Cottage for sale in Huddersfield HD7, 1 Bedroom

Full description This lovely, end of the row, stone-built cottage occupies a delightful semi-rural hillside position accessed via a track leading up off Stockerhead Lane. The cottage has been transformed and updated by the current owner who also changed the first floor two-bedroom layout, into one substantial bedroom now enjoying stunning views front and rear, with en suite bathroom, study, and has opened the bedroom up to reveal the fabulous roof timbers. It could easily be turned back into two separate bedrooms again should anyone prefer that (refer to the floor plan which shows both layouts). There are many original features coupled with the more modern installations so you will find exposed beams and roof timbers, 'Z' braced internal doors with cast iron latches, exposed stonework feature walls, antique style radiators, multi-fuel stove in the lounge, stylish fitted kitchen, modern white sanitary ware, and much more. The property also benefits from having fantastic views over the surrounding farmland and far across the valley, gas fired central heating system, and double glazing. Externally, you will find a good-sized paved garden area to the front, a rear garden area with access to a very useful outbuilding, and there is a garage, parking, timber shed and greenhouse structure on an adjoining piece of rented land.
