This superb detached dormer bungalow occupies an enviable location adjoining open fields in one of the areas most admired streets. It offers flexible 3 bedroom accommodation which has recently undergone comprehensive improvement by our client but still offers further scope for redesign and extension to a more substantial dwelling if required (subject to PP). The bungalow sits within a generous plot with good sized gardens, parking and a double garage.
Overview
ABOUT LARKSMERE
This individually designed detached dormer bungalow is believed to have been originally constructed during the 1960s. Our client purchased the property in 2022 and has since carried out extensive renovation works and some redesigning of the internal layout but has come to the decision to sell as it is too large for their requirements. They will consider the possibility of taking a smaller local property in part exchange if the right opportunity arises.
The bungalow enjoys an impressive plot with well maintained gardens to the front and rear, generous parking and a large detached double garage. It adjoins open fields and enjoys wonderful south facing views to the rear.
The ground floor entrance hall leads through to the large living / dining kitchen which is fitted with an excellent range of modern units which were installed by our client. Double doors lead from here to the lounge which is a single storey extension at the rear of the house, taking in the views. Also on the ground floor there is a utility room, bathroom, separate wc, double bedroom and a sitting room / office with staircase to the first floor. Upstairs there is a landing area with 2 double bedrooms which are served by a shower room.
Our client has had good quality double glazed windows installed throughout along with new composite doors to the front and rear. The central heating system has also been upgraded along with some rewiring, replastering and decoration.
Externally, there is a garden area and driveway at the front leading to the detached double garage – this has large loft space over offering further potential. At the rear of the house is a larger enclosed garden adjoining the fields. It features a seating area, vegetable beds, lawn, 2 greenhouses and well stocked borders.
The village of Upper Cumberworth is often favoured by commuters and family buyers. It has a popular village pub, post office / general store and Junior and Infant school.
There is beautiful open countryside close to hand and further amenities available in Holmfirth and Denby Dale. It also enjoys easy access to the M1 motorway network with Leeds, Wakefield, Sheffield and Barnsley all in easy reach.
