About 4 newland fold

This enviable family home was created as part of the original conversion of the former Yorkshire Water buildings back in 2007.

On the upper level you will find an open mezzanine lounge with gallery overlooking the dining hall, 4 large double bedrooms, en suite shower room to the master bedroom, and a house bathroom. There is then access up to what is currently used as a TV/Games Lounge. The property has a gas fired central heating system, double glazing, and an intruder alarm.

As you will see from the photographs, there is also so much to be utilised and enjoyed outside but very briefly there is a double garage with parking in front, a beautifully landscaped garden south westerly facing garden, and access to communal gardens should you wish to take advantage of them.

The property occupies a semi-rural setting yet is conveniently placed with the well-regarded gastro pup ‘The Bull’s Head’ within a short walk, and access to all the village amenities in nearby Meltham, Slaithwaite and Linthwaite.<br /><br />
