A BEAUTIFULLY POSITIONED, DETACHED, FOUR BEDROOM FAMILY HOME WITHIN GARDENS AND GROUNDS THAT ARE SURE TO AMAZE AND OFFERING STUNNING VIEWS ACROSS THE VALLEY, TOWARDS WOODLAND AND FARMLAND. THIS SOUTHERLY-FACING HOME DOES REQUIRE SOME REJUVENATION AND OFFERS THE FORTUNATE PURCHASER A HUGE AMOUNT OF SCOPE TO ENHANCE THE ALREADY SPACIOUS ACCOMMODATION OR INDEED TO EXTEND AND UTILISE THE PROPERTY’S LARGE PLOT. THE PROPERTY IS A SHORT WALK AWAY FROM DENBY DALE’S VARIED FACILITIES, INCLUDING SCHOOL, SHOPS, PUB, RESTAURANTS, CHURCH AND TRAIN STATION.

The accommodation briefly comprises entrance hall, downstairs w.c., and then a combination of three rooms including family room, kitchen and dining room which are currently separate but could easily create a superb living dining kitchen with views to both the front and rear (subject to necessary works and consent). A staircase leads down to the integral double garage, while a further staircase leads up to a superb sitting room with high angled and beamed ceiling and views to the front and rear. To the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms, with bedroom one benefitting from en-suite, and a house bathroom. The large gardens need to be seen to be truly appreciated, particularly the extensive rear gardens. In terms of accessibility, the property is located in an elevated position above Wakefield Road and is approximately 9 miles away from junction 39 on the M1 motorway. Please note, the property’s roof was also fully relined in 2024.

Front Garden

Dobroyd enjoys a stunning position, being elevated above the road and offering a wonderful woodland and rural view across the valley. The property offers a great deal of scope, as shown by the neighbouring properties which have created garage extensions to the front with balconies above. Boasting an unique driveway with a good amount of parking and turning space, the driveway leads to the integral double garage, which has a personal door through to the property's accommodation and also a further garage door to the rear. The driveway then leads round the entirety of the property to this further garage door. Though this is now obscured by steps leading up to the side door and the placement of a garden shed, we are reliably informed that the previous vendors would drive a caravan round the side of the property and then drive the car through the garage back to the front of the property. At the very least, the double garage provides garaging for two vehicles and a doorway giving access to the rear. The front gardens are mature, with a lawn area, part-hedge and part-fence boundaries, and enjoy the stunning views.

Rear Garden

The rear gardens are quite simply fantastic. Time should be allowed when viewing this property to walk to the very top of the garden which is much further than might first be imagined and features a 'secret' garden concealed by mature shrubbery and trees, which is principally down to lawn and features a former pergola which at one time enjoyed tremendous views over the gardens and of the valley beyond. It should be noted that this was prior to the coniferous trees maturing as they have. The rear gardens are exceptionally private and lovely, and are also home to a good-sized greenhouse.
