A RATHER SPECIAL, 1920's BUILT SEMI-DETACHED FAMILY HOME, ENJOYING EXTENSIVE ACCOMMODATION OVER FOUR DISTINCTIVE FLOORS AND PANORAMIC REAR VIEWS. Commanding a very desirable residential position at the end of a row of three properties close to the Haworth Park and Art Gallery, this traditional house has been thoughtfully improved  & enlarged with style and imagination to offer truly deceptive four bedroom, two bathroom accommodation .

Entering the reception hall, you will appreciate a tasteful fusion of character features with modern living. An original black & white tiled entrance and varnished wood staircase lead you into the bay fronted lounge. Graced by a polished wood fire surround and living flame gas fire this spacious room offers a comfortable main living space. The separate formal dining room benefits from a black, wood burning stove recessed into the chimney breast with a tall picture window enjoying rear views of the garden and hills. Adjacent is the superb, well fitted kitchen. Solid oak wood fronted units are complemented by white work surfaces with integral appliances of fridge, freezer dishwasher, four ring gas hob, canopy hood, electric double oven and microwave oven. Under unit LED lighting captures the feature sparkle tiled floor with under heating. From the head of the hall a PVCu door gives access to a long side storage room/pantry with exterior doors to front & rear.

The lower floor staircase is also located from the hall. A hallway with storage provides entry to a large office/ music room with a glazed panel window onto the rear facing, lower floor sitting room. Formerly used for recording, sound insulation has been added to the walls of the sitting room with a double set of sliding patio doors at the rear. A separate utility room with fitted wall/ base units & sink is located to the side with additional exterior access. Completing the lower floor is a separate W.C. with wash hand basin. The layout of this lower floor would be ideal as self contained accommodation for an extended family or teenager.

Arriving on the first floor landing, a return staircase leads to the second floor and original 'one over three' wood interior doors to the bedrooms and bathroom. The main double bedroom is rear facing with full height mirrored wardrobes to one wall and spectacular elevated views. The second is a front facing double with alcove wardrobes and the third is a single.
