House For Sale £295,000
Hollins Lane, Sowerby Bridge HX6 2RS

Myrtle Villas is positioned on Hollins Lane, a quiet backwater located off Tuel Lane. Ideally placed for everything Sowerby Bridge has to offer, it's just a short stroll to the town centre where you'll find a wide range of cafes, shops, bars and restaurants, plus an excellent sports centre. The railway station is a mere 15 minutes walk away, offering fast and frequent services to Leeds and Manchester, and it's an easy drive to Halifax and the M62 too.


Set in an elevated position up a short set of steps this is a fabulous home to return to. Open the front door and step inside the porch, complete with original tiled floor. A second door opens into a spacious hallway, with warming wood floorboards underfoot and impressive plasterwork - the ceiling coving, corbels and Victorian archway remain intact, creating a grand yet very welcoming feel. With plenty of space for coats and shoes it's also immensely practical - so kick off your shoes and let's carry on exploring this great home. The impressive staircase leads from the hallway to first floor, with a curving mahogany handrail set on white-painted spindles making a lovely period feature.

Just to your right is the very welcoming living room, which is separated from the kitchen-diner by double doors. This is a wonderful family space, again packed with original features. The original wood flooring and coving continues here, while the whole room is drenched in light from an enormous window to the front. Additionally there's a ceiling rose, picture rail and deep skirtings. There's plenty of space in the living room for two large sofas and it's easy to imagine relaxing here with the family in front of the multifuel stove while keeping an eye on what's happening in the adjoining kitchen.

From the living room doors open into the dining-kitchen, which is a great size and furnished in a farmhouse shaker style. There's lots of storage and workspace ideal for a busy household, a dual fuel range-style cooker and space for a dishwasher and undercounter fridge. The dining table here is ideal for socialising with family and friends and is sure to become the heart of the home. To the rear a door leads back onto the hallway, with the large cellars close-by where you'll find the freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer as well as extensive storage.

Heading up to the first floor and our first stop is the half-landing where there's a gorgeous coloured glass arched window, another wonderful period feature. The first floor has two double bedrooms and the family bathroom. Both bedrooms are very large and light, with high ceilings and the original stripped floorboards. The main bedroom is to the front of the house and overlooks the garden, with lovely far-reaching views towards Norland, a feature fireplace and two recently built-in wardrobes. Bedroom two is neutrally decorated with a stripped wood built in cupboard alongside the chimney breast. Finally, the bathroom has been recently refitted in a Victorian style, and decorated smartly in navy and white. There's a generous walk-in electric shower, a large, deep bath perfect for getting away for a relaxing soak, a WC and basin with storage cupboard underneath.

Up the stairs to the second floor, where you'll find two smaller double bedrooms and a large cupboard in the eaves, perfect for storage. The exposed wood purlins add character and plentiful light is provided by the large roof windows.

Outside, the front of the house is set back and elevated above the road, making the garden a peaceful retreat and, being south-west facing, a real suntrap. Set over two levels and beautifully planted it's a relaxing place to spend time pottering or relaxing with a book on the terrace. With water and power laid on, it's also the perfect spot for firing up the barbeque and dining al-fresco!

Don't miss your chance to own this large impressive home, set in such a peaceful yet convenient location. Contact us now to find out more - our team are available 24/7 to book your appointment to view on our Open Day, Sunday 11th June. We're waiting to show you around!
