Stone-built charm meets flexible family living in this mid-terraced home on Huddersfield Road, Newhey. The ground floor offers a cosy lounge centred on a feature stone fireplace and a large kitchen-diner ideal for family meals and everyday life. Original period details and solid sandstone walls give character throughout.
The property currently offers two main bedrooms on the first floor, with additional sleeping space achieved via a cellar room and a loft room accessed by a pull-down staircase — together providing up to four bedrooms depending on use. Off-street parking to the front and access to communal rear gardens add practical outdoor space without onerous maintenance.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the home is leasehold with a very long term remaining (819 years) and a nominal ground rent, council tax is low (Band A), and broadband speeds are fast. The property dates from before 1900 and has double glazing and gas central heating via a boiler and radiators.
Buyers should note the house needs some modernisation: decor is dated in places, the EPC is rated D, and the cellar and loft rooms have restricted dimensions and headroom suitable for occasional use or conversion with works. The communal garden is shared rather than private. For families seeking character, flexible accommodation and a semi-rural feel near transport links and Ogden Reservoir, this offers strong potential.
