House For Sale £150,000
Triangle is a small village in the scenic Ryburn valley, with excellent public transport links to both Sowerby Bridge and Ripponden, which are each less than 5 minutes drive away. Ripponden offers a great choice of pubs, options for eating out, a good supermarket plus local schooling. Meanwhile Sowerby Bridge is larger, with a greater range of facilities including an excellent sports centre and a railway station offering fast and frequent services to both Leeds and Manchester.
Triangle itself has an excellent day nursery rated Outstanding by OFSTED, plus a primary school too. There's a small play park and a myriad of easy opportunities to escape into the wonderful surrounding countryside.
Stile Terrace is set well away from the main road in a quiet spot backing directly onto open countryside. Parking is available on-street nearby and the properties are accessed via a path along the front of the houses. Please note however that, being on the end, there's no access through the garden of number 51, making it very private.
The good-sized garden is to the front of the property and enjoys excellent sunshine throughout the day. There's a useful shed for storage and the mature hedges further enhance the tucked-away feel.
Moving inside, the house is in need of renovation, which has been reflected in the asking price. There's double glazing and gas central heating throughout, but work is immediately required to address a damp issue (quotes for this work are available by request). However, once done there's no denying the potential for this spacious, light-filled home.
The front door opens into a small lobby ideal for coats and shoes, which in turn opens into the great-sized living room. Like all the rooms in the house it has very high ceilings and large windows ensuring an excellent amount of light. A smaller second window to the side makes this room dual-aspect and gives direct sunshine into the evening. The gas fireplace is a lovely centre point, or you may wish to explore the opportunity of opening things up and installing a woodburning stove for that cosy cottage feel.
A door to the rear of the room brings us into the kitchen, another good-sized space where there's room for plenty of workspace and storage. At present the kitchen is laid out as an L shape with an electric oven, gas hob and extractor fitted, plus space for a washing machine and fridge-freezer too. The window to the rear has gorgeous views out over open fields.
A door from the kitchen opens onto steps down to the cellar, which is damp at present but would be a useful and usable space if tanked.
Moving upstairs to the first floor, there are two bedrooms (one large double, one large single) plus the bathroom. The master bedroom and bathroom both have solid wood floors which add a nice touch of character, and both bedrooms have views. The double looks out over the front garden and has far-reaching countryside views beyond that, while bedroom two enjoys the same lovely outlook as the kitchen. The bathroom is fitted with a white suite and there's an electric shower over the bath and a chrome towel radiator to keep things toasty.
A set of open stairs from the landing lead us up into the attic room, which again has wood floors and excellent character thanks to the sloping ceilings and exposed purlins. Storage has been built into both the eaves and it's another very light room thanks to the roof window and a window to the gable end. This room would make an excellent study, hobby space or occasional guest bedroom.
To summarise this property has brilliant potential to become a wonderful home. The position, room sizes, garden and views are all excellent. Will you be the one to grasp the opportunity to bring it back to its best? Call now, 24/7, for further information and to book your place to view at our open day, Sunday 10th September. We're waiting to show you around!
