Additional Information

It should be noted the property does require some rejuvenation. We are informed it was at one time two homes; one being the cottage, the other being the barn, which has now all been amalgamated. The property will be sold with the following covenant: This covenant, placed on the property by the family, is that there should be no further dwellings within the gardens and grounds, although there is no objection regarding the current home being divided into two if so desired.

Garden

Externally, the property occupies a truly beautiful and remarkable position, just a few hundred yards from Penistone Road which passes through Kirkburton. The lane leads up to a hamlet of delightful properties, with the subject property occupying the most splendid position and standing in approximately two acres of gardens, grounds and woodland. The property has been a much-loved family home for many years and exceptional care has been given to the gardens and grounds. There is a delightful outbuilding located close to the dining kitchen, a beautiful greenhouse in the enclosed vegetable garden area, and a large tarmacadam driveway with twin timber gates providing a superb amount of parking space and potential for additional garaging, with a substantial car port already in place. Pathways meander through the gardens, capturing lovely views across the valley. There is also an area of woodland across the beck/stream which provides privacy and gives security of outlook. The setting is truly magical, benefitting from mature fir trees, delightful lawns, well-planted flowerbeds, and a particularly characterful summerhouse. The beck gently passes by to create a true babbling brook experience and there is a timber bridge passing over it and a weir gate which creates a water feature. At the time of creating this brochure, the sun was shining, the birds are singing and it is served by a lovely view of neighbouring farmland with cattle grazing. The property will be sold with the following covenant: This covenant, placed on the property by the family, is that there should be no further dwellings within the gardens and grounds, although there is no objection regarding the current home being divided into two if so desired.
