The property
Kirk Styles is an impressive farmhouse that displays plenty of period character throughout, including exposed timber beams, stripped oak wooden flooring, stone mullions, panelled reception rooms and grand original fireplaces, alongside elegant, attractive contemporary décor and fittings.

The ground floor has multiple reception rooms which perfectly balance modern family living with the space for entertaining. These include an impressive dual aspect games room with its French doors to the garden and ample space for a full-size snooker table. A sitting room with full height windows and galleried landing above, a delightful drawing room with sash windows and cosy snug that leads downstairs to the wine cellar and tasting room.

A formal dining room flows through to the splendid open plan kitchen and Amdega orangery, which is a light and airy space, with the kitchen featuring a bespoke range of hand built furniture by Mark Wilkinson's Cooks, complemented by Granite work surfaces, a central island and an Aga, whilst the orangery offers a fantastic space for a dining table or seating area and captures the outstanding views over the grounds. Additionally, the ground floor accommodation includes a generous utility room, boot room, home gym, two cloakrooms and double bedroom with dressing room and en suite that is ideal as guest accommodation.


The grand hall boasts a vaulted ceiling with a galleried landing above that leads to the first floor accommodation with a further five generous double bedrooms, including the luxury principal bedroom with its private south facing balcony overlooking the extensive grounds, a dressing room and luxury en suite bathroom with separate walk in shower. One further bedroom is also en suite with dressing area. Completing the first floor is the family bathroom presented in a traditionally style suite with a step-in corner shower and a free-standing Cast Iron bath.

A separate one bedroom annexe comprises an open plan living/kitchen/dining area with good sixed double bedroom, contemporary shower room, separate utility and WC ideal as a holiday let or for multigenerational living.

Services: Mains electricity and water. Private drainage which we believe is compliant to the current regulations. Oil-fired central heating.

Outside
The house is set in a beautifully landscaped garden and includes several outbuildings, including the one bedroom annexe with a double garage with power, lighting and two electronically operated roller shutter doors, a third bay is currently used as a storeroom, with power, lighting and housing the cylinder tank for the annexed accommodation and a studio/office with its own access.

Behind the house and majority of the outbuildings is an oak framed purpose-built triple garage, internally open plan with power, lighting and three electronically operated roller shutter doors.

The garden includes patio areas for al fresco dining, a water feature, pristine lawns, well-trimmed shrubs and hedgerows, various mature trees and a splendid pond. The driveway leads through peaceful woodland to the gravel parking area and courtyards, which provide plenty of parking space and access to the outbuildings.

Land
There is approximately 21 acres split between multiple fields which are mostly laid for grass and are on an annual grazing agreement but there is also a small amount of amenity woodland.

Location
The property occupies a peaceful rural position between the large villages of Skelmanthorpe, Shelley and Shepley, and less than a mile from the small village of Lower Cumberworth. Skelmanthorpe has various everyday amenities, including local shops, restaurants and cafés, while local schooling includes the outstanding-rated Cumberworth C of E School, and for secondary, Shelley College. The large and historic town of Huddersfield is just six miles to the northwest, with its excellent selection of retailers, supermarkets and leisure facilities, as well as access to further schooling, such as the outstanding Greenhead College and the independent Huddersfield Grammar School and The Mount School. Both the M1 and M62 are within 10 miles, while mainline rail services can be accessed in Huddersfield.
