Overview
About Intake Cottage
Intake Cottage is a rare property to find on the open market. It balances traditional and contemporary details to great effect and benefits from generous gardens, parking, views and the convenience of Holmfirth centre in easy walking distance.
It has been lovingly cared for by way of improvements that have remained sympathetic to the original character of a traditional cottage. The highlight of the house - the garden room, however was completed circa 2014 and won a number of awards at the time, including one from the RIBA. It features a dry stone wall frontage and a "living roof" which is detailed with reclaimed stone allowing it to blend in with the gardens.
The cottage is entered through a stone porch to the front which leads into the dining kitchen. There is also a large open plan living / dining room which was formerly two rooms and features 2 stone fireplaces. Stone steps lead down to a cellar and utility area with wc. It is from the cellar that access is provided to the garden room which features full height sliding doors to the front patio area. There is also a separate entrance hall area into the garden. Upstairs there are 3 double bedrooms and modern shower room.
It is well presented throughout having uPVC double glazed windows throughout the original cottage and aluminium framed windows and doors to the extension. The property has a gas fired central heating system as well as an electric Aga in the kitchen and features log burning stoves in both the living room and garden room (which also features under floor heating).
Externally the gardens have been beautifully landscaped to provide a number of seating areas, lawn and borders with sweeping paths leading down to the parking area which is located on Dunford Road.
