House For Sale £190,000
Sowerby Bridge is full of surprises, and this is one of them; a small terrace of spacious Victorian homes in a gorgeous setting. With barely any passing traffic, surrounded by woodland and overlooking allotments it feels very tucked away, yet in reality it's just a stone's throw to Trinity Academy Grammar School and all the facilities Sowerby Bridge has to offer. Those include great pubs, restaurants and a choice of large supermarkets, a modern sports centre and the railway station, with regular connections to both Leeds and Manchester. If you commute by car, Halifax and the M62 are easily accessed too.
The house itself has been a much-loved family home for many years and is now a little dated. But it's big, offering over 1300 square feet of living space, with the potential for more. There's some really nice period features, and a new kitchen, some replastering and redecoration would work wonders. Set over four floors there's four double bedrooms and the bathroom on the upper floors, plus a good-sized living room and kitchen-dining room on the ground floor. On the lower ground floor the cellar offers a huge opportunity. Having been used as a large workshop / utility room for many years there's potential to re-open an unused room to double the available space. Perhaps you'd like a games room, gym, your own home cinema or spacious playroom?
Starting our tour at the front door, there's a small lobby area before entering the living room. Here there's an art deco-style gas fire, plus attractive coving to the ceiling and a picture rail, all adding character to the room. To the rear a door opens into a small inner hallway and then into the large kitchen-dining room. You'll want to replace the kitchen, but there's plenty of space for a range of units plus a good-sized dining table too, making for a really good layout well-suited to family life or entertaining friends for dinner.
A door leads down into the large cellar, which is dry and has been used for many years as a workshop and laundry room (power, water and drainage are all laid-on). The rest of the cellar space, running all the way under the living room, has been shut off, but there's potential to re-open this space and bring it back into use, creating a huge amount of extra reception space.
Back upstairs, stairs lead up from the inner hallway to the first floor, where there are two double bedrooms and the bathroom. The main bedroom is huge, with great views near and far from the window and plenty of room to add a shower room if you wish. The second bedroom is smaller, but also a double, again with lovely views, this time over woodland to the rear. Next door is the bathroom, which is modern and perfectly usable.
Up the stairs again and we come to the 2nd floor, with another two double bedrooms. To the front the larger room has a big dormer window, ensuring maximum headroom and again with potential for an ensuite. The rear bedroom is a smaller double set into the eaves, light and bright thanks to the large roof window.
Finally the outdoor space. The front of the house faces south and has great views and there's a good sized space here ideal for a table and chairs plus a few pots. To the back of the house a door opens from the kitchen-dining room onto a smaller yard, perfect for outdoor storage and hanging the washing. There's access for cars to the rear of the terrace, and just across the access track is a slightly elevated garden area with a wooded backdrop, making a very pleasant spot to relax.
To summarise, while the house requires some work to bring it back to it's best, there's great potential here to put your stamp on it and create a really large family home. The location is both very convenient and in many ways idyllic - quiet and with gorgeous surroundings. Opportunities like this don't come up often, so give us a ring, 24/7 for further information and to book your place to view at our open day, Sunday 4th December.
Some further practicalities: The house is fully double-glazed with gas central heating throughout. Parking is on the street outside the house.
