Description
About 20 Wood Lane
Enjoying a location which offers countryside from the doorstep whilst being a short walk from the thriving centre of Holmfirth, this superb cottage would be perfect for a family looking to enjoy outdoor living without being stranded away from amenities. It is predominantly of traditional stone built construction with rendered and painted outer walls beneath a pitched stone slate roof. We understand that it was previously 2 farm cottages and a barn with the oldest section believed to date back to circa 1790.
Wood Lane is a steeply sloping single track lane which is accessed from Huddersfield Road, becoming a footpath after the adjacent cottages within this row. There are green belt fields to the side and rear of the cottage, whilst the generous mature grounds provide a pleasant aspect at the front.
The internal accommodation features a large living / dining kitchen with stone fireplace, cast iron range, beams and mullioned windows. A large utility room is located at the rear and doubles as cloaks / boot room when coming in from outdoors. In the centre of the house there is a hallway which leads into a study, wc and also a smaller glazed room – our client’s music room off it. Also accessed from the hall is a large lounge which again features a stone fireplace, log burning stove and exposed beams.
The upper floor is accessed via a staircase from the hall which leads to the split landing area. To the right you will find the principal bedroom and bedroom 4 which share an en-suite shower room. The 4th bedroom could alternatively be used as a dressing room if required. The remaining rooms are located to the other side of the landing, both accommodate double beds and are served by the large family bathroom.
The interior of the property retains many period features and has a warm and inviting rustic feel to it, but we expect that the next owner will look to carry out additional improvements to their own tastes. It benefits
from a gas central heating system and is connected to all mains services. Solar panels are mounted to the roof of the adjacent building and provide a generous feed-in
tariff (fixed to 2037) and there is a solar thermal hot water system on the rear roof slope of the house.
Externally, the property is accessed via a driveway in front of the adjacent cottages with a wooden 5 bar gate. Whilst the driveway which continues in front of this cottage does not form part of the title it has been utilised and maintained by our clients throughout their ownership – an occasionally used footpath runs along here into the field to the side. At the side of the house there is generous parking and a wonderful wooden
outbuilding with storage shed, log store and an open fronted sheltered outside dining / seating area.
The gardens are positioned to the front and side of the building which include various seating areas, a greenhouse and a formal garden with lawn, trees and borders. Beyond this is a further garden area which has been purposely encouraged to grow wild with grass paths.
We fully recommend an internal viewing to appreciate all that the property has to offer.
