Overview
About Wells Green
An imposing stone built semi-detached house with stone slate roof which we believe dates back to Victorian times. The property is fairly unique in style for its setting and sits down an unmade lane off the main road through Netherthong village, within a Conservation Area. This location allows easy access the village amenities and also the nearby open countryside and footpaths leading down to the centre of Holmfirth.
Our clients have lived here since 2005 and have taken great care to preserve the original integrity of the house whilst carrying out cosmetic improvements and updating of the kitchen and bathroom fittings. It has a gas central heating system and partial double glazing – with many original sash frames in situ.
The day to day entrance is via a glazed porch at the rear which provides a welcoming space to take off boots and coats – it also has plumbing for a washing machine to double up as a utility room. A door leads from here into the dining kitchen which features fitted units and an island with wooden worksurfaces. A lobby area with door to the garden also provides access to the downstairs WC.
Also off the kitchen is a doorway into the dining room (currently used as a music / sitting room) and featuring a period fireplace. A hallway spans from the front to the rear of the house and features a stunning staircase to the first floor with wooden handrail. The lounge then sits at the front of the building windows overlooking the gardens and a parquet wooden floor. There are 2 large cellars beneath the house which offer further potential for renovation.
On the upper floor there is a large landing area overlooking the beautiful arched window on the rear elevation which features coloured glazed panels. The principal bedroom overlooks the garden and also features built-in wardrobes to either side of the chimney breast. Next door to this bedroom, there is a house bathroom tasteful modern fittings in a traditional style. A lobby area off the landing gives access to 2 further double bedrooms one of which has its own en-suite shower room.
Externally, the property is approached at the rear from Broomy Lea Lane where you will find a parking area, lawned garden and a large paved seating area at the rear of the building. The front garden is enclosed and features a lawn, paved patio, well stocked borders and a superb modern garden room / studio which has been a much loved space for our client to work from home.
