Tyas Cottage

Description

Tyas Cottage is a combined cottage and barn and one of three properties within a secluded hamlet in Merrydale, near Slaithwaite and Marsden. It is less than 10km from Huddersfield and 14km from Halifax. The other two houses in Merrydale are in permanent occupation. It was here, in the early sixteen hundreds, that the first water powered mill in the Colne Valley was built.

The hamlet is surrounded by "free-to-roam" woodland and fields. Deer live in the woods, and are occasionally seen in the early mornings. Our nearest village, Slaithwaite, is only about a twenty minutes walk away.

Secluded, within Merrydale, a sheltered valley, Tyas Cottage is adjacent to an ancient, cobbled pack horse road. The abundant natural birdlife of this local beauty spot includes kingfishers, herons and sparrow hawks.

In addition to the private patio there is a large shared, award winning garden that includes a mill pond, stream and waterfall.

The quality of the furnishings, mainly antiques, can be appreciated from the photos, but special mention must be made of the Georgian mahogany 4 poster bed with its wooden carved ceiling.
