Detached house for sale in Timmey Lane, Sowerby Bridge HX6

Down a small lane and nestled to the hillside and enjoying far reaching views right across the valley, this really is an idyllic location, and yet you’re just a few hundred metres from the main Burnley Road, and less than a mile to the multitude of facilities in the centre of Sowerby Bridge. The house has been built towards the middle of a generous plot, so there are good gardens to both sides, and there’s a block paved driveway where you can park up to four cars in front of the large double garage that has twin electrically operated doors. The front of the house looks across the valley, taking in those views, and we can picture ourselves sitting on the front terrace sipping something chilled in the summer. Inside, the house is likely to surprise you. The nice hallway runs down the middle of the house, leading to a utility room at the back. To the right there’s a twenty one foot lounge which should be big enough for most families, and off to the left is the real hub of the house: The family kitchen. This room’s a little bigger, at twenty seven feet long, and it has its unique areas. The kitchen area is extensively stocked with units and integrated appliances, and there’s that range cooker for all who enjoy their time in the kitchen. The dining area should accommodate most dinner parties, and is a great space for family meals. The room then kinks around the corner into a breakfast area that could be divided off for anyone with older children. We think this is a great space for younger children, though, and for anyone wanting to keep an eye on them whilst busy in the kitchen. There’s a downstairs WC, of course, which is particularly useful in a family home. Upstairs, the central landing gives way to four double bedrooms and a house bathroom. The principal bedroom is a really good size, and fitted with wardrobes. It has an en-suite shower room, and it enjoys those views from the front. We imagine it’s a lovely sight to wake up to. Bedroom two is also at the front, again taking in those views, and there are two more double bedrooms, both looking out over the rear gardens. The house bathroom is well fitted, having both a bath and a shower enclosure, and there’s plenty of space, in keeping with the rest of the house. It’s a great prospect, being so close to highly regarded schools, and it has that benefit of being in a quieter location but within easy reach of all amenities. It surprised us, so perhaps you should come and see it for yourself.
