A unique brick built detached bungalow occupying a generous plot in this sought after semi-rural setting. The property is extended to the side and offers much more than first meets the eye when viewing. It is situated on a generous plot with landscaped gardens, parking, double garage and enjoys outstanding views to the rear. Internal viewing is essential.
Overview
ABOUT 17 BLACKMOORFOOT
The property is of brick built construction and has been extensively redesigned to create a spacious and flexible home which is larger than first expected. It has a substantial extension to the side which incorporates a stunning reception hall, an additional garage, utility room, wet room and a large bedroom over the garages. We were equally impressed by the generous plot that it sits within and the expansive views to the rear.
The glazed front entrance porch opens into the reception hall which features a high angled ceiling and picture window to the rear enjoying the views. A lobby area from here leads into the original part of the bungalow which features a large open plan living room with dining area, kitchen, 3 bedrooms and bathroom.
To the other side of the hall is a utility room and wet room which run behind the 2 garages. Open tread stairs lead up to the first floor above, where there is a large double bedroom with fitted furniture and an en-suite wc.
The property is well presented throughout with a gas central heating system, intruder alarm and uPVC double glazing. We expect that the next owner might look to redesign the property to their own tastes with potential to possibly extend into the first garage – subject to the necessary consents being obtained.
It sits within a generous well landscaped plot with a broad frontage to Blackmoorfoot Road where there is a good sized garden area enclosed by wrought iron railings and a block paved driveway providing access to the garages. The rear garden has an expansive paved seating area from which to enjoy the views and a lawned garden beyond.
Blackmoorfoot is a small hamlet of properties located above the village of Linthwaite, boasting a popular village pub / restaurant and enjoying wonderful open countryside walk with Blackmoorfoot reservoir close to hand. Excellent village amenities including Railway Stations on the Leeds – Manchester Line will also be found in the nearby villages of Slaithwaite and Marsden.
The property is offered for sale with vacant possession and no onward chain.
