Offers over £550,000
A most appealing, grade II listed, detached, four / five bedroomed property, with potential for separate teenage/granny annexe that was formerly three farm cottages, and thought to be part of the original Weatherhill Farm. The property is perfectly placed as a commuter base for the nearby motorway access, as well as being only a short distance from Lindley village centre with its array of amenities and schools. Offering a spacious and characterful interior, the property features exposed stone mullioned windows, superb former fireplaces, beams and exposed stone work, complimented by a security system with CCTV, double glazing and a gas fired central heating system with condensing boiler. The accommodation briefly comprises a large, open plan dining room with double doors through to a spacious living room with former fireplace incorporating a gas stove. There is a kitchen with integrated appliances, updated in more recent times, a downstairs WC, utility, fifth bedroom/flexible living space and a formal side hallway. To the first floor, there is a spacious study landing area, four double bedrooms, the Master having its own en-suite bathroom with separate shower, and a family bathroom. There is parking for several vehicles on the driveway. The enclosed, principle garden enjoys a westerly aspect (a real afternoon sun trap) and has timber decked seating / entertaining areas and adjoining lawn. The property is handily placed for Lindley village main street amenities and well regarded local schooling, and is an ideal commuting base for the M62, midway between Leeds and Manchester. A most individual and characterful home which requires an early inspection.
Entrance Hall / Dining Room
An external timber door with a double glazed panel gives us access into the dining room. Whilst the property itself does have a wide entrance hallway, this does tend to serve as an every day entrance. It is a large, open plan eating and entertaining space, particularly light and bright. Of particular note is the exposed stone mullions between five individual, double glazed wooden windows. The room itself is particularly characterful, with exposed beams on display, exposed stonework to one wall, and there is fabulous exposed timber above the entrance door itself. There is Amtico flooring, and the room can accommodate a large formal dining table. A wide archway leads through to the rear positioned kitchen and double doors go through to the living room. The dining room incorporates the staircase with spindles and a useful storage cupboard beneath. The exposed stonework to one wall extends to a full height with the galleried study landing area above. There is a radiator, and twin, timber internal doors lead to the living room.
