Location

The rural village of Salterforth enjoys a convenient position on the border between the counties of Lancashire and Yorkshire.

Description

The house is entered via an entrance vestibule from a storm porch into a generous entrance hall with oak boarded floor from which a couple of steps lead up to a raised area with staircase leading to the first floor via a half landing. At the end of the hall is a separate cloakroom with w.c and pedestal wash basin. To one side is a beautifully appointed breakfast kitchen with a comprehensive range of cream coloured base and wall units, granite work surfaces, inset 1 ½ bowl ceramic sink and a matching island unit with base cupboards and granite surface. There is an ‘Everhot' electric range cooker set in a feature surround and an integrated dishwasher. At one end of the kitchen is a generous breakfast area with bench seating. Off the kitchen is a very useful utility room providing additional storage space and a laminate work surface with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer below.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a cosy snug with beams to the ceiling, across the hall from which is a spacious living room with solid fuel range set in a stone surround with mantlepiece and hearth. Double French doors open out into a tasteful timber framed covered seating area.

Beyond the living room is the generous family dining room with oak boarded floor and feature beams.

On the first floor the spacious central landing gives way to an extremely useful walk in linen/general store, the house bathroom and four generous bedrooms. The master bedroom has a walk in wardrobe/store and a well appointed en suite bathroom with panelled bath, pedestal wash basin and w.c. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are both accessed from the landing via steps and have exposed roof beams and timbers.
