This deceptively spacious stone built semi-detached home is located along this ever popular residential cul-de-sac. It briefly comprises entrance hall, living room, dining kitchen with access down to the basement, 3 first floor bedrooms, and house bathroom. It benefits from gas fired central heating and double glazing. Externally, there is a concrete yard to the front offering space to sit out, and then access down the side of the house, or via a door in the basement, leading down to a sizeable garden at the rear. The property is only a short drive from Blackmoorfoot Reservoir and surrounding countryside, the well-regarded Bull’s Head pub & Restaurant, and within walking distance of shops and amenities along Manchester Road. The village of Slaithwaite is a short drive away where you will find lots more shops, bars, restaurants, and a train station. If you like a walk, why not take the canal side towpath up to Slaithwaite and on towards Marsden.
