This five-bedroom home has been lovingly restored to its former glory providing spacious family living, a large and peaceful private garden and local amenities in close proximity.

Built over 130 years ago, Thorncliffe was originally built as a holiday home by a mill owner from Huddersfield, spacious and elegant, built from locally quarried stone with well-proportioned rooms and tranquilly set with stunning views.

Take the picturesque drive through the quiet roads and turn into the private gated driveway, where you will find an abundance of parking for owners and guests. Make your way up the central staircase to the symmetrical and elegant façade and enter the home through the large front door flanked with wall sconces lighting the way.

Restored encaustic tiles, once hidden, have been brought back to life celebrating the original Victorian entranceway and creating a homely and welcoming feel. As you continue, note other beautiful traditional features in the spindles of the mahogany staircase, door surrounds, dado rails and ceiling mouldings.

Move into the home and take the first left into a sophisticated formal living room, decorated in neutral cream tones with two large sash windows capturing the incredible views of Cracoe Fell and Rylstone Cross. Spend cosy evenings, entertaining friends as the warmth of the log burner radiates into the room.

Adjacent, discover the perfect place for celebrations in the dining room, where family Christmases can be spent around the dining table fit for eight. Glazed double doors let the light stream in from the rear of the home and lead into a garden room allowing for hosting to flow effortlessly from space to space as well as additional French doors opening into the garden where parties can continue.
This versatile room, currently used as a peaceful music room with pretty garden views which equally would make a splendid children's playroom. Also spot the handy drying and boiler room making laundry a breeze in every season.

Continue to the front of the home into a comfortable lounge that again affords you the most incredible views of the surrounding landscape through the large picture windows and a characterful log burner set in an elegant stone surround. With so much light streaming in and such elegantly high ceilings this is most definitely a room suited for all seasons and manner of festivities, from more formal celebrations to family movie nights.

Move forward and you will find yourself back into the hallway where your journey continues upstairs to the sleeping quarters. Soft beige carpets underfoot take you up past the large glazed aperture on the half-landing letting in an abundance of natural light to both lower and upper levels.
