Occupying a surprisingly generous plot which results in wonderful private gardens, particularly suited to the family purchaser with younger children, this unique four bedroom detached family home was originally constructed to a bespoke design, very different to the more frequently seen chalet style properties adjacent. This much cherished family home has been occupied by our Vendor clients for over 50 years and is now only offered to the market as a result of relocation. We firmly believe a detailed inspection is essential to fully appreciate the ambience created by this lovely setting, whilst the great potential for updating and re-appointment on offer, once again can only be fully understood by way of a detailed inspection. With gas heating and uPVC double glazing, the accommodation on offer extends to Entrance Vestibule, Entrance Hall, outstanding Lounge, Dining Room with open plan aspect to adjoining Kitchen, Study, Utility Room, Cloakroom/WC, Conservatory, four Bedrooms with Ensuite Shower Room to Bedroom One and House Bathroom. The generous gardens contain a substantial, bespoke built summer house with garden WC.
LOCATION
The property enjoys a quiet cul de sac setting whilst also being within walking distance of the Denby Dale village centre and its varied amenities, and highly regarded local schools, which will of course appeal to family buyers. Denby Dale first school and nursery is less than a ten minute walk away, with Shelley College also being placed within a comfortable walking distance. Denby Dale benefits from being rather central to many South and West Yorkshire towns and cities. The M1 motorway is only a fifteen minute drive away, allowing easy access for commuters to Leeds, Wakefield, Sheffield, Manchester and Barnsley.
