About Corn Bank House
The property is originally believed to date back to the 1860s and was an addition to the original section of the building which sits next door with the works commissioned by a prominent local solicitor of the time – our clients still hold copies of the original specifications and drawings which can be passed on to the next owner.

It was subsequently split into 2 dwellings with the wonderful entrance porch which graces the side of the building transferred to this section. Our clients have owned the property since 1990 and enjoyed it as a family home but are now looking to downsize.

During their ownership, a number of major works have been carried out including turning the roof slates and underfelting (1991), re-wiring in 2007 (re-certified in 2017), and combining the kitchen and dining room (2007). Various external works have been carried out to the grounds along with routine maintenance jobs.

The property is entered via a wonderful entrance porch at the side which features oak panelling to the walls and double doors with panelled surround set within a carved stone archway. This leads into the spacious entrance hall with stairs to the first floor. There are 2 large reception rooms to the front of the building and the dining kitchen sits at the rear. This features a good range of fitted units, Aga range style cooker, bay window to the rear and a recessed pantry area. Also on this floor there is downstairs wc / cloakroom. The cellar is accessed via stairs from the kitchen.

On the first floor you will find a large landing area with a study area at one end and windows to the side overlooking the gardens. There are 4 good sized bedrooms on this floor. One has it’s own en-suite whilst the other three are served by the house bathroom.

The property is well maintained and presented with a gas fired central heating system with modern condensing boiler, partial uPVC double glazing and modern fixtures and fittings alongside the more traditional features which include high coved ceilings. We anticipate that buyers may wish to carry out further updating to their own tastes.

Externally, the property is accessed via remote control wrought iron gates which are mounted upon stone pillars. This leads to a generous tarmac parking area at the side of the building with access into the detached double garage. There is a mature lawned garden area in front of the building and a

further garden to the upper side of the driveway which is again lawned with a Cedarwood home office / garden room and an additional vegetable garden. At the rear of the house there are various useful stone built outbuildings.

Netherton is a popular village location set approximately 4 miles from the centre of Huddersfield. It is served by a number of small shops, pubs and other local amenities along Huddersfield Road. Hinchliffes Farm shop is located on the edge of the village with its adjoining restaurant The Rusty Bull. It also has 2 junior schools and a football club.
