4 bed detached house for sale

Crimble Bank, Slaithwaite, Huddersfield HD7

This generously sized 4 bedroomed detached family home was built around the start of the Art Deco period when there was still a strong Victorian and Edwardian influence with evidence of the changing styles which is apparent in this fine example built in 1912. It occupies an elevated position on the hillside above the village and takes full advantage of panoramic far-reaching views arguably some of the best in the valley. It is full of character and period features all complimented by more modern fixtures and fittings, double glazing, and gas fired central heating. Crimble Bank is only a short distance from the railway station, and canal side towpath which provides pleasant walks right up to Marsden and the Tunnel End Visitor Centre. The village centre offers a good range of shops, bars, cafes, restaurants, a leisure centre, and train station. This is also an excellent base for those who commute on a regular basis to any of the surrounding major conurbations such as Manchester, Leeds, Wakefield and Sheffield, having good access up to junctions 23 & 24 of the M62.

Ground Floor

The front entrance door, which has an art deco style glazed panel and matching fan light over, opens into:-

Hall

There is a 4-ring ceramic hob, double oven & grill, and dishwasher. The beauty of having free standing units (with the exception of those that are plumbed or wired in) is that with minimum effort and no expense, you can change the layout and order of your kitchen to suite yourself. There is a very generous space for dining which has a living flame gas fire set within the chimney breast having a timber surround and brickwork inset. You will also find ornate coving, dado rail, and limestone tile effect flooring.

Outside

Immediately in front of the house you walk out onto a pebbled and paved sitting area bordered by shrubs from where you can fully take in the stunning panoramic views from your elevated position (the current owners have their hot tub here). The remainder of the front garden is then laid out on various levels dropping down to Crimble Bank. The good-sized rear garden comprises a decked sun terrace, lawn, well stocked flower and shrub borders, and a small pond. A gate at the far end of the rear garden provides access out to Olney Street and to the parking area, single garage with path down the side leading to the rented allotment and summer house at the back of the garage from where you will also enjoy countryside views (rented from kmc at a current rent of £65pa). Although the property is well elevated from Crimble Bank at the front, there is fairly level access from Olney Street at the rear which is ideal as that is where the parking and garage are – much more convenient (truncated)
