart of Saltaire.
