A rare opportunity to purchase a delightful cottage in the sort after area of Scholes, close to Holmfirth and its wide array of amenities, shops, bars, restaurants and schools. This property boasts plenty of original features with exposed beams, stone and an attractive fire place, plus it also benefits from outdoor space to the front and rear and allocated parking. With 2 double bedrooms to the first floor and a further attic room currently used as a bedroom the property has been lovingly restored and tastefully decorated throughout.
The property is positioned on a lane just off Chapelgate amongst a small number of similar properties in a popular village location with a local shop, school and public house within a short walk whilst also having the benefit of rural walks and countryside on it's door step.
Approaching the property from the front elevation there is a pretty private walled garden with a path leading to the front door. Once inside, the property has an entrance lobby with stairs to the first floor and a door leading to the charming lounge which the current owners have beautifully restored exposing the Yorkshire Stone flag stone floor, original stone work to the front elevation and added an attractive window seat plus used natural wood and stone to bring the fireplace back to life, with an attractive hearth, fire surround and gas stove. This welcoming living space also has wooden beams and stripped back wood work giving it a warm and cosy feel.
From the lounge there is the dining kitchen where a mixture of old and new fixtures and fittings continuing the cottage feel whilst providing a space for modern family life. With ample off white wall and base units, a wooden effect laminate work top and modern tiled splash backs the kitchen has a light and airy feel and has had a new tiled floor added recently. With room for a dining table and a door to access to the rear outdoor patio it makes a great space for entertaining and relaxing. A door leads from the kitchen to the cellar which provides great additional storage and a utility area with a Saniflow water pump and power for a washing machine and drier.
To the first floor are the two double bedrooms, the first being to the front of the property and having original stripped and varnished floor and the second to the rear, both freshly decorated in neutral tones. There is also a modern family bathroom, with 3 piece white suite with a shower over the bath and this is partially tiled with laminate flooring and a glass shower screen. Off the 1st floor landing there is additional storage built under the staircase to the attic which has been converted into a good sized 3rd double bedroom with velux window, far reaching views and more storage. We believe that the conversion has not had building regulation approval, but understand that some additional work can be done and approval sort.
Externally the property benefits from gardens where the sunshine can be enjoyed from early morning to the front, right through to the evening sunsets from the rear seating area. From the lane a gate opens into a private walled garden which provides a great place to relax and entertain with two patios, newly laid stone paving and a lawned area. The area to the rear has artificial grass with space for seating and is accessed from the kitchen diner.
This property is located on an un adopted road just off Chapelgate which only provides access to this and the neighbouring properties and also this property has one parking space with additional on street parking on Chapelgate. To the rear of the property there is access along the terrace, however, currently none of the homeowners use this access but each property has a gate between. A purchaser should seek legal advice on the access rights to the property to the front and the rear.
