Gib Lane, Skelmanthorpe, Huddersfield, HD8 9BG

Are you looking for a pretty stone built cottage? This property provides the perfect opportunity to entirely personalise your own home close to the bustling village centre of Skelmanthorpe. Having been a much loved family home for over 60 years, these two cottages were knocked through into one spacious property and now offer:- entrance hall, living/dining kitchen, large lounge, three first floor bedrooms and a house bathroom. Externally there is a private enclosed garden, adjoining outbuilding and two further detached brick built stores. The property does provide the potential to convert the house back into two cottages and there is also the space to the side to extend out to the side, subject to the neccessary planning permissions and concents. The property is positioned away from the road yet within a short distance of all the local amenities including shops, cafes, bars, restaurants, schools and sports facilities/clubs. There are excellent commuter links to neighbouring towns and cities also.
