OPTION ONE - MAJOR HOUSE EXTENSION

Approximately 3878 square feet. We have had plans drawn by a local architect of high repute of how to convert the ground floor, and to add superbly to the first floor, to create an impressive home that, perhaps, takes full advantage of the large grounds and long-distance views across the valley. These plans are, obviously, not submitted to the local council and a purchase on this basis would be subject, of course, to a planning consent being approved. We show the following designs and layout for guidance purposes only, but this will, perhaps, inspire people to create a further accommodation within this already flexible home.

STORM PORCH ENTRY

The storm porch gives shelter to the high-quality timber door, this with inset leaded glazing with matching glazed side panel which gives access through to the impressive hallway.

HALLWAY

The impressive hallway is of a particularly good size and has coving to the ceiling, two wall light points and chandelier point, and twin timber and glazed doors give access through to the sitting room.

This delightful room has lovely timbers to the ceiling, once again with an astonishing view across the valley, and has a chandelier point. There is a brick fireplace with raised hearth, all being home for a cast iron, glaze-fronted, multifuel burning stove.

There is a gable window, a Velux window, central heating radiator, and oak flooring.

OUTSIDE

The property occupies a remarkable location elevated up from Wakefield Road between the villages of Denby Dale and Scissett with a lovely rural view to the front out over Stubbin Farm and beyond. This oasis of garden provides a huge amount of privacy and shelter. The gardens and grounds measure just over an acre (approximately). There is a steep meandering driveway that leads up to the front of the property and continues past the property up to a very large driveway area providing a huge amount of parking and turning space. This gives access to a number of outbuildings including a four-car garage fitted with two automatically operated up-and-over doors. To the rear of the garage, there are two large storage areas, and the garage is fitted with power and light. There is a further double garage, with large car port before it. This car port is very substantial and has wonderful beams and timbers. There is a high-level gable window, Velux windows, and the car port offers a substantial amount of space and flexibility. A double-width doorway gives access through to the further double garage/workshop which has glazing to the side and centrally located personal access door. This, at one time, was a garage opening therefore the double door could be removed and replaced in its original location giving easy access without going through the car port. This additional garage has a very high ceiling height and, once again, is fitted with power and light.

BARN/STABLES

This detached building has a fabulous location at the head of the grounds and has a very large hay store to the rear, three good-sized stables with lovely views across the valley, and a very large additional garage/workshop/feed store which is beautifully equipped as a workshop and having timber and glazed doors. This has an astonishing view out over the property and towards the fields opposite. There is an illuminated canopy and a forecourt area to the front. A timber gate gives access to a pathway which leads round to the field, details of which are to follow.

GARDENS

As the photographs suggest, the gardens have been beautifully landscaped over the years and have a wonderful array of mature shrubbery and trees, shaped lawns, beautiful flowering beds, delightful sitting-out areas with stone-flagged surfaces, antique brick surrounds, and seating areas at the other levels, giving lovely views across the gardens and the rural scene beyond. There is a substantial greenhouse with flagged forecourt area before it, delightful stone features throughout the gardens, and the lawns and mature shrubbery meander down to the main road level. The gardens have two beautiful copper beech trees and a beautiful willow tree. The home is principally built of stone beneath a pitched stone slate roof.

THE FIELD

The field, which measures approximately three acres, is located nearby and has been used by the family for many years for the family’s horses. It is in the family’s ownership and may be rented by the purchaser(s). Terms and conditions of this can be discussed at a later stage.
