About Glyn Garth
We understand that the property was constructed in the mid-1930s and is only offered on the open market for the second time since then. It has been home to our client since 1978 and has been a much loved family home. The property is of traditional stone built construction beneath a blue slate roof and was extended to the side and rear shortly after our clients purchased it.

Stoney Bank Road is one of the most sought after addresses within the Holmfirth area and features a number of other high quality homes built around the same time. Holmfirth High School is a short walk away and a wealth of other local amenities can be found in the centre of Holmfirth, which is just over a mile away. The property sits on a good sized plot (approximately 0.2 acre) which backs onto the bottom of “Little Wembley” playing fields.

It is entered on the ground floor through double doors which feature Art Deco influenced leaded glazed windows in the Sunburst style. The hall features spindle stairs to the first floor and wooden parquet flooring. To one side of the hall, you will find the main lounge with its bay window to the front and an additional sitting area at the rear, which forms part of one of the extensions. There is a dining / living room to the other side of the hall.

The dining kitchen also benefits from the extension across the rear of the building which incorporates the utility room behind the garage. Also within the rear extension is the study which features a glazed door out to the rear garden. In addition, there is a downstairs cloakroom / WC and stairs lead down to the small cellar.

Upstairs, there is a landing area featuring a wonderful arched window again with a leaded glazed sunburst motif. The principal bedroom has dual aspect windows to the front and rear and an en-suite shower room. Bedroom 2 is another large double bedroom, whilst bedrooms 3 & 4 are also good sized rooms and located in the extension over the garage. They are served by a large shower room which has recently been renovated to a good modern standard.

The property has a gas central heating system and many original leaded glazed metal framed windows. We do expect that the next owner will look to carry out their own scheme of modernisation works and redesigning of the layout to meet with their own needs.

Externally, the property sits within a generous plot of approximately 0.19 acre with a garden and driveway to the front leading to the integral garage. At the rear of the house, there is a further good sized enclosed garden with lawns and mature borders. The garden backs onto the rear of Little Wembley playing fields.

Our client has secured an onward purchase, and the property is for sale with no vendor chain.
