Flat for sale in Dean House Lane, Luddenden HX2

Surrounded by countryside, with breathtaking views, Oats Royd Mill is one of the region's most prestigious apartment complexes. The complex was converted in 2006 by Lowry Renaissance, specialists in creating luxury apartments from historic mill sites, and it just takes a visit to Oats Royd to appreciate their reputation. Electric gates provide access to the residents' parking area, where number 76 benefits from private, allocated car parking. The old mill buildings and chimney provide a wonderful backdrop and blend into the fields and trees of the surrounding countryside. There are 'The Bandstand' style decked seating terraces, solely for residents' use, and the private mill pond provides for a lovely view, with the colourful flowerbeds off to one side. There is a bus stop immediately outside the gates, for access into Sowerby Bridge or Halifax, and there is a visitor's car park on site, too. The apartment itself offers a manageable living space within this lovely development, not too far from the lift for anyone who needs to consider these things, with surprisingly good sized rooms and quality fittings throughout. The spacious hallway has a useful storage and airing cupboard, and the bathroom and the bedroom are both larger than you might expect. The open plan living room has an exposed brick and stone wall for that character feel, whilst the kitchen area is well equipped, and packed with integrated appliances.
