Garden

Set in just over an acre with an additional 1.7 acres that may be available by a separate negotiation, Wood Bottom Farm has a delightful amount of land, including additional paddock space with beautiful pond enjoying a stunning view. The home occupies a truly remarkable location along with only two neighbouring properties of a similar quality and build, this beautiful, very large, detached, stone-built home is set overlooking its delightful formal gardens approached through high stone gate post with automatically operated broad iron gateway. It is immediately apparent that the gardens are both mature and well laid out, having a very long lawn, large tarmacadam driveway, beautiful, cobbled area providing extra parking/display space and a fabulous stone flagged patio once again adjoining the driveway and provides additional parking if so required. There are many hidden gems within the garden, featuring beautiful stonework throughout. Approached over a long rural lane, the property is a short drive away from Meltham’s varied facilities and has easy access to the main road and therefore the motorway networks. It is fair to say that Bent Ley Road in its initial part (once leaving the main road) is somewhat commercial and is a world away from this peaceful rural setting with superb woodland and countryside walks close at hand. With views across the valley, the home enjoys a good degree of privacy.
