3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Blakestones, Slaithwaite, Huddersfield HD7

A sizeable 3 bedroomed semi-detached cottage nicely tucked away within the old hamlet of Blakestones which is renowned for its quirky cottages and abundance of history. This particular property is in need of a full programme of modernisation and refurbishment both inside and out which we have reflected in the asking price, however, it has a huge amount of potential to be transformed into a lovely comfortable home. Externally, it has small areas to the front and side, and a small triangular garden area opposite the rear of the cottage which, with a bit of imagination, offers scope to create a lovely outside space in which to sit out and enjoy. The village of Slaithwaite is within walking distance where you will find an array of shops, bars, restaurants, train station, and bus stops.
