About Old Pastures

Old Pastures is an individual stone-built residence built for and designed by the current owners in 1996. The location is highly desirable in the village of South Crosland and the Church Lane address means stunning far reaching valley views to the rear. The flexible family sized accommodation is set over three floors with a first-floor balcony and large rear decked and brick set patio area taking advantage of the incredible views and location. To the lower ground floor there are two additional rooms which can offer bedroom 4 and even bedroom 5 with home office, gym or play room or there is clear potential for teenager suite / dependant relative options.

The accommodation briefly comprises of; covered entrance porch, entrance hallway, dining room, lounge with great views, dining kitchen with equally impressive views, WC, lower ground floor wide hallway, bedroom 4 and home office/garden room and three double bedrooms to the first floor, dressing area and ensuite from the main bedroom and house bathroom. There are ample built in wardrobes in three bedrooms and all rooms on every level located to the rear enjoy the valley views.

The property offers a double integral garage with Hormann automatic sectional doors and a suitably wide double drive and to the rear there is a real blank canvas of a garden that has been left for the new owner to mould it into their own designs and needs and giving an opportunity to put your own individual stamp on the property.

The location is key at Old Pastures and not just because of the much-admired village location and stunning views but it is a mere four and a half miles out of Holmfirth centre, less than four miles from the increasingly popular Slaithwaite centre and a little over three miles from Huddersfield centre. Within a short walk are the picturesque Folly Dolly Falls on the Meltham Greenway and the offer of a circuit around the Blackmoorfoot Reservoir nearby.

Plot Size

Rear Garden

Directly to the rear of the property is a large decked and block set patio area which offer plenty of space for outdoor entertaining or family relaxing time. The rear garden is a true blank canvas. The rear wall needs to be rebuilt and the overall garden area be partly levelled. This needs work which can be carried out without the need for access to the house and gives the potential new owners scope to meet their own requirements. Also and as shown on the floor plan there is a under house walk in store area (11’ x 5’ approx.) which is also covered by the alarm and an additional store area beyond (not shown on the plan) that houses the property’s hot water tank. There is a sink, power, lighting and options for cycle and garden tool storage and hobby space. There is also the A rated Ideal Logic Max gas boiler in here.

Please Note

That the vendors and Wm Sykes are aware that the rear garden and balcony both offer a fantastic opportunity whilst meriting attention. The woodwork on the balcony has been removed as it has reached the end of its lifespan and like the garden this offers a great opening for the new owners to make their own choices in finish and design. It is important to note that three estate agents have visited the property, and all felt that when the garden and balcony work is successfully undertaken the market value of the property would be significantly more. £625,000 has been quoted. The asking price of £575,000 is therefore greatly reduced in line with the garden and balcony work. Therefore, consideration has been given and at a very generous level. This work carried out by contractors could easily be completed whilst the new owners are out at work or on holiday etc and have no impact on living in the house. For any further details, please speak to the vendor when viewing the (truncated)

Additional Information
