A fantastic opportunity to acquire this 4 bedroomed residence along with the attached 1 bedroomed cottage which nestles into the hillside at West Slaithwaite overlooking the railway line and enjoying stunning far reaching panoramic views beyond. The properties are ready for a programme of modernisation but offer scope for you to create a wonderful family home with the potential for the cottage to act as a granny/teenage annexe, or perhaps turn it into an Airbnb rental. There are ample gardens, off road parking, and a double garage.
