Dearneside Road, Denby Dale, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, HD8

If your DREAM HOME is a COSY CHARACTER COTTAGE yet you're looking for SPACE, then Honeysuckle Cottage may just be PERFECT for EWE! This truly lovely spacious character cottage is nestled in a small cluster of cottages close to the village centre. Viewing is a must to fully appreciate it. 

Originally two separate small cottages, Honeysuckle Cottage is now one exceptionally spacious cottage that has been thoughtfully and tastefully upgraded to create the perfect blend of character and contemporary and retaining many of its original features. Its tucked away location enhances its appeal though it is only a short stroll into Denby Dale village.

Entrance to the cottage is via a small porch and into the large very well appointed kitchen. The excellent range of Shaker style units and quartz worktop blend nicely with the large dual fuel Rangemaster range, Belfast sink and the small wood topped breakfast bar and it has all the integrated appliances you would expect in a modern kitchen: fridge / freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. With three windows to two aspects, it is very light and the bespoke map of the world, which has been carefully applied to one wall, adds an interesting and unusual feature.

At one side, stairs lead up to the first floor and there is also a door to the cellar which is a very large useful space under the kitchen.

On one side, a lovely spacious lounge runs the entire length of the cottage and offers plenty of space for a large comfy sofa at the front as well as enough space for a large dining table at the back. In the centre of one wall, the multifuel stove is set into a recessed chimney breast: note the large single Yorkshire stone flag hearth and the reclaimed timber mantel. This room feels very light thanks to the large windows at the front as well as two windows and glazed door at the back which leads out to a sunny sheltered patio.

Now, let's go back through the kitchen and upstairs to the first floor. Here there are 2 bedrooms, an indulgent bathroom and a staircase leading to the loft room. The first bedroom is a very large double with lovely stone mullion windows and an excellent range of fitted wardrobes. The second is also a double with built in wardrobes and cupboards. The bathroom is a real delight, recently refitted in a contemporary Heritage style which blends beautifully with the style of the cottage. There's a free standing claw foot bath, a large walk in shower and a basin set on a wood drawer and shelf unit. The character features are further enhanced by wood paneling to dado height, a lovely deep wood window sill and a striking Herring bone wood effect flooring which is actually tiled with underfloor heating, not to mention the sliding barn door with black metal runners.

A flight of stairs leads from the landing up to an unexpected large converted loft room which offers versatile space and is currently used as an office, although it would also make a great a hobby or reading room or study. Please note that the steep gradient of these stairs does impact on how this space can be used. 

Outside: The front garden is lawn with a planted border. To the side there is parking for one car in front of the garage. At the rear, there is a flagged patio closest to the house and, at the very back, an elevated raised decked area with colourful mature shrubs in front. The patio gets the sun from morning till afternoon and the decking gets it well into the evening. So the combination is perfect if you enjoy the sun. Between the two sections of garden is a pathway that is accessed from a gap between the garages and provides access to the back gardens of the neighbouring properties though, in reality, it is rarely used.

Please note this cottage has a new boiler, installed in 2022, with a 10 year warranty and new double glazing installed in 2018.

The property is tucked away in a quiet residential area close to open countryside and a short stroll away from the centre of the highly desirable village of Denby Dale and its amenities including artisan shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants as well as a Post Office. For young children, there is a well regarded junior school in the village. There is easy access to road networks both locally and further afield. For those wishing to use the train, it's a 10-15 minute walk to Denby Dale station which has hourly trains to Huddersfield and Sheffield.
