House For Sale £240,000
Views, glorious views! Perched on the edge of open countryside on the cliff above Holmfirth, this 4 storey weaver's cottage is all about the views. With some cosmetic updating, Cliff View Cottage could be a truly special home for someone wanting a countryside location close to local amenities.
One of a small cluster of old weavers' cottages, Cliff View Cottage enjoys stunning far reaching views which become more spectacular the higher you climb. The large lounge on the top floor has open beams to the eaves with windows to the South and West. As well as being light and airy, this room also offers long distant panoramic views across Holme Valley towards Holme Moss, the Pennines and towards Longley Farm and beyond to Derbyshire. From here, you can either just admire the scenery or perhaps enjoy watching the weather change across the valley. Even at night the views are spectacular and, on a clear night, you can be amazed at the wonders of the night sky.
Previously used as a holiday let, this gable end cottage has character in abundance throughout from wooden beams to stone mullion windows. Originally the Gaffers house, it offers spacious accommodation over 4 floors plus a cellar accessed from the kitchen.
The heart of this home is the large living kitchen / diner/ family room on the ground floor. The multi-fuel stove sits within a very impressive floor to ceiling stone fireplace. It even has a hot plate which can be used for preparing meals. Perfect for recreating cooking on the campfire yet in the cosy comfort of your own home! There is ample space for a dining table, sofa and chairs and for entertaining family or friends.
To the side there's a small south facing sun lounge with sliding patio doors onto a footpath. Perfect for quiet moments when you just want to sit, chill and enjoy the views towards Holme Moss. With potential for a multiple of uses, in the past it has served as an office / study / playroom.
On entering the property, there is a small entrance hall with a large storage cupboard and quirky downstairs wc, with space for a washing machine / dryer. The front door leads out to a small walled yard with stone coal bunker.
On the first floor there are two double bedrooms, both with superb scenic views across the valley. Additionally there is a large walk in storage area, extending under the stairs, where the boiler is housed.
The main bedroom is located on the second floor and can easily accommodate a king size bed plus wardrobes and dressers. The broad window sill offers the perfect leaning place to just stand and drink in the breath-taking views, spectacular both day and night. This floor also accommodates a good sized bathroom. The landing area offers loads of space, currently used as an office area with views, but would also lend itself as a snug.
And finally to the top floor where you'll find the large and airy lounge. With vaulted ceilings and windows to 2 sides, it feels incredibly spacious. There's a gas stove for chillier evenings and there's even a cosmic sky on the vaulted ceiling so, when it's dark, you can switch off the lights and see constellations as if you're under the sky itself.
The stairs from the kitchen to the first floor have wooden panelling and a simple wooden banister. On the second and third floors they have plain wood banisters and to the top floor they have a polished wood handrail with decorative wooden spindles.
The house would benefit from cosmetic updating throughout and would indeed lend itself to being totally reconfigured if desired. Both the bathroom and kitchen would benefit from upgrading with the size of both rooms suiting numerous styles
Outside - There is a small yard at the front with a stone wall and coal bunker. Adjacent to the house, there's a now unused public footpath which can be accessed from the sun lounge. So there is space for a bench which would allow you to sit out and enjoy the views. Parking is on the road, either directly opposite or slightly further up the road.
The house is located at the top end of Cliff Road in Holmfirth at its junction with New Laithe Lane. As well as the views over the Valley and towards Derbyshire, the access path to Cliff Rec is just outside so perfect for walking with or without the dog. Following Cliff Road, past the cottage, takes you towards Wooldale or Scholes. There is a mini bus service which stops at the house when flagged and takes you into Holmfirth and around the valley.
EweMove Holme Valley has a stringent covid-19 policy designed to ensure the safety of our vendors, viewers and ourselves. As such, all first viewings will be carried out via an on-line video call where possible.
