Southgate, Honley, Holmfirth, HD9

A property that must be viewed to be appreciated.

Every once in a while a house comes to the market that local people won't recognise, because it is tucked away in a discreet setting.  This lovely barn conversion on Southgate in Honley is one such property.

It offers well planned and well presented accommodation with character and a genuine feeling of being a lovely home, and place to live.

Enjoying a charming position and a lovely big garden, the property is set off Southgate behind double gates and enjoys a cobbled driveway and car port.

Enter the property into a spacious dining hall with a turned staircase rising to the galleried landing above.  There is a beautiful lounge with an open fire, and access through into the conservatory that looks over the garden to trees beyond.

An attractive, well fitted modern breakfast kitchen which has built in appliances, which in turn this leads through to a useful utility room and spacious home office.   Also to the ground floor is a cloakroom/wc located off the dining hall.

On the first floor the open landing leads to a good sized family bathroom which has a rolltop bath and separate shower.  There are four bedrooms, with the master bedroom having a vanity wash basin.  The second bedroom is spacious with remote control velux windows and a small barn window too.  Bedrooms 3 & 4 are suited to younger children.

The garden is a delight.  Wander down the steps from the front of the house to a level lawned area with established flower, tree and shrub beds. 

There's even a useful small garden store beneath the conservatory.

The convenience of the setting cannot be underestimated.  Within a couple of minutes walk from the house one finds oneself in Honley village centre.  There are a wide variety of shops, amenities, bars, restaurants and other services such as doctors, dentist, pharmacy and library.

There are places of worship, schooling for children of all ages, community centres, sports and social clubs, a local cricket ground and lovely scenic walks around the village.  There really is something for everyone.

Locally there is a railway station connecting to Huddersfield and Sheffield, and excellent road links for business travellers.  Manchester, Sheffield and Leeds are all around 24 miles away, making this a suitable base for commuters.

The essentials:  The property is Freehold.  The house is not adapted for wheelchair access.  Mains services are available.  Council Tax Band is B.
