Amberwood

Panoramic views await, just a short drive from the amenities of West Yorkshire, from the contemporary haven of Amberwood, an elevated and modernised home overlooking the green belt valley in the direction of Emley Moor.

Pull up onto the attractive, block paved driveway, where there is ample parking, alongside a two-door double garage.

Elevated living

Step inside and see this light-filled, expansive home open up in front of you, emerging into a broad and bright entrance hall, whose open-plan layout frames views directly ahead out over the stunning countryside. Glass balustrades to the staircase help to amplify the light flow, retaining focus on the incredible views and spacious living afforded at Amberwood.

A home renovated and reloved by its current owners over the last decade, improvements include refitted windows, new bifolding doors, an extension to the garage, the introduction of underfloor heating to the upper level and new oak flooring throughout the living spaces alongside new oak doors.

Freshen up in the WC on the left, before making your way ahead and left into the contemporary kitchen-diner. Tiled in cream underfoot, savour the stunning, lofty views out over the fields, whilst dining at the sociable central island breakfast bar. There is also a large area for dining.

Savour the view

Cleverly designed, the gas hob within the central island faces the diners, allowing you to chat and socialise without turning your back to guests. A full complement of well-crafted cabinetry offers ample storage, whilst an array of fitted appliances also includes an oven, extractor, dishwasher, sink, fridge-freezer and microwave.

After dinner, retire to the floating conservatory, and admire the far reaching, pastoral views over the countryside. Oak flooring lies underfoot, whilst full height windows frame unbroken views out over towards Emley Moor. Step out onto the balcony and savour the view as you enjoy refined dining alfresco.

OWNER QUOTE: "It's wonderful watching the wildlife in the fields opposite, sitting out on the balcony, looking at the view."

Off the kitchen, a practical utility room houses additional storage space, with access out to the side and through into the double garage.

Relax and unwind

Returning to the entrance hall, to the left, relax and unwind in the main living room, where bifolding doors seamlessly concertina all the way back to connect you with the balcony, inviting the outdoors and verdant countryside views in. Oak flooring flows underfoot, whilst light also streams in through high Velux windows above.

With plenty of space for furniture, the double height ceiling amplifies the airiness of this substantially sized room, where a log-burning fire packs out warmth in the winter months.

Currently used as an office, offering inspirational views out over the countryside, off the entrance hall, discover one of the bedrooms, currently furnished with shelving and with the capacity to reinstate an ensuite bathroom should you wish to return the room to its previous function.

With views out to the peaceful lane, and with oak flooring underfoot, discover a warm and welcoming snug to the front of Amberwood, the perfect place to relax and unwind.

Refresh and recharge

Descend the glass and oak staircase from the entrance hall to the middle level, arriving at a carpeted landing, spacious and bright, where to the right, refreshment awaits in the family bathroom.

Luxurious and spacious, with gleaming marblesque tiling underfoot, harmonising with a band of blue tiles to the white walls, this family-sized bathroom features twin blue glass wash basins, and corner bath with separate shower.

And so to bed...
Retire in relaxation in the master suite next door, where bifolding doors blur the boundaries between outdoors and in, folding back to provide instant access out onto the balcony. Soak up the inspirational views over the valley; what better way to begin the day than with a morning coffee and croissant in the tranquil surrounds of nature?

Refresh and recharge in the handy ensuite, whilst storage can be found in the useful walk-in wardrobe.

Turning right out of this bedroom, passing the stairs, arrive at a dressing room, well furnished with shelves and storage cupboards.

Another double bedroom can be found next door, currently used for storage. Meanwhile, ideal for guests, a secluded king-size bedroom, with access out to a sheltered balcony running along the rear of the home to the master bedroom, can be found tucked away along the landing, also furnished with built-in wardrobes and enjoying the ever-present, far-reaching views.

Stairs lead down from this floor to the lower level, currently devoted to leisure, and bursting with potential for use as annexe accommodation.

Turning left, arrive at the games room, a substantially sized room, which lies next door to the sun room-utility, which could be used for business purposes or even as a kitchen for a self-contained apartment. Doors open to a sheltered balcony overlooking the garden and countryside.

Glorious garden

Soak up the serenity from the outside terrace, a sheltered verandah which offers instant access out to the good-sized, flat lawn, perfect for children's play. Low hedging retains the unbroken views over pastures and hillsides, whilst attractive water features add a soothing sensory element to the garden, alongside an attractive wildlife pond.

Steps reconnect you with the driveway to the side, whilst there is scope for further development in the garden room featuring a sauna with ensuite shower room, ideal for conversion into an annexe. There is also a handy wood store.
