This unique detached property enjoys a superb semi-rural setting between Holmfirth and Honley, benefiting from pleasant views and sitting within approximately 5.16 acres of garden and land with stables and a studio building (of which the studio could be converted into an Annexe, subject to the relevant permissions). The house itself offers flexible 4 bedroom accommodation with excellent scope for a new owner to redesign to their own tastes.
Overview
An individually designed detached house which originally dates back to circa 1964 and was remodelled in the 1990s The property is a brick built construction under a mansard style roof. The property occupies a much admired location where properties rarely come available and enjoys wonderful semi-rural views, whilst being within easy reach of Holmfirth's amenities.
The property is entered through a door to the side into the spacious hallway which provides access to almost all of the downstairs accommodation. It also features a wonderful glazed multi-panel window looking through into the lounge and a staircase to the first floor. The lounge is perhaps the most impressive room of the house, featuring a high barrel vaulted ceiling and marble fireplace. Open archways lead through into the front facing conservatory and the dining room.
The kitchen is located adjacent to the dining room and features a range of fitted units with Island and a Rangemaster cooker. It also opens into its own conservatory area with a further opening to the secondary kitchen / utility area – this is part of an extension to the rear of the house that links it to the garage and also includes a rear entrance hall and shower room / wc.
There are 3 bedrooms on the ground floor, all of which are doubles. They are served by a house bathroom with walk in wet room style shower. The principal bedroom is found on the first floor and is a particularly generous in size. It features exposed beams and an uprights, fitted wardrobes and a bank of windows enjoying the views to the front. On this floor there are two useful spaces, currently used as a sitting area and office and a large house bathroom. The loft space can be accessed from the bathroom which, it currently provides useful storage but could offer further potential if required.
It has the benefit of a gas central heating system and double glazed windows. It is connected to mains electricity, gas, water and drainage. It has many appealing designed features and attractive fixtures and fittings but we anticipate that buyers may look to carry out further improvements to meet their own tastes and needs.
The property is accessed via a short unmade lane from Upper Hagg Road and is the only house with access along this lane as it narrows into a public footpath at the gateway to the house. The driveway leads down to a generous parking area to the side and rear of the house where there is access into the attached garage. There is a sauna at the rear of the garage and a wonderful studio across the driveway from the house. The gardens sit largely to the front of the house and enjoy a wonderful aspect over mature wooded grounds.
The house sits in approximately half and acre of grounds with the paddock land immediately adjacent being another 4.6 acres. This is dotted with mature trees and currently subdivided by our clients into pony paddocks. There are also 2 double wooden stables.
