Colsterdale Cottage 128A WASHER LANE, HALIFAX

Colsterdale Cottage is set off Washer Lane, in an exclusive group of gated properties. Despite being so close to Sowerby Bridge it feels very quiet and tucked away here, ideally placed just a short stroll from the Calder Canal and the wonderful walking at Norland. It's also a straightforward drive to Halifax, Calderdale Hospital and the M62, making it a brilliant best-of-both-worlds location for commuters. The facilities of Sowerby Bridge and Halifax are close-by too, so you're never far from a great choice of bars, restaurants, shops and supermarkets.

The house offers very generously-proportioned rooms and a flexible layout, its original features beautifully balanced and complimented with modern, colourful on trend colours. The ground floor has a welcoming and adaptable semi open-plan layout, while on the first floor you'll find two large double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The third bedroom is on the second floor complete with its own ensuite bathroom, making it equally suitable for guests, a teenager or as a fantastic hobby space. Fans of DIY need not apply - simply unpack, relax and start enjoying the good life!

Outside you'll find parking for two cars and large south-facing gardens with gorgeous views, just perfect for outdoor entertaining. Welcome friends and family to barbeques on the large patio area immediately adjacent to the house and accessed by patio doors from bedroom one. From here a path leads up onto a good-sized lawned area above, complete with lovely mature borders. You'll find a recently-built garden office here and behind this is a small area of woodland also owned by the house, where deer roam. Go to sleep each night to the sound of owls hooting - it's simply idyllic!

Lets go back inside now and learn more about this gorgeous house. Entering into the property, you come straight into a small porch which is ideal for shoes and coats. From here you enter into an enormous semi open-plan kitchen, dining room, sitting room and music room / office. This is a huge room, but partial walls and changes in floor level subtly define the space and create cosy corners for a wonderfully comforting feel.

The kitchen is light and bright, featuring simple white gloss base units with open oak shelving above, for a modern yet timeless feel. Cooking is taken care of with an induction hob and electric oven, and there's an integrated dishwasher and space for a large fridge-freezer too. From here you go through into the main part of the room where there's plenty of space for a couple of armchairs in front of the wood-burning stove. You'll embrace winters days here, warm in front of the fire with a cuppa and the newspaper! Adjacent is the dining area, with room for a large table seating the whole family, and beyond this a single step takes us up into the wonderfully cosy lounge. There's space for a a couple of chunky sofas around the TV, and it's the perfect spot to relax together in the evening with the latest boxset.

A partial wall separates the lounge from a second reception room, once a garage and now used as a music room and office. This is a versatile space and could have a number of uses such as a playroom or there's the opportunity to create a second seating area combined with occasional bedroom for guests. Finishing off this floor is the very handy utility/cloakroom which is located just off the living room. In here you'll find lots of space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, with a useful WC. Ideal for guests and children.

Going upstairs to the first floor you will find two large double bedrooms and the house bathroom. The master bedroom is a bright and airy room which benefits from being dual aspect and features French doors which open out onto a large patio to the side of the house. Perfect for sitting out on summer days with a morning cup of coffee or tea. There are lovely views from the bedroom towards Norland and plenty of room in here for a super king size bed and bags of wardrobe space too, or perhaps you'd choose to add an ensuite? The choice is yours! The second bedroom on this floor is another large double bedroom, which also has ample space for plenty of bedroom furniture. There's two large built in wardrobes and more lovely views to the south. The house bathroom is accessed through here but the simple addition of a stud wall would allow access from the hallway without compromising on bedroom size. The house bathroom itself is fitted to the highest standard, featuring Duravit ceramics and travertine tiling for a spa-like feel. With a twin-ended bath perfect for a relaxing soak and separate large walk in shower for when you're in more of a hurry this bathroom takes care of all your needs. A back-to-the-wall WC and a large washbasin with storage beneath and lit mirror above finishes off this lovely room.

On the second floor you will find last but not least the attic bedroom and ensuite. A charming and intriguing attic bedroom with ensuite bathroom. This has wonderful character thanks to the sloping ceilings and exposed purlins. It would make a brilliant space for a teenager, being almost two rooms in one. The stairs from the first floor emerge into the first section, with built in painted seat and space for a sofa too. This would be a great study / chill out area. The room then opens into a larger space beautifully lit by a Velux window, perfect for the bed. Then finally we come to the large ensuite bathroom, which comes complete with bath, WC and basin, and again lit by a roof window.

So that's it; three double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a huge living space, plus delightful gardens complete with garden office. With a high-quality finish and stunning views, this striking and very flexible home really is a must-see. If you haven't considered the Sowerby Bridge area before, rest assured this is a unique property in a very special location.
