About ‘Falconbee’
If you are looking for a home that also provides a ‘retreat’ from the hustle and bustle of a modern-day busy work life, then this is it! Falconbee occupies a fabulous semi-rural spot up Moorside Edge where it adjoins countryside and takes in some fantastic panoramic views stretching for miles and miles. The current owners purchased the property several years ago when they took the original cottage back to the bare bones, added a double storey extension plus a single storey rear extension. Falconbee now provides an immaculately presented home which has many features including an ‘Aga’ multi-fuel stove set into an exposed stonework chimney breast, exposed beams, mullioned windows (some having deep stone sills), stone flagged floor in the boot room, and quality fixtures and fittings throughout. It has an lpg central heating system, and double glazing. The accommodation briefly comprises an oak framed and glazed entrance hall, boot room/overflow kitchen, superbly fitted dining kitchen, inner hall, lounge, utility room with access to a w.c., and an integral garage. On the first floor you will find the master bedroom with en-suite shower room and dressing room, 2 further bedrooms and family bathroom. Externally, you will find access over a cobbled apron to the integral garage and parking for 2 vehicles to the side. There is a metal gate just a little further up the lane opening to the top yard where there is additional parking space and access to a large stone built agricultural building/workshop. You have access from here to gardens across the back of the house, extensive gardens to the side flowing down to a sizeable, paved terrace in front of the oak framed entrance hall and kitchen.

You will find a good variety of shops, bars, restaurants, and train station in both the nearby villages of Slaithwaite and Marsden and access literally from your doorstep to surrounding countryside walks. It is also only a short drive to junctions 23 & 24 of the M62 motorway for those who commute to any of the surrounding major conurbations.
