Description
About Cedar Woods
This individual detached house was designed by Huddersfield based Architect Andrew Buck in the mid 1960s. Buck was known to be a great admirer of the work of Frank Lloyd Wright and this property takes many cues from his iconic designs whilst optimising light and open plan design radical at that time. Cedarwoods offers magnificent views over the surrounding gardens and landscape.
The external fabric of the building combines a steel frame, stone work, cedar cladding, rendering and a wealth of large picture windows which are positioned to enjoy the views. Internally, the property retains many original details, although we entirely anticipate that the new owner may well wish to put their own input into the design. A number of successful, now lapsed planning applications have been made over more recent times which involved the redesign of the single storey wing of the building, conversion of the garage to a separate dwelling and stables in the paddock – we feel that there is further potential for a larger extension subject to the necessary consents being obtained. The property is priced to support such investments.
The property occupies a much sought-after rural setting between the villages of Honley and Netherthong/ Deanhouse and is also easily placed for access to Holmfirth where there are a great many local amenities, independent shops, bars and restaurants. It sits within a plot of approximately 2 acres split equally into beautiful gardens and a paddock of grazing land.
The main entrance door to the property is via the hallway which features a tall picture window to the front, aligning with a feature glazed panel in the dining room and a further full height window at the rear of the building which allows a glimpse of the views before entering inside. From the hallway, there is a staircase to the first floor and access to the lounge and kitchen. There are also 2 storage cupboards, and a shower room / wc.
The lounge is of excellent proportions and features windows to the side and rear enjoying the views. The living / dining kitchen is of a similar size and also features windows overlooking the grounds and beyond.
It has recently been refitted with functional modern units. Between the lounge and kitchen sits the aforementioned dining room with its glazed wall and window to the rear.
A second entrance hall is to be found at the other end of the house and has the potential to create boot / cloakroom. A door from here leads through into the utility room which in turn takes you through to the kitchen. Also accessed from this hall is a downstairs bedroom with en-suite – with some thoughtful design this could be reconfigured into an annex area.
As you climb the staircase to the first floor of the house you which dominates the large landing area and provides an alternative view of the surroundings. There are 4 bedrooms on this level, the principal bedroom having an en-suite bathroom whilst the other 3 are served by the house bathroom. We fully expect that the next owner will look to update these bathrooms to a more modern specification.
The property has a gas central heating system and hardwood double glazed windows. It is connected to mains water, gas and electricity. Drainage is to a septic tank. It should also be noted that the entire roof of the building was recovered in 2024 with a 20 guarantee.
Externally, the property is accessed via a tarmac driveway from the road where there is generous parking and access to the detached garage / workshop.
Paths wrap around the front and side of the building leading to the gardens which are located to the other side and rear of the house. These are mostly lawned with well stocked flower beds and borders. Beyond the formal garden area is further lawned garden which runs down by way of a ‘Ha Ha’ to Hagg Wood. Further grazing land is available by separate negotiation.
Properties of this style and stature are very rare to the market and we hope that the next owner will enjoy this home as much as the original owners have.
