Elder Grove, Manchester Road, Milnsbridge, HD4

Historically the village Coach House, this property is packed full of stunning features and offers large versatile living spaces, alongside a superb double garage which used to be the stables. There is so much potential to restore the property back to its former glory as one grand home or to separate the spaces to create a formal house with annex/workspace. Briefly comprising: - entrance hall, two fantastic reception rooms with bay windows, a breakfast kitchen, utility/shower room, cellar, boot room/side porch, three first floor double bedrooms, bathroom, fourth attic room plus store room, a further store room which is off the kitchen and a huge first floor reception/cinema room over the garage. The double garage sits behind a cobbled driveway which provides off road parking and seating area, and there is a further raised garden. Milnsbridge sits close to Huddersfield town centre which has a train station providing access to neighbouring towns and cities. There are local shops and eateries within a short distance of the property.

The property used to be the resting place for travellers and their horses with the garages being the stables and a tack room above alongside the main house which was the guest house and bedrooms. Over the years the property has had several different uses but has most recently been a much loved home for the past 45 years. Now it is ready for a new chapter in its story, and for someone to renovate it to create a truly unique residence.

THIS IMPRESSIVE FOUR BEDROOM CHARACTER PROPERTY HAS A LARGE DOUBLE GARAGE, COURTYARD PARKING AND RAISED GARDEN. FREEHOLD / COUNCIL TAX BAND B / ENERGY RATING E.

ENTRANCE VESTIBULE

You enter the property through a timber door with glazed window above into an entrance vestibule where there is an attractive ceiling rose and doors, which lead to the lounge and dining room.

LOUNGE

This room is packed full of charm and character with stunning ornate coving, ceiling rose, tiled and timber fireplace which houses a gas fire and deep skirting boards. Alcoves sit either side of the chimney breast ideal for housing freestanding furniture items and a large front facing bay with tall glazed windows and stained glass detailing allows natural light to pour in. Doors lead to the entrance vestibule and breakfast kitchen.

DINING ROOM

A second reception room this space has previously been used as a formal dining room and lends itself perfectly to this with plenty of room to accommodate a dining table and chairs. There is similar decorative coving, ceiling rose and skirting boards to those in the lounge and a gas fire with tiled hearth sits upon the chimney breast. Alcoves either side and the lovely big bay window complete the room. Doors lead to the entrance vestibule and breakfast kitchen.

BREAKFAST KITCHEN

Fitted with wooden wall and base units, a glazed display cabinet, laminate work surfaces and a stainless steel one and a half bowl sink and drainer with mixer tap this good sized kitchen has a breakfast bar perfect for informal dining. The kitchen has a double electric oven, four ring gas hob, extractor fan and an integrated fridge freezer. The room is fully tiled in decorative wall tiles and has a side facing window overlooking the cobbled courtyard. Doors lead to the boot room, rear store, two reception rooms, stairs and utility room. Please note the socket designed for the fridge freezer is not in working order and must be inspected along with the rest of the electrics and the gas fire ignition is not working so this would need to be replaced or repaired.

UTILITY ROOM

Located off the kitchen is this handy utility / shower room. There is a shower cubicle to one corner, a ceramic sink and drainer, space for a W.C and/or other household appliances. There are built in cupboards, the property s stop cock is located in one of the higher cupboards, and the central heating boiler is neatly tucked away in the room. There are wall and floor tiles and doors lead to the cellar and breakfast kitchen.Note: The Saniflow would need replacing to make the W.C functional.

CELLAR

This original keeping cellar houses the property s main fuse board and meters. There is also a safe down here and the keys are available to be left with the property,

BOOT ROOM / SIDE PORCH

Positioned to the side of the property is this entrance porch or boot room. Conveniently located so that you can enter the property this way from the drive. This space is ideal for removing and storing outdoor coats and shoes. There is glazing to two sides, wall lighting, vinyl flooring and doors which lead to the courtyard and breakfast kitchen.

FIRST FLOOR LANDING

Stairs rise from the breakfast kitchen to the first floor landing where there is a side facing window and doors which lead to the three bedrooms, attic room and bathroom.

BEDROOM ONE

This superb king size bedroom has an abundance of natural light courtesy of the two front facing windows which also provide roof top views. The room boasts a bank of fitted wardrobes alongside plenty of space for freestanding bedroom items. A door leads to the landing.

BEDROOM TWO

Another generous double bedroom this has an attractive feature fireplace which creates a lovely focal point to the room. There is a side facing window looking out over the courtyard and garden beyond, original timber floorboards and a door which leads to the landing. Note: The work to the roof has been carried out and the room re plastered so we believe it is only decorative work needed.

BEDROOM THREE

Located to the front of the property with rooftop views from its window is this third well proportioned bedroom. There is space for a range of bedroom furniture and a corner cupboard discreetly houses the property hot water cylinder. A door leads to the landing.

BATHROOM

Comprising of a bath, pedestal hand wash basin and low level W.C this bathroom is fully tiled has tiled effect flooring and a door which leads to the landing. The room is unusual in shape and the measurements are maximum measurements only.

ATTIC ROOM

Stairs ascend from the first floor landing to this attic room which has a side facing window and angled ceilings (measurements are skirting board to skirting board). This would make an ideal occasional bedroom, office space or play room. An over the stairs cupboard encloses the water tank and a door leads to a useful storage room.

ATTIC STORE ROOM

This handy additional space provides good storage and also has doors giving access into the eaves. There is a side facing window looking over the garden and the door leads back to the attic room.

GROUND FLOOR STORE

Sitting between the breakfast kitchen and garage is this spacious store room which provides easily accessible storage. This area is the space shaded blue on the title plan and is the only area not described as freehold on the title as this sits below the property 2 Deep Lane. The room opens to the stair bottom and hallway leading to the garage. A door opens to the breakfast kitchen.Note: There is limited head room in this area.

RECEPTION ROOM / CINEMA ROOM

Stairs rise to this incredible room which was previously used as a cinema. There is so much potential for this space. It could be converted into additional bedrooms, living spaces or a self contained annex subject to the relevant planning permissions and consents. There is currently an area sectioned off with a partition wall which used to house the projectors but this could easily be removed. Two side facing windows look out over the garden and an external door leads out to the access path to Deep Lane over the neighbouring yard. This space along with the garage is on a separate fuse board and gas boiler.Originally this area was the tack room for the below stables of the coach house.

DOUBLE GARAGE

This large double garage with two timber doors is the dream for any motor enthusiasts but could also be developed into so many different things including a workshop/ home business/ additional living space for the main house or potentially to form part of a separate dwelling which would include the upstairs cinema room (subject to the necessary planning permissions building regulations).

W.C

To one corner of the garage is a separate toilet and hand wash basin.

DRIVEWAY

Behind wrought iron gates is a beautiful cobbled stone driveway which offers off road parking for multiple vehicles. There is also a container here which provides storage but it sits on the footprint of what we believe to be an old garage building so there is the potential to rebuild this (subject to the necessary checks and permissions) to allow the other garages to be repurposed. There is also space on this level for a seating area if required. A path leads to the front door and steps lead up to the garden.

GARDEN

This deceptively generous raised garden has two tiers and is triangular in shape extending right down to the road side. The space is currently in need of some landscaping but has previously been a lawn with well established planted flower beds and with a little love and care could be creatively landscaped to make useable seating areas, lawn and borders once again.
