1 Albion House Booth House Road, Luddendenfoot, Halifax

Located in a beautiful rural position, this double fronted over dwelling has to be seen to be believed. Set in manicured mature gardens with stunning views every which way you turn, be prepared to be captivated by the charm and elegance of this unique and original residence. Although tucked away down a small country lane, the house benefits from being close to good transport links with Mytholmroyd  train station being just a short drive away. This has services to Manchester, Leeds and beyond. Not only that, there are a number of good towns close by such as the renowned Hebden Bridge and Sowerby Bridge which has a vast array of restaurants and shops. If you need schools, it is in the catchment area of Luddendenfoot Academy primary school which is rated Outstanding by OFSTED and there are also a number of excellent secondary schools close by too.

Now to the house, as you can see by the front of the house picture, there are two front doors, one of which leads into the kitchen, while the other leads into the house hallway. We will start in the hallway as it is here you really get a taste of the period features that abound throughout this property. Upon entering through this door you are greeted by an imposing large stained glass window and original Victorian tiles. Period coving highlights the high ceilings which are typical of houses of this era. From here you can enter the living room, dining room, kitchen and you will also find the stairs to the upper floor. The majority of rooms are dual aspect and have a mixture of original sash windows and double glazing. There is also handy under the stairs storage which is an ideal space for storing household items.

The kitchen is a lovely space and is dual aspect which makes this a light, bright and airy room. There is an array of matching wall and base units along with space and  plumbing for a dishwasher and washing machine. There is a breakfast bar and lots of room for a kitchen table. It is easy to imagine cooking on the large range cooker for family and friends while looking out on those wonderful views. 

The dining room which is right next to the kitchen is a gorgeous room. As with the kitchen it is dual aspect which means it gets flooded with lots of natural light. There is a modern Mendip multi fuel stove in here and plenty of room for a couch and large dining table. The original sash window to the rear and high ceilings gives this room a sophisticated feel and its a perfect room for dinner parties and entertaining in. 

When the days draw to a close, the elegant and refined living room is an ideal place to close the world out, light the fire in the Stovax stove and retire for the evening. Again this is another beautiful room which is full of stylish character. There are two windows in this room making this another lovely light airy room to take full advantage of the wonderful views.

Lets go upstairs...here you will be greeted with 3 large double bedrooms, a study and the family bathroom. The character features continue up here too with an original fireplace found in the master bedroom. This room is a terrific size and has plenty of room for a king size bed and bedroom furniture. There are two windows in this room too which allows you to make the most of the views.

Bedroom number two is a large room with lovely views, original inbuilt storage cupboards and a period fireplace. While bedroom 3 is another good size, this has the added benefit of another room just off it which is currently being used as a study but could easily double up as an occasional bedroom, a walk in wardrobe or potential ensuite. The choice is yours!

The family bathroom completes this floor. It is contemporary in style with lots of natural light and consists of two sinks, WC and shower over the bath. 

Now to the outside. To the front of the house, there is a paved stone area behind period feature iron fencing. Here you could have a number of different seating areas and the current owners have their log store out here. To the side of the house there is a beautiful mature garden which is laid to lawn and has flower beds as well as a walkway around it. There is also another seating area which is ideal for relaxing in, absorbing the tranquil environment and hearing the delightful birdsong. To the other side of the house there are steps down to another seating area which would be an ideal space for your additional storage needs. The property also comes with one parking space which is found to the front of the house.
