Park House is uniquely situated within the parkland of the historic Wortley Hall and occupies a sizeable plot of approximately 1.5 acres in an idyllic country setting. The main house has four bedrooms and provides spacious family accommodation. There is also a one bedroomed self-contained cottage that is ideal for relatives and has scope to create further living space.

This wonderful home is approached by a private lane and throughout the property, the surrounding far-reaching views can be enjoyed. The south-facing gardens contain a large lawn, two stone seating areas and a variety of mature trees. There is also the benefit of a paddock and outbuilding, which includes two garages, a garden store and four stables.

Park House is generously proportioned throughout. One of the main focal points of the home is the oak framed orangery, which serves as the main entrance and overlooks the gardens and beyond. Other advantages include a country-style dining kitchen with an Aga and a sizeable lounge with a log burner. Across the first floor is an exceptionally spacious master bedroom that has a vaulted ceiling and en-suite, a family bathroom and three additional bedrooms, two of which are double bedrooms.

Park House Cottage is connected to the main house via the plant room or is accessed externally, making it very versatile to either be self-contained or provide additional living space to the main house. The presently occupied portion of the cottage offers one bedroom, a lounge, a kitchen and a shower room. The remainder of the cottage is a large space which is currently a construction project, including a sympathetic stone extension, to reconfigure and expand the accommodation offered. The building is weatherproofed, enclosed and has electric with a consumer board. One of the rooms has been plastered and painted, and the shower room has a plumbed WC and wash hand basin. The construction is paused and will not be completed prior to sale, therefore presenting a blank canvas to a new owner with the opportunity to tailor the space to their requirements. Full details of the current owners intended plans are detailed under 'Park House Cottage'.

The property is serviced by a ground source heat pump with a mixture of under floor heating and radiators, and has been sustainably insulated to greatly improve the energy efficiency. There is also planning permission granted for the installation of ground mounted solar panels within the paddock and detailed plans for a roof mounted solar system to the cottage, offering an opportunity to further increase efficiency.

The surrounding area offers a range of countryside walks that are available from the doorstep and include Wortley Hall, open parkland and woodland. The local amenities of Wortley are easily accessible and comprise of a public house, vintage tea room and a farm shop. The Wortley Golf Club and Tankersley Golf Club are both accessible within a short distance. Stocksbridge is also close-by, providing a variety of restaurants and shops within the Fox Valley Shopping Park. The property is conveniently located for access to the Stocksbridge By-pass and M1 motorway, which allow good links to Barnsley, Manchester, Leeds and Sheffield. Additionally, the Peak District can be reached within a short drive.
