Description
ABOUT GLEN COTTAGE
The property is believed to originally date back to 1894 and when our clients purchased the house in 1991 the property was simply a double fronted "2 up, 2 down" house. Since then, a scheme of improvements including 3 phases of extensions have been carried out to create the impressive home that you see today.
It enjoys a pleasant tucked away location in the popular village of Wellhouse that lies between Golcar and Slaithwaite. It is situated at the bottom of a short unmade lane and it is a real treat to discover the mature woodland that borders the grounds and the fine views across the valley. A network of footpaths allow easy access from here to enjoy the countryside and the canal towpath at the bottom of the valley.
There are various entrances to the property with the original entrance hall positioned to the front of the building. This features a spindle staircase to the first floor and doors to lounge and dining kitchen. The lounge features a wonderful period fireplace and enjoys views to the front.
The original dining room features a wonderful coved ceiling and sash windows to the front. It is open plan, extending into the kitchen area which is fitted with an excellent range of modern fitted units and features a useful walk in pantry cupboard. It is also open to the bespoke garden room at the side of the house which takes full advantage of the views and has a bank of folding doors to the rear garden. This is undoubtedly the standout feature of the home.
Also on the ground floor, there is a further rear entrance hall / boot room which doubles as a study. This is found at the rear of the house and also features a downstairs wc / cloakroom off it. Further to this, there is a cellar located down a set of stairs from the hall. This has been converted into a utility / laundry room.
The staircase leads to a split first floor landing area with stairs branching off to the front and rear sections of the house. The principal bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom, whilst the other 3 double bedrooms are served by the good sized house bathroom.
Care has been taken to preserve and enhance the original character of the building throughout our client's ownership. They have also added quality modern fittings during the process of works. There is a gas central heating system (boiler fitted 2020) with underfloor heating to the kitchen and garden room.
Externally, there is a generous parking area in front of the house and a paved garden / seating area at the rear of the house. The main garden area to be found at the side of the building with the paved seating area extending from the garden room. It also features a lawned area leading to a further paved seating area with a secluded garden shelter being the ideal place to sit and enjoy the views. The remaining grounds are less cultivated and landscaped but offer the option for the new owner to further landscape or allow to remain wild.
