This attractive stone built Victorian residence occupies a generous plot and is tucked away at the bottom of a private road in the popular semi-rural location of Lower Wellhouse. Whilst the property is surrounded by mature trees and woodland, it also maintains an open aspect to the front giving the property a real sense of seclusion whilst actually being within easy access of all the necessary amenities, local schooling and transport links. The property also benefits from planning permission for a detached, semi-subterranean garage. Business travellers may appreciate the connections to Manchester and Leeds via the A62, M62 and the local railway stations that can be found in the neighbouring village of Slaithwaite. It really is a superb blend of rural living and the convenience of excellent connectivity. EPC D
Nestled away in one of Colne Valley's most sought after areas, Glen Cottage offers idyllic semi-rural living whilst also benefitting from excellent commuter links, access to the M62 motorway network, nearby village amenities and well regarded local schooling. The neighbouring village of Slaithwaite also benefits from rail links to both Leeds and Manchester with onward connections to London in approximately 2 hours.
GROUND FLOOR
Spacious entrance hallway, leading to the ground floor reception rooms, staircase to access the first floor and further staircase to the lower ground cellar space.
The lounge sits at the front of the property and is a bright space that benefits from sash windows and French Doors with views over the garden. The owners have installed an impressive reclaimed fireplace with a multi-fuel burning stove.
The spectacular open plan kitchen, dining room and living space is the star of the show. This space offers everything that a busy modern family could ever want, allowing room for all the family to be together whilst carrying out their own individual activities such as homework, cooking or playing in the garden.
The kitchen is fitted with generous selection of wall and base units finished in light grey with contrasting oak larder units and oak worktops. The peninsula breakfast bar offers additional casual seating and is topped with an attractive marble worktop with induction hob. Further integrated appliances include eye level electric oven and grill, dish washer and fridge freezer.
The kitchen also benefits from an adjoining pantry providing further useful kitchen storage.
The dining room retains a sense of its original grandeur with high ceilings, sash windows and original coving. This space can accommodate a large dining table for those formal occasions.
The Oak Room is a more recent addition to the property offering further usable living space and has totally transformed the ground floor accommodation. This improved open plan layout has created an absolute superb entertaining area that opens out into the garden, connecting the two spaces. The current owners have also installed a pellet stove on the ground floor.
To the rear of the property is another reception room that is currently being used as a home office and may appeal to those currently working from home. This is a flexible space and could be utilised as a play room or an additional reception room. There is also a guest cloakroom with low flush WC and wall mounted wash hand basin.
LOWER GROUND FLOOR
The lower ground cellar space is currently being used as a laundry room and has plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer.
FIRST FLOOR
To the first floor there are four double bedrooms which are all generous in size. The master bedroom benefits from an ensuite shower room with walk in shower unit, low flush WC and a surface mounted wash bowl.
The house bathroom is fitted with a P-shaped bath with shower above, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.
Externally
The property sits on a generous plot that is surrounded by mature trees and stretches into woodland where there is a pleasant stream that runs through it.
The immediate surrounding garden is landscaped incorporating several lawned areas, patio areas, raised beds and covered outdoor seating areas.
The generous plot also provides ample parking for multiple vehicles. The property also has full conditional planning for a detached, semi-subterranean garage - Planning application 2014/62/91688/W
