Magdale, Honley, Holmfirth, HD9

With Magdale Dam, Mag Brook and the River Holme on the doorstep, this interesting and spacious 2/3 bedroom cottage stands in a large plot with established gardens.

Arguably the area's prettiest location with beautiful local walks and scenery on hand around this Conservation Area.

The cottage, known as Fern Cottage is formerly two houses which have been merged and extended.

There are two spacious double bedrooms with fitted wardobes on the first floor, with the main bedroom having an en-suite bathroom/wc and an en-suite shower room.   There is also a family bathroom with a corner bath.

On the ground floor there is a side room off the dining room/sitting room that could be used as a bedroom or home office, and potentially merged with the ground floor/wc and utilty room in order to establish a ground floor bedroom suite.  A glance at our floorplan illustrates this.

The kitchen is well fitted with a range of cabinets and worktops, toegther with integrated appliances to include an oven, hob and cooker, fridge, freezer, and dishawasher.

There is a large dining room/sitting room with a side entrance vestibule leading to the garden.

The main reception room is particularly large and combines a sitting area and additional dining area, which is particularly useful when entertaining.  One might even consider dividing this room perhaps.

A rear entrance provides a staircase to the first floor and access to the utility room and ground floor w.c.

The house has a gas central heating system and double glazing.

Outside, there is quite a bit to take in. 

Natural stone pathways and paving meander around interesting well stocked areas.  Places to sit a while and relax, area's to really get stuck into if you enjoy gardening and a pond and a lawn to enjoy too.  At the end of the lawn there is a parking area for upto three cars.

The shared lane that traverses the front of the property provides access to Fern Cottage and vehicular access to the neighbouring cottage.  Please pay attention to the title images within this listing for boundaries.   The grassed area over the wall is owned by the local village Trust, and is not for sale.   Our client has cut the grass over the years with the permission of the Trust, and should a buyer wish to continue to do so they should seek their own permission from the Trust. Also, note the unregistered area by the bridge which offers access over the dam stream.

When it comes to a combination of convenience and scenery, Magdale offers both in equal measure.

Renowned for local wildlife, this small picturesque enclave within the Holme Valley is a go to place for those who enjoy the outdoors. Winding down to the River Holme from Mag Bridge, Mag Brook feeds the local mill pond where ducks and geese reside, along with other native birds and wildlife. Deer can be seen around the area, as well as badgers and foxes too.

Well placed for commuters, as Leeds, Manchester and Sheffield are all around 24 miles away, and there is convenient access to Holmfirth and Huddersfield.

There is a wide variety of amenities in Honley, with many independent shops and businesses, pubs, bars and restaurants. There are sports and social clubs, a local library and community centre. There are schools for children of all ages in the village, as well as a doctors, dentist and pharmacist. The local railway station connects Huddersfield to Sheffield.

In all, this is a most interesting and spacious property in a much sought after and beautiful conservation area within the Holme Valley.
