Wood End Farm Cottage

Barnoldswick 1.8 miles.
Wood End Farm Cottage is a thoughtfully renovated former farm cottage resting within rural Barnoldswick, Lancashire.
Perfect for small families, friends or couples, this pet-friendly abode boasts a toasty woodburning stove and outstanding long‑distance views across open countryside towards, taking on three entire villages in the valley and facing hillside and Boulsworth behind that.
From slightly higher ground nearby, walkers are rewarded with glimpses of Pen‑y‑ghent, while on clear days the full outline of the Yorkshire Three Peaks can be seen on the horizon, despite lying more than 20 miles away, a truly striking feature of this setting.
Rich in original character and beams, exposed stonework and heritage features, this welcoming retreat provides an inviting base for couples looking to explore the Forest of Bowland, Pendle Hill and the surrounding landscapes.
The cottage is finished beneath a traditional Yorkstone roof, its distinctive multi‑tonal surface blending soft greys with warm orange and yellow hues that reflect its agricultural heritage.
Step inside to the spacious lounge and dining room where a built‑in woodburning stove is set within a stone fireplace, creating a warm focal point for evenings after days spent exploring the surrounding footpaths.
There is generous room to dine together, with the character of the cottage evident throughout the space.
The kitchen has been fully redesigned and fitted with an electric oven, electric hob, extractor hood and microwave, sink and a half with drainer and dishwasher, offering everything needed for preparing meals during your stay.
Upstairs holds two bedrooms, comprising a sizeable master bedroom with built‑in wardrobes and sapele hardwood windows with beautiful views from front and side, alongside a single room suitable for an additional guest.
A utility/boot room sits open to the kitchen, providing a fridge freezer and washing machine.
The bathroom is fitted with a bath, shower over, basin and WC.
Outside, two yard areas offer space to enjoy the surroundings.
The small enclosed yard is finished with Yorkstone paving and can be gated for dog security.
Beyond this lies the larger open yard which provides parking and then easy access onto public footpaths crossing open farmland and up onto the moors or down to the Leeds/Liverpool Canal.
One particularly nearby footpath route leads to a narrow, stone‑built bridge measuring just 18 inches wide as it crosses a small brook — a picturesque local landmark that once marked the historic boundary between Yorkshire and Lancashire.
Location of the cottage is extremely close to the old Yorkshire–Lancashire county line, where historic loyalties still shape the character of the area.
Reached via long, narrow country lanes that enhance its old‑world feel, the cottage enjoys a wonderfully secluded atmosphere, yet remains just a short drive from the motorway, offering an appealing balance of rural isolation and straightforward access, ideal for walkers and couples seeking a romantic escape.
Local amenities are available in Barnoldswick and Barrowford while Skipton and Clitheroe offer further shops and places to eat.
Skipton lies around 7 miles away and has been recognised recently, earning titles such as Best Place to Live in the UK from Rightmove and this year the Best Place to Live in the North by The Sunday Times.
Popular attractions within reach include Malham Cove, the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the Forest of Bowland, Pendle Hill, and the market town of Settle and the scenic Ingleton Waterfalls Trail. The Lake District is only just over an hour away.
The Pennine Way runs approximately three miles from the property, while the Leeds–Liverpool Canal is just a third of a mile away, which provides scenic routes and opportunities for walking, cycling, boating and canoeing.
East Lancashire is known for its excellent food scene, including Michelin‑starred dining. The nearest pub is around a mile away, reachable either on foot or via the canal towpath.
