A stone built semi-detached home enjoying far reaching views to the rear from its hillside position above the village of Slaithwaite. At the front, the property looks out across to a row of attractive Georgian period cottages. Since the current owners purchased the property in 2018, they have carried out a programme of modernisation including opening up the kitchen and dining room to create an impressive living kitchen with wood burning stove, and they have combined the 2 smaller bedrooms to create a very spacious master bedroom. The accommodation briefly comprises entrance lobby, dining room/lounge, open plan kitchen & lounge, useful basement with potential for conversion, 2 double bedrooms, and house bathroom with shower over. The property has double glazing, and gas fired central heating. Externally you will find a parking bay to the side, small stone outhouse, and a garden at the rear shared with the adjoining neighbour.
