Sandy Lane, South Crosland, Huddersfield

A unique opportunity has arisen to purchase this spacious Grade II former farmhouse and barn. Converted in the 1970's into a family home with adjacent entertainment space, the property provides approximately 3,200 sqft of accommodation which is accessed via a sweeping driveway and has to be viewed to be appreciated.
With 5 good sized bedrooms, the property also provides 2 reception rooms, one of which is on the first floor and enjoys far reaching views through 2 large picture windows and patio doors with balcony. The attached barn was converted into an entertainment space with a large fireplace, wood flooring, bespoke bar area and minstrel gallery above. This area could be refurbished to provide a modern entertainment area, or alternatively could be used as an additional reception room.
Externally, the formal gardens and land extend to approximately 3.61 acres and provide superb far reaching views towards Castle Hill and beyond. With a large pond, lawns, shrub land, off road parking for 6+ vehicles, together with an integral garage and further garage block/workshop.
Currently requiring a programme of modernisation and improvement works, the property provides ample living space, storage space and gives the discerning buyer the potential to create an amazing property in this quiet, picturesque area that is South Crosland.
Providing a semi-rural position, with access to the amenities nearby in Crosland Moor and Meltham, whilst also being a short drive from Huddersfield town centre, this property will appeal to those looking for a quiet base with good commuter links.
Only by an internal inspection can one truly appreciate the position, potential and space this property and its gardens provide.
