Maytree Cote is a stylish one bedroom eco countryside romantic hideaway at the bottom of a private meadow, nestled in the heart of the West Yorkshire Pennines. Once a derelict farm log store and potting shed, Maytree Cote has been thoughtfully and tastefully renovated into a unique and luxurious retreat. Restored with care and creativity, it blends rustic character with contemporary comforts, crafted to the highest standards.
The space
Set within a peaceful south facing two acre site, shared with the owners’ barn conversion, the detached cottage opens onto a gently sloping private meadow. Meander along mown paths lined with hawthorns (the namesake maytrees) or relax beneath the branches of a small apple orchard. Nature surrounds you; deer, foxes, weasels, stoats, rabbits, hares and owls are frequent visitors. A truly immersive wildlife and nature experience.
Just a short stroll from the scenic Calderdale Way, Maytree Cote is a haven for walkers, nature lovers, and anyone seeking a serene landscape amidst dramatic Pennine landscapes.
Barkisland is a delightful small village with a well stocked and licenced Post Office and lively cricket club, open to non-members.
