Description
About High Royd Cottage
High Royd Cottage sits in a pleasant, elevated location above Honley, within a cluster of high calibre dwellings. It is of traditional stone-built construction beneath a pitched stone slate roof and we understand that it was originally part of a row of cottages and farm buildings allied to the Highroyd Estate across the road, now combined into a single dwelling.
It sits within a wonderful 0.54 acre plot with a gated access driveway, mature gardens and a generous driveway parking area with detached double garage. The neighbouring property has access over the first section of the driveway, after which it becomes private to the cottage. The gardens feature well established planting ensuring a wealth of colour all round.
The main entrance door is to be found round the front of the building and gives access to the particularly spacious reception hall. This gives access to the downstairs WC and features the lounge and dining room on either side. The lounge is of excellent proportions and features windows to the 3 elevations. The dining room is also of a good size and is open to the rear hallway where elegant stairs lead to the first-floor landing. The dining kitchen sits adjacent to the dining room and is fitted with a good range of units and features windows to the front and side. A large utility room is positioned at the rear of kitchen and has a walk-in pantry cupboard plus a boiler room and cloak room.
On the first floor, there is a pleasant landing area with dual aspect windows and 3 / 4 panelled walls. The principal bedroom is a generous double room and features a walk-through dressing room and en-suite shower room. There are 3 further bedrooms all of which are double rooms with windows facing the front and enjoying the pleasant aspect. These bedrooms are served by the good sized house bathroom.
The property benefits from a gas central heating system and features painted wooden framed windows and doors in the Georgian style set within the dressed stone surrounds. It is connected to all mains services.
Externally, there is a driveway from Northgate which runs along the rear of the building with an automated entry gate. Note that the neighbouring barn conversion enjoys a right of access over the first section of the drive before it becomes private to the cottage. The driveway sweeps around to the side where there is parking for a number of vehicles and a detached double garage.
A pleasant lawned garden sits in front of the house with a stone paved path flanked by rose trees leading to the
front entrance door. On either side of the cottage there are stone paved seating areas, and a further grassed area extends beyond the driveway leading to a superb, elevated viewpoint overlooking the adjacent fields.
The property is conveniently located for access to Honley High School and the village Railway Station. There are wonderful walks, from the doorstep up towards Castle Hill and to the Stirley Nature Reserve. Further local amenities can be found in the village centre which is located approximately three quarters of a mile away. Holmfirth centre is also located within about 3 miles drive from the house.
