This pretty bungalow near the Peak District National Park is a great base for a retreat as a couple or with a friend. The spacious interiors are bursting with character, retaining much of their original charm with features such as exposed beams and a wood burner that’ll make you feel at home from the moment you set foot inside. Situated between Royd Moor and Scout Dike Reservoirs, you’ll be able to enjoy picturesque walking trails from your doorstep.

At the heart of the home is the traditionally styled lounge area, boasting a leather sofa and armchair, dual-aspect windows and a wood burner. The space is multi-purpose, with a dining table tucked into one corner for mealtimes. Next door, the modern kitchen is equipped with everything you’ll need to cook up meals or prepare picnics for your adventures with enjoyable views out towards the countryside through the bright window. The bedroom is furnished with two small double beds offering flexibility in the sleeping arrangements, as well as a dressing table. The contemporary bathroom completes the property, with a sleek spa-like double shower to energise you each morning. Outside is a small garden with a selection of plants offering a tranquil haven for al fresco dining or a morning coffee.

For a leisurely afternoon out, why not visit the beautiful town of Holmfirth in the Holme Valley (8 miles)? Here you can pursue the local galleries, cafes and winding walks around the rural town, soaking in the local culture. Spend a day near Woodhead Reservoir (12 miles) soaking up the beauty of the national park and you’ll be able to walk along the Longdendale Trail or visit Middle Black Clough Waterfall, each offering its unique picturesque trails with perfect spots to stop off for a picnic.
