Description

Welcome to Oaklands Cottage, nestled in the storybook hamlet of Wycoller, a truly magical place steeped in history, charm and no traffic. Yes, really… it’s a vehicle-free hamlet, so peace and quiet come as standard here.

Part of the Trawden Forest and featured in The Sunday Times Best Places to Live 2022 (Northwest), Wycoller is famed for its links to the Brontë sisters, with countryside so beautiful it inspired literary legends.

Oaklands Cottage forms part of an original farmhouse and is full of surprises, over 2,600 sq ft of deceptively spacious living, three reception rooms (one with a gorgeous mezzanine), a central dining kitchen, three bedrooms upstairs with en suite and a stylish family bathroom.

Outside, there’s private garden space and parking to the front and rear and if that wasn’t enough, an attached one-bedroom annex which offers exciting potential for an AirBnB, guest house, or dependent relative.

This barn has been thoughtfully updated by its current owners, blending period features with modern comforts and all set in a location that feels straight out of a novel.

Viewings are essential to appreciate just how special this home really is. Fancy a wander back in time?
