2 bed end terrace house for sale

Wessenden Head Road, Meltham, Holmfirth HD9

This attractive stone-built end terraced cottage is nicely tucked away at the end of a lane in a lovely semi-rural setting within a short walk of the rugged landscapes of the Pennine hills.

The accommodation briefly comprises entrance lobby, lounge, dining kitchen, cellar, first floor landing, bedroom 1 with dressing area, bedroom 2, and bathroom. Externally, it has an enclosed front garden, area to the side with gated access out to a public footpath, and there is a garage with adjoining store.
