POSITIONED BETWEEN GRANGE MOOR AND MIDDLESTOWN, DOWN DENBY LANE, TRACKS AND FOOTPATHS PROVIDE WONDERFUL RURAL WALKS TOWARDS BRIESTFIELD OR UP TOWARDS GRANGE MOOR AND THE KAYE ARMS. THOSE WHO REQUIRE A DETACHED PROPERTY WITH A HUGE AMOUNT OF POTENTIAL SHOULD VIEW WITHOUT DELAY.

The accommodation briefly comprises a dining kitchen, lounge with woodburning stove, first-floor bedroom, secondary bedroom, nursery, and home office, which also gives access to the bathroom/wet room.

DIRECTIONS

From Grange Moor roundabout head north on Liley Lane. Turn right onto Briestfield Road when entering Grange Moor itself. After a little distance, turn right again onto Denby Lane. Proceed straight down along Denby Lane until you reach a small hamlet of properties. Just before entering the hamlet, turn right onto Denby Grange Lane (an unmade lane). After a short distance, there is a driveway on the left-hand side, and the property is positioned on the right-hand side of this driveway.

Garden

As demonstrated by the photographs and plans included in this brochure, the property benefits from delightful garden areas to the front and side. These include lawned gardens, a greenhouse, and well-established boundary features. A pathway surrounds the property, providing convenient access throughout. There is also a large open-fronted garage/workshop, which is understood to have previously been used to accommodate the former owner’s van, together with an additional outbuilding to the rear that has been used for housing animals. Further outbuildings include a garden shed and a more substantial chicken house, raised on a brick base. The front gardens incorporate areas of traditional dry-stone walling and enjoy a good degree of mature shrubs and trees. It should be noted that the property appears to have been re-roofed in relatively recent years and benefits from uPVC double-glazed windows and new soffits and gutters. The property also benefits from external lighting.
