Charming and Handsome period property in over 2 acres of its own grounds, located right at the edge of Norland Moor with stunning panoramic views from every aspect.
Originally built by the Round Table in 1937 as the Halifax Children's Holiday Home where it was in continuous use until 1980. The property has since been converted into two unique and substantial dwellings.
Retaining many of the original features yet incorporating modern conveniences throughout. Large windows create bright and airy feel whilst also providing amazing views from every room.
Modern touches like the fitted kitchen, downstairs wc and utility and downstairs study (or 5th bedroom) ensure 21st century living is catered for. The log burning stove, exposed original floorboards and high ceiling echo back to the original use of the home and sit comfortably with the more recent upgrades.
Outside is equally impressive and on an even larger scale. Attractive automatic gates open to a large, sweeping front drive providing ample parking. The grounds stretch approximately 2 acres, with well maintained fields, mature trees and stone patio areas. The hot tub stands to the southwest elevation providing far reaching views and all day sunshine (Yorkshire weather permitting!)
Of course this space is extremely versatile and would provide excellent grazing land, a cottage garden perhaps, or simply an amazing playground for kids and adults alike. Wonderful.
Entrance Porch
Original stone porch with a secure front door provides a spot to kick off those boots after a moorland walk, further internal door to the inner hall;
Inner Hall
A beautiful, original timber door opens to the spacious inner hall. Large under stairs storage, tiled floors, stairs to the first floor and doors to all ground floor rooms.
Lounge
5.57m x 4.94m - 18'3” x 16'2”
Dual aspect, bright and spacious sitting room, original maple floor, multi fuel stove on a stone hearth. External door to the garden. Internal, glazed double doors open the space up to the dining kitchen;
Kitchen / Dining Room
7.91m x 3.39m - 25'11” x 11'1”
The real heart of the property fitted with modern convenience sympathetic to the character. Again bright and airy, this time the dual aspect takes in the stunning southerly and westerly elevations. Ample space for a large family dining suite next to the self-regulating pellet fed boiler (with additional hot plate). This dining area is linked up to the kitchen with more of those lovely, slim maple floorboards. The kitchen has a range of base and wall units in a Shaker style with quality quartz worktops. Modern appliances include: Two ovens, 5 burner induction hob with canopy above to the peninsular, sink with instant hot water tap, integrated fridge. Two doors give access to the inner hall and another to the utility;
Utility
Large utility essential for a modern house, fully plumbed for the washing machine with space for the dryer and further appliances if required, external door to the outside is ideal for getting the washing out. Door to wc;
WC
Another touch geared up for family life! Low flush wc, wash basin.
Study
3.35m x 2.24m - 10'12” x 7'4”
An extra downstairs room, makes and ideal home office, side facing window overlooking the entrance gates and mature gardens.
Landing
Window overlooking the moor, access to all first floor rooms, useful storage cupboard with original, paneled doors. The property also benefits from significant attic space, which is currently partly boarded and has Velux skylights and utilities already plumbed in providing the potential to create a second floor bedroom suite.
Bedroom 1
4.3m x 3.55m - 14'1” x 11'8”
Hard to choose which bedroom represents the master as they are all generous doubles. I guess it depends which fantastic view you wish to wake up to. This one enjoys the morning sun and overlooks the rugged moorland.
Bedroom 2
4.32m x 3.26m - 14'2” x 10'8”
West facing this time and enjoying views with the furthest reach, right across the valley and beyond.
Bedroom 3
4.18m x 3.41m - 13'9” x 11'2”
South facing this time, another generous double.
Bedroom 4
3.39m x 3.34m - 11'1” x 10'11”
Another South facing double, handy fitted wardrobes in this one.
House Bathroom
A lovely bathroom with a tranquil feel. A raised tiled area provides a space for the modern free standing bath with metro tiling and a south facing window behind, large shower enclosure, low flush wc and pedestal wash basin.
Outside
Quality, electric gates provide security and privacy. These open to a sweeping driveway with ample parking for a number of vehicles. A raised stoned patio and tiered gravel area provide space to relax directly from the house. Beyond these the land stretches out in a southerly and westerly direction, with large grass fields and mature trees and shrubs. Ideal for grazing or perhaps a kitchen garden, or a full scale game of cricket...and of course a good excuse to purchase a ride on lawnmower! Stunning.
