Broad Oak, Linthwaite, Huddersfield, HD7 5TE

Overview

This superb detached property occupies a much sought after location, tucked away from the main road running through Linthwaite, located close to the High School, Cricket Club and Bowling Green. It offers spacious well presented accommodation in a good sized plot which extends to approximately 0.3 of an acre with incredible landscaped gardens. All in all, it is a property that requires a full inspection to be entirely appreciated.

ABOUT BROAD OAK BARN

The property was originally built approximately 20 years ago on the site of a former barn. It combines modern construction techniques with a traditional external appearance having been constructed in reclaimed natural stone. It enjoys a pleasant setting down a private lane which is shared with 6 other properties.

One of the owners is a professional landscape gardener and this shows in the love and care that has gone into the incredible garden. A generous additional plot of garden land was purchased in recent times which in our opinion sets this home apart from other similar properties. It features a wonderful octagonal paved area with ornamental pond in front of the house, further outside dining area, greenhouse, extensive lawns, vegetable plot, fruit trees, evergreens, wildlife pond and well stocked borders.

Internally there are entrance halls at the front and rear of the house. The day to day entrance is from the driveway and features a utility room off it and door into the dining kitchen. This is of a particular good sized and fitted with an excellent range of oak fronted base units, wall cupboards and island unit with granite worksurfaces and a Falcon range cooker. There is a stable door into the rear garden from here and a staircase to the first floor. Also on the ground floor there is a large living room with glazed double doors out to the garden and a stone fireplace with living flame effect gas fire. The other entrance hall is to the lane behind the house and features a downstairs wc off.

Moving to the first floor, there is a wonderful landing area, split over 2 levels with a partly exposed roof truss and recessed storage cupboard. The original floor plan featured 4 bedrooms and a study but our clients have modified this to use the 4th bedroom as a walk in dressing room for the principal bedroom. It could be easily adapted back to a true bedroom if required. There are en-suite shower rooms to bedrooms 1 & 2, whilst bedroom 3 is served by the family bathroom. Finally there is also a useful study.

The property is presented to a good modern standard and features a gas central heating system, sealed unit double glazed windows and quality fittings throughout. There are nods to the traditional barn features with reclaimed stonework and timbers without overpowering the lighter more modern feel of the home.

Externally, the property owns the first section of the private lane from Cowersley Lane to the far gable end wall and there is a pleasant paved area in front of the house with external stone steps up to bedroom 2. A block paved driveway at the side provides parking and access to the detached double garage. There is also an additional parking space along the lane beyond the neighbouring properties.

GARDENS
As mentioned earlier the gardens are extensive and are separated into a number of different sections. Firstly the rear garden features an impressive octagonal feature and pond which is surrounded by stone paving and well planted borders which also feature a circle of reclaimed stone posts which we believe are Tenter posts from a former mill. From here a path leads down to a stone paved outside dining area with lean-to greenhouse attached to the side of the garage. Beyond here is a pleasant lawned area with evergreen trees planted along the border to provide beautiful natural screening from the nearby properties. An archway made of willow branches leads through to the larger section to the other side of the garage where you will find a large lawned area with central circular vegetable plot, wildlife pond enclosed by a wooden fence, well stocked borders and an array of fruit trees. There is also a natural spring water supply at the top of the garden.
