Detached house for sale in Huddersfield Road, Meltham, Holmfirth HD9

An intriguing family home to both delight and challenge the senses! Over 2,000 sq ft (185 sq m) of living space, including a stunning kitchen/diner and a large versatile annexe, plus a delightful hidden oasis of a garden and gated parking. It really does need to be viewed to be appreciated.

If ever there was a family home to both delight and challenge the senses, it has to be this intriguing property close to the centre of Meltham. Simple and modest on the outside and with an intriguing blend of period, character and contemporary on the inside plus so much living space as well as a delightful hidden oasis of a garden, this property really does need to be viewed to be appreciated. The current owners have reconfigured parts of the house and the result is a really interesting combination of living spaces that offer so much versatility that it may take you a while to decide how best to use them.

Stepping in the front door and you're in a spacious entrance hall which has ample coat hooks as well as a large cupboard so no excuse for being untidy here! Off this hall is a useful office complete with fitted desk, cupboards and shelves so already set up for you, should you wish or need to work from home. Next is the snug which is perfect for some quiet time away from the rest of the family. At the back of the snug another door leads to a spacious inner hallway off which are the main living areas as well as handy utility room / WC.

The large lounge to the front has a multi-fuel burner set on a stone flagged fireplace with useful build in cupboards on either side. There is more than enough space for a large comfy sofa and occasional furniture. On the other side of the hallway is a rather striking Shaker style kitchen / diner. With vaulted ceilings and 5 Velux windows, the space is very bright and light. The excellent range of base and wall units provide plenty of storage and there's ample worktop space. There is also more than enough room for a large dining table and it's easy to imagine entertaining friends and family as you prepare delicious meals using the large dual fuel range. There's even a multi-fuel burner in the corner! Imagine lingering over a tasty dinner, with wine and conversation flowing and a roaring fire keeping you all warm and toasty!

At the back of the kitchen, what was originally a double garage has been converted to create an exceptionally large annexe which offers so much versatility. It's currently used as another lounge but, with its own external door, a small kitchenette with sink and fridge plus a shower room, it could be used as self-contained studio accommodation for your extended family or for older children. Or, it would make a fabulous games room. However, if you choose to use it as part of your main living area, as do the current owners, it offers a great entertaining space as it connects the kitchen to the garden.

This enclosed main garden feels like a hidden oasis with patio areas set in between beds of mature shrubs. The main patio area is positioned to get the most sun so perfect for relaxing and entertaining. There is also a smaller courtyard which can be accessed from both the snug and the inner hallway.

Now let's head back inside to that hallway. Before heading upstairs to the spacious bright galleried landing, note the space under the stairs which makes a cosy den for your pets. On this floor, you have 4 double bedrooms, one with an ensuite, and the family bathroom. There are beams in abundance up here which give this floor a real character feel which blends nicely with the contemporary flavour of the bathrooms.

Outside: The sunny enclosed low maintenance back garden is quite delightful with flagged patios and beds planted with mature shrubs. Closest to the house is an enclosed flagged courtyard. There is also gated off road parking for 2 cars which is accessed from the access lane that runs along the side of the property.

This house is in a great location with easy access to the centre of Meltham and all its amenities, including shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. Local schools are comfortably within reach. It's also great for those who wish to enjoy the rest of the Holme Valley and for commuters travelling to Huddersfield, Leeds, Manchester and beyond.
