Prospect Cottage

About this property

Prospect Cottage is a characterful Georgian cottage dating back to 1809, resting in the village of Shadwell, West Yorkshire. Within easy reach of Leeds and well suited to families and friends looking to spend time together while exploring this corner of Yorkshire, boasting family-friendly amenities and allows pets. Park on the road outside, then make your way through the front patio, where furniture provides a tranquil spot to pause with a morning drink before stepping through the front door and into the hallway. From here, enter the sitting room and settle into the sofa or one of the armchairs, switch on the electric fire set within the fireplace, and admire the Georgian ceiling before choosing a favourite programme on the Smart TV.

Across the hallway, the dining room continues the period character with further Georgian ceiling details and a dining table where the group can gather over dinner or map out the next day's adventures. Continue through to the breakfast kitchen, where a stone feature wall adds further character to the space. Prepare anything from a leisurely breakfast to an evening meal using the electric double oven and gas hob, while the dishwasher takes care of the clearing up, and the kettle and toaster are ready for easy starts to the day. When evening arrives, take the steps upstairs to choose between two double bedrooms and a single bedroom, providing flexible sleeping arrangements for families and friends.

Steps lead down to the bathroom, where a bath with a shower over gives you the choice of a soak after a day exploring or a refreshing shower before heading out. Back outside, the furnished front patio gives you somewhere to sit in the open air, while the village shop and pub are less than a mile away when you fancy picking up essentials or heading out for a drink. From Shadwell, spend a day discovering Leeds, a little over six miles away, or venture towards Harewood, around four and a half miles from the cottage. Nearby Roundhay Park, Harewood House and the surrounding Yorkshire countryside provide further possibilities for days away from the property, while Wetherby, Harrogate and the Yorkshire Dales offer more destinations for exploring further afield.

Return from your Yorkshire adventures to the Georgian character and welcoming rooms of Prospect Cottage, an inviting Shadwell base for your next break with family or friends.
