Description

An exceptionally rare opportunity to purchase this stone built semi-detached property with large gardens and a paddock of land amounting to approximately 1.5 acres in total. The 4 bedroom house offers approximately 2250 sqft of accommodation with great flexibility for the next owner to renovate and redesign.

About Lonan Cottage
This impressive semi-detached cottage is of traditional stone built construction and has been the subject of a 2 storey and single storey extensions with part of the original building being 3 storeys in height. It features stone slate pitched roofs and retains significant character with exposed beams and other details.

The property sits within a conservation area and is accessed from Far Dene via a gated driveway which leads to a large front garden area where there is a garage and a useful outbuilding. The garden wraps around the side of the house and there is a further paddock to the rear – this has its own access from Penistone Road.

Its accommodation features an entrance hall / utility with front door and access through to the dining kitchen which has a gas fired Aga and double doors to the side garden. A door from the kitchen leads to the sitting / dining room which has a garden room extension off it, then a further door leads into the larger lounge which has a conservatory extension to the front and study off to the rear of the building.

Stairs lead up to the first floor landing area which is light and spacious with a bank of built in storage cupboards. There are 3 double bedrooms on this floor. Bedroom 1 is effectively 2 rooms combined into 1 to provide a bedroom and dressing room. It also has an en-suite wc within a recessed cupboard. Bedroom 2 is a good sized rear facing double bedroom whilst bedroom 3 is smaller, currently housing a king sized bed and faces the front. The bedrooms are served by a large house bathroom. An additional double bedroom can be found on the upper floor of the 3 storey section of the building – this has been used in the past as an artist’s studio but could meet a range of alternative uses depending upon the needs of the next owner.

The property is generally well maintained and presented but we do anticipate that the next owner will look to update the electrical and central heating installations. Similarly, the fixtures and fittings, whilst being of a good quality are dated and would benefit from updating and replacing.

It is located at the bottom of Far Dene, just off Penistone Road and is well placed for access to the major road networks, whilst excellent village amenities can be found less than a mile away in the centre of Kirkburton.

This is truly a property of great potential, and we advise a viewing to fully appreciate all that is offered.
