Semi-detached house for sale in Arden Road, Halifax HX1

Arden Road connects the main King Cross Street to Savile Park via Bell Hall, and is such a convenient location for many. The local schools are literally next door, indeed number 26 has a view over the playing fields to the side, and there are shops and amenities aplenty within less than a mile, both at King Cross and in the town centre. There’s a lovely aspect across the road, looking at the architectural beauty of the long established alms houses, and the rear bedroom has a view over the houses on Savile Drive and off to the hills in the distance. The stone built semi-detached home looks great from outside, doesn’t it? The facade has that large bay window style along with the arched doorway, and the leaded and stained glass windows are such a lovely feature. Inside the accommodation won’t disappoint, either; the accommodation is a little bigger than we were expecting. The spacious entrance hall sets the tone, really, and there’s a small but useable cellar that’s ideal for storage. The lovely lounge and the good sized dining room are both set off the main hallway, as is the traditional kitchen, and the big question is whether you would choose to extend the kitchen to the side or the rear, or if you would go for a full two storey addition. Upstairs, there’s a truly spacious landing, and then three good bedrooms. There’s no box room in here, as even the third bedroom has room for a bed and other furniture, whilst the two double bedrooms are really nice sizes. The bathroom and separate WC are quite traditionally fitted, and there’s the chance to combine the two and make space for a shower enclosure, too. So... Plenty of opportunity, whatever your plans. We think you’ll want to make the home your own with a few alterations, but there’s gas central heating and it’s a lovely family home.

EPC Rating: E

Location

Leave Halifax along King Cross Street and merge with the dual carriageway. Turn left just before the traffic lights into Arden Road, and the house can be found on the left hand side. Postcode: HX1 3AG.

Entrance Hall

A traditional wide entrance hall that sets the tone for the rest of the home. The arched doorway is glazed, the leaded windows complementing the stained glass window in the door itself. It all provides a lovely feature, and allows plenty of light, too.

Lounge (3.84m x 3.34m)

The central focal point of this good sized living room should be the feature fireplace that's set into the chimney breast and houses a living flame style gas fire. However, our eyes are drawn to the leaded and stained glass windows and the deep ceiling coving that give the property its charm and character.

Dining Room (3.4m x 3.4m)

A second good sized reception room, with plenty of space for a dining suite or other furniture. It again has a fireplace that's set up into the chimney breast and houses a living flame style gas fire.

Kitchen (2.22m x 2.03m)

This neat kitchen is fitted traditionally with a range of cupboards down one side, with a sink unit and a freestanding cooker to the other side.

Cellar

The dry cellar provides useful storage space.

First Floor Landing

The rather spacious landing has another stained glass and leaded window to match those at the front of the house. This one to the side overlooks the playing fields, providing a lovely outlook.

Bedroom One (3.98m x 3.41m)

A good sized double bedroom to the front of the property. The leaded and stained glass windows narrow the room slightly to 3.34 metres, and enjoy a nice outlook across the road to the beautiful alms houses that are a real architectural feature on Arden Road.

Bedroom Two

A second good sized double bedroom, this one to the rear and enjoying a view above the adjacent houses and right the way to the hills in the distance.

Bedroom Three (2.15m x 2.09m)

A surprising third bedroom that makes a nice single bedroom, with space for a bed, a wardrobe, etc. It makes a great office, too, for anyone who needs to work from home. Again, the leaded and stained glass windows that are a real feature of the house look across the road to those wonderful alms houses.

Bathroom

Another traditional room, tiled and fitted with a wash basin and a bath. There's an airing cupboard in here, too, that provides useful space for towels and linens, and the bath has a shower above. The window provides natural light and ventilation.

WC

Matching the bathroom, the tiled WC has a low flush suite, and there's a window for natural light and ventilation.

Important Note:

We understand that a pedestrian right of way to the side of the property exists providing access to Savile Drive.

Garden

The low maintenance gardens include a paved patio area to the front and a solid seating or parking area at the rear. There is a right of way down the side of the driveway, leading to the houses on Savile Drive, but there's still space to extend to the side or rear if you're looking for that opportunity. You may need planning consent, and will need building regulations, of course. The real feature of the property is the position on Arden Road, the side aspect being over the playing fields which is a lovely view. The rear enjoys a view above the houses on Savile Drive and off to the hills in the distance, particularly from the rear bedroom, and the front looks across the road to the architectural delight that is the small development of alms houses.

Parking - Garage

The driveway leads to the large stone built garage that has space for a car and further space to use as a workshop. There's an up and over door, light and power.

Parking - Driveway

There's parking for several cars down the driveway to the side of the house. You could utilise the garden area at the rear for parking, too, as it was set up originally to house a caravan.
