Thornhill Road, Brighouse

***MARTIN THORNTON PLATINUM***

This double-fronted, characterful three/four-bedroom Grade II Listed family home blends contemporary and period features with sizeable accommodation on three levels. The house was formerly two properties combined to make one spacious family home, and is located in this well-regarded and highly accessible location, with ease of access to the motorway network. The accommodation comprises an entrance porch with double doors leads to an inner lobby, a large living room, a similarly sized dining kitchen with wood burning stove, a sitting room with the "wow-factor," with a high angled ceiling, exposed beams and stonework, and a floor-to-ceiling fireplace with a multi fuel stove, as well as a home office with an adjoining WC. On the lower ground floor is the playroom/bedroom four, which has double doors and steps up to the drive. Adjoining this is an office/study/gaming room and a large shower room, which would potentially make the lower ground floor an ideal teenage annex. On the first floor are three good-sized bedrooms, the large master bedroom with its own en suite shower room, and a stylish house bathroom with four-piece suite. The property has a gas fired central heating system, and majority sealed unit double glazing. Externally, behind the perimeter stone walling, there are lawned gardens, parking, and a handsome stone-built small barn. The driveway serves Whitegate House and the neighbouring property to the rear. This wonderful family home is full of character and in an ideal commuter location. An early inspection is advised to appreciate all that is on offer.
