The Peak View Holmfirth

About this property

The Peak View Holmfirth is a striking detached stone-built home set within an exclusive private estate in Hade Edge near Hepworth, offering a breathtaking vantage point over the West Yorkshire countryside. Sitting right on the fringe of the Peak District National Park, it’s the kind of place where the landscape instantly draws you in—wide skies, sweeping hills, and a sense of space that feels wonderfully grounding. As you enter, the house opens up around you with an immediate feeling of generosity. The lounge is designed for gathering, soft lighting, big sofas, and a cinema-style TV where you can settle into a film together.

The sunroom quickly becomes everyone’s favourite spot, with its wrap-around views that change with every hour of the day. Sunrises spill across the hills, evenings glow golden, and even a rainy afternoon has its charm as you watch the weather sweep across the valley. The kitchen is built for feeding a group with ease, featuring a double oven, gas hob, microwave, dishwasher, and plenty of space for everyone to move about without bumping elbows. A separate utility room keeps the practical bits neatly tucked away. Upstairs, four beautifully finished bedrooms await with a super-king-size room with an en-suite and TV; a stylish king-size, a welcoming double, and a single perfect for a child or solo guest.

Little ones will love their own dedicated den, filled with books, board games, and a TV, giving them a place to settle into their own adventures. A modern family bathroom and a handy cloakroom complete the layout. Step outside and the countryside is right there at your feet. You can wander along quiet lanes, take your bike straight from the door, or simply pause and breathe in the view. Holmfirth, loved for its arty shops, independent cafés, and connections to Last of the Summer Wine, offers plenty to browse and enjoy. For days out, Cawthorne makes a wonderful stop: explore the grand rooms and landscaped grounds of Cannon Hall Museum, Park and Gardens, browse the fascinating local artefacts at Cawthorne Jubilee Museum, or follow footpaths through peaceful woodland.

In Huddersfield, you can wander the Victorian avenues of Greenhead Park, uncover local stories at the Tolson Museum, or climb up to Castle Hill, where the panorama stretches for miles. Halifax brings a rich mix of history and creativity with the award-winning Eureka! The National Children’s Museum, the beautifully preserved Shibden Hall, and the dramatic open-air courtyard of The Piece Hall, packed with independent shops and regular events. With its dramatic setting, generous spaces, and easy access to both countryside and culture, The Peak View Holmfirth offers a truly memorable West Yorkshire escape.

The old traditional Pennine village of Hepworth is situated in the heart of the beautiful Holme Valley, on the edge of the West Yorkshire Pennines. Mentioned in the Doomsday Book, the village is made up of lovely old stone cottages, a beautiful church and excellent pubs, restaurants and cafes. The village has many traditions including the centuries old Hepworth Feast, which commemorates the end of the Great Plague in Hepworth and is held annually on the last Monday in June. Hepworth along with its nearby neighbour Holmfirth, will be remembered by most as being the home of Compo, Cleggy and Nora Batty, from the long running comedy series 'Last of the Summer Wine', whilst the nearby Colne Valley is home to the fictional 'Skelthwaite' from the successful TV series 'Where the Heart Is'. A lovely area steeped in history where visitors always enjoy the genuine hospitality of a thriving local community.
