Garden

Externally, the Old Picture House occupies a remarkable location, just a short walk from the village. Situated on School Hill, just a short distance from the school, there is a driveway serving just a handful of neighbouring properties which then provides access to the subject property’s private pebbled driveway, offering parking for 2-3 vehicles, with additional parking opposite the private driveway. There are also external water taps to both the front and rear.

Garden

The gardens are positioned to the rear of the home and extends over five good-sized levels. The upper level is pebbled and paved, providing a lovely sitting-out area to the immediate rear of the home. Wrought iron railings, walling and steps provide access down to the next level, which is once again paved and provides space for a large greenhouse. Further steps lead down to the lawned area, and more steps leads down to the delightful, well-presented flower bed area. At the bottom of the garden is a further levelled area, acting as general open space with very large garden shed/workshop. A timber gate provides access to steps which lead to Turnshaw Road and the nearby local amenities. It is rare to find such a large and pleasant garden with delightful long-distance views, a good amount of privacy and flexibility, and yet to be so close to the village hub, with access to delightful rural walks to Emley Moor and beyond.
