THE NEIGHBORHOOD
The location is the Conservation area of Edgerton, with its numerous 19th century listed buildings. The coach house cottage is at the back of one of these with great character. It is surrounded by other such houses and coach houses converted into dwellings, but entirely detached.

Set back from the A629, Edgerton Cottage is surprisingly quiet while remaining close to major routes, offering excellent access to Huddersfield amenities and West Yorkshire key destinations.

It is suitable for vehicles up to the size of a large car or small van.
