DESCRIPTION
Sometimes we refer to the overused Three L's adage, sometimes it's character features that take centre stage and we will often remark how much potential a property has. Well, try and imagine an opportunity where you get location, masses of potential, originality everywhere you look and, to add the icing to the cake, simply stunning views. This unique and highly individual family home has it all, occupying a beautiful setting on the edge of open countryside it takes full advantage of the glorious outlook and within it's generous plot, provides great potential for enhancement to the current accommodation and garaging provision, development of the front of the site may also be a possibility. It is also rather deceptive, it's front elevation belying the true size of the building and there is no doubt (cue another overused phrase), an internal inspection is essential for the proportions on offer to be fully appreciated. It enjoys gas central heating, double glazing and unusually for an older property in a setting such as this, connection to all mains services.
For those that love and use the countryside often, the location is perfect, the runner or walker will love the myriad of local footpaths, the keen cyclist will appreciate the ease of access to the Peaks, via the challenge of The Strines climbs, Holme Moss is also within easy reach. For the commuter, Stocksbridge bypass links through to the M1 for southerly journeys, the M1 north can also be reached in less than 15 minutes.
The spacious and versatile layout provides a generous entrance vestibule which proves to be an ideal place for storing outdoor clothing and footwear and this leads through to the formal Dining Room. To the left of this room is the Lounge, this in turn offers access to the rear facing Garden Room and the Study, this also being set to the rear of the Dining Room. There is a very well proportioned Cloaks/WC which could easily accommodate a shower cubicle if required and the ground floor is completed by a good sized Breakfast Kitchen and a charming Utility/Boot Room. To the first floor are four Bedrooms, three doubles and a single, two of the larger rooms being set to opposing sides of the house and each having an adjoining Bathroom or Shower Room. The landing is also worthy of note, providing as it does a charming part galleried feature overlooking the study below and having a built in church pew to provide seating.
Outside there are generous gardens, mostly set to the front but including a lovely rear garden which is well enclosed and sheltered form the elements. A stone set driveway provides ample parking but there is plenty of space available within the site should the new owner wish to enhance the parking area, secure parking being provided by a detached true Double Garage.
