4 bed detached house for sale

Wolfstones Road, Netherthong, Holmfirth HD9

A unique opportunity to purchase this brick built detached house set in a stunning 2.36 acre plot in one of the region’s most sought after rural settings. The property was built in the early 1950s and having been in the same ownership since then, is now offered for sale. The current dwelling offers 4 bedroom accommodation but we feel that there is considerable further potential for the next owner to redesign to their own tastes and needs subject to planning permission being approved.

About Fourways

This is a unique opportunity to purchase a home of unrivalled potential occupying a stunning location between the villages of Netherthong and Wilshaw. The property was originally built circa 1952 and is of brick construction beneath a mainly pitched (Welsh slate) and partly flat roof. It was designed by the renowned architect Arthur Quarmby, albeit not in the modernist style that he became renowned for. The property has remained within the same ownership.

Fourways sits within a impressive 2.36 acre plot with extensive gardens and woodland and enjoys superb rural views. A sweeping driveway from Wolfstones Road leads up to the side of the house where there is generous parking and a detached double garage.

The existing dwelling has an entrance porch at the front leading to the hall which in turn gives access to the main downstairs rooms. The lounge has a bay window to the front, and the dining room is positioned to the side of the building. Alongside this is the kitchen which in turn has a walk in pantry off. There is also a side entrance porch with boiler room / store adjoining. Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms, 2 being good sized doubles and a bathroom.

The property is connected to mains water and electricity. Drainage is to a septic tank and the heating system is oil fired. The property is generally well maintained but would benefit from updating of fittings. We expect that the next owner will look to carry out an extensive scheme of renovation which could include a substantial extension and redesign to create a home that is more in keeping with the size of the plot. This would all be subject to the necessary planning consents of course.
