About glen cottage

The property is believed to originally date back to 1894 and when our clients purchased the house in 1991 the property was simply a double fronted "2 up, 2 down" house. Since then, a scheme of improvements including 3 phases of extensions have been carried out to create the impressive home that you see today.

It enjoys a pleasant tucked away location in the popular village of Wellhouse that lies between Golcar and Slaithwaite. It is situated at the bottom of a short unmade lane and it is a real treat to discover the mature woodland that borders the grounds and the fine views across the valley. A network of footpaths allow easy access from here to enjoy the countryside and the canal towpath at the bottom of the valley.

There are various entrances to the property with the original entrance hall positioned to the front of the building. This features a spindle staircase to the first floor and doors to lounge and dining kitchen. The lounge features a wonderful period fireplace and enjoys views to the front.
