Roxmoor, Skircoat Moor Road, HX3

Where Family Life Flourishes

Overlooking the sweeping green expanse of Savile Park, Roxmoor is a handsome stone built family home built during the Edwardian era designed in the distinctive Arts & Crafts style. Originally commissioned as one of a pair of semi-detached homes for two brothers, the residence retains an abundance of period character while offering the space and flexibility required for modern family life.

For the current owners, Roxmoor offered everything they were searching for. The generous accommodation, beautiful setting and remarkable gardens made an immediate impression. Over the past 11 years they have carefully maintained and enhanced both the home and grounds, creating a residence that feels deeply connected to family life and the changing seasons.

Set behind electric gates and approached via a private driveway, Roxmoor makes an immediate impression. A deep set stone archway frames the original double timber entrance doors, offering a fitting introduction to this characterful family home. Inside, the welcoming reception hall showcases the individuality found throughout, where Amtico oak-effect flooring with bespoke detailing, and traditional timber panelling create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Grace And Character

The reception rooms reflect the craftsmanship and proportions associated with the Arts & Crafts movement. Filled with natural light and enjoying views across the gardens, the sitting room is a space suited to entertaining and quiet relaxation. Decorative coving, intricate ceiling details and a gas coal effect fireplace contribute to its refined character while French doors provide a seamless connection to the terrace beyond.

Alongside, the drawing room offers a more intimate setting. A striking majolica brown enameled multi-fuel Jøtul stove sits beneath a beautifully crafted oak inglenook timber fireplace, creating a welcoming focal point. Exposed beams, impressive ceiling heights and historic coats of arms incorporated into the walls provide a fascinating connection to the home's early years. The large bay window frames garden views while a fitted window seat offers the perfect place to pause and unwind.

The Heart Of Everyday Living

The true centre of Roxmoor is its exceptional open plan kitchen, dining and living space, thoughtfully designed to bring family and friends together.

Handcrafted by local specialists Ryburn Valley Furniture, the bespoke cabinetry conceals a wealth of practical storage including a hidden pantry, utility access and a cleverly integrated pull out desk, creating an ideal work from home space that can be neatly tucked away at the end of the day. Complemented by a comprehensive range of appliances that include a Bosch microwave and dishwasher, integrated fridge, two separate freezers, instant hot water tap and De Dietrich double oven, induction hob and extractor.

The central island naturally draws people together throughout the day while the dining area comfortably accommodates both everyday meals and larger celebrations. Extending beyond the original footprint of the home, the light filled living area benefits from roof lights, dual aspect glazing and bi-folding doors that open onto the south west facing gardens. A contemporary Jøtul freestanding cast iron gas fire adds warmth and atmosphere while the abundance of natural light creates an uplifting environment throughout the year.

“This room is where everyone naturally gathers. Whether we're cooking, catching up over coffee or hosting family celebrations, it always feels connected and full of life.”

A Sanctuary Above

The principal bedroom offers a peaceful retreat from the demands of daily life. Generous proportions are complemented by a beautiful bay window that captures leafy views and ever changing seasonal colours. Bespoke fitted wardrobes and a matching dressing table, crafted by Ryburn Valley Furniture, provide elegant practicality while the room itself enjoys a calm and restful atmosphere.

“The outlook from the bay window never loses its appeal. Every season brings a different view and it always feels peaceful.”

Space To Grow

Three further double bedrooms provide versatile accommodation for family members, guests or home working. One enjoys attractive views across Savile Park and neighbouring open fields, offering flexibility as a generous guest bedroom, child's room or study, while the others overlook the rear gardens.

A spacious landing enhances the sense of light and space while providing access to a substantial boarded loft, currently used for storage.

The family bathroom has been thoughtfully appointed with a four piece suite including a separate bath and walk-in shower. Underfloor heating, elegant tiling and integrated storage create a luxurious finish. A second bathroom with shower and WC facilities provides additional convenience for family life.

A Garden To Treasure

The gardens remain the feature the owners cherish most and the reason they chose Roxmoor more than a decade ago.

South west facing and thoughtfully arranged across a series of distinct garden spaces, the grounds offer colour, texture and interest throughout the seasons. A structured cottage garden-style of planting sits alongside areas dedicated to homegrown produce and fruit trees, reflecting years of careful cultivation and enjoyment. Mature trees add structure and greenery while established borders provide an ever changing display of flowers.

At the heart of the garden, a decorative pond and ornate fountain create a charming focal point. Wide lawns provide space for play and relaxation while a substantial stone terrace extends directly from the home, creating an ideal setting for entertaining, outdoor dining and summer gatherings. A discreet area also provides space for a hot tub, allowing owners to enjoy a more secluded corner of the garden.

A further raised patio captures the evening sun and has become a favourite setting for barbecues and relaxed evenings with friends. The summer house and garden shed reflect the owners' passion for outdoor living and previously supported their beekeeping hobby and the production of home grown honey.

“The garden is what first captured our hearts and it still does today. We love seeing the flowers emerge through the seasons and there's always something new to enjoy.”

A Setting To Enjoy

Electric gates open onto a private courtyard with a double car port, EV charging point and parking for four vehicles. Direct access into the kitchen from the driveway adds practical convenience to everyday life.

Beyond the gates, Roxmoor enjoys the rare advantage of feeling established and connected to nature while remaining close to excellent amenities. Open parkland, field views and a selection of highly regarded local and independent schools all contribute to the appeal of this sought after Savile Park address.

Rich in character, thoughtfully updated and surrounded by beautiful gardens, Roxmoor is a home designed for gathering, growing and creating lasting memories.
