Description

A very attractive 4 bedroomed semi-rural residence occupying a delightful position tucked away on the hillside up at Scapegoat Hill. The original cottage has been extended by the current owners creating a superb dining kitchen. It sits in over half an acre of beautiful gardens and grounds and includes a substantial workshop/garage, a sizeable garden cabin/home office, and potting shed. A real must view for those looking for an individual family home in a countryside setting with stunning views.

ABOUT HILLSIDE FARM

This enviable stone-built cottage is the end in a row of 3 beautiful individual homes which enjoy a wonderful position tucked away at Upper Haughs on the hillside at Scapegoat Hill. It enjoys absolutely breathtaking views across miles of surrounding countryside and far beyond. Not much is known about the history of the original cottage, however, it does appear on an 1890/92 map of the area suggesting that it is at least Victorian. This now very comfortable family home briefly comprises entrance porch, lounge, snug, dining/living kitchen, and the utility room and bedroom 4 both have access to the shower room. There are solid oak skirting boards and architraves throughout the ground floor, and solid oak doors throughout the entire property. On the first floor there are another 3 bedrooms and family bathroom. The property sits well within a plot of over half an acre of well-maintained gardens and grounds where you will find extensive parking and turning area, a well fitted out cabin providing a great home office space, an absolutely huge workshop/garage which measures around 58’ x 18’, a potting shed, and even a tree house.

Although it occupies a superb semi-rural location, it is still within walking distance of the highly regarded Scape House Inn and local Scapegoat Hill Junior & Infant school, if you can stretch to a longer walk, why not visit the ever-popular Bolster Moor Farm Shop & Cafe. There are a good variety of shops, bars, and restaurants in the nearby villages of Golcar, Slaithwaite and Marsden, train stations in both Slaithwaite & Marsden, and for those who commute, junctions 23 & 24 of the M62 are only a short drive away.
