- Large block-paved driveway and double garage (19'6" x 15'7")
- Period stone construction with exposed beams and original features

This substantial four-bedroom detached stone home, built in 1850, combines original character with practical family living. Rooms are generous in proportion — large lounge with log burner, separate dining room, kitchen with Aga, utility and ground-floor WC — plus a versatile ground-floor bedroom ideal for guests or home working. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite; two further first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the sleeping accommodation.
The property occupies an elevated plot with far-reaching panoramic views across the valley toward Holywell Green. Outside there is a block-paved driveway leading to a sizeable double garage and a raised decking area at the rear for outdoor sitting and appreciating the outlook. The site is on a peaceful cul-de-sac close to local schools, West Vale amenities and around ten minutes' drive from M62 junction 24.
Notable positives include strong mobile and broadband coverage, very low local crime and easy access to highly ranked primary schools. However, buyers should note this is a period stone property with assumed solid sandstone/limestone walls and no built-in insulation; double glazing was installed before 2002. The EPC rating is F and council tax sits above average, indicating likely near-term energy and running-cost improvement needs.
Overall the house presents good scope for a family seeking a character home with excellent outlooks and substantial garage/parking. It appears presented in reasonable order but will suit purchasers prepared to carry out moderate energy upgrades and cosmetic modernisation rather than a full refurbishment.
