The room has many features including a significant chimney piece, wonderful doors, beautiful panelling and three fabulous Georgian windows, each with window seats, giving fabulous views out over the propertys gardens. These flood the room with natural light and the balance of timbers used throughout the room is quite superb. With parquet flooring, the panelling is of walnut and sycamore and bordered in ebony. The doors are mahogany with ebony inlay, and these are to be found throughout the majority of the ground floor accommodation. The ceiling is beautifully detailed and has three chandelier points. The marble fireplace is a particularly fine example, and its detailed history will be given by the vendors on viewing. It superbly compliments the room, and houses a gas coal burning effect fire.

Study/Bedroom 4/Gym - (126 x 95)

Delightful Bar Area - There is a delightful bar room adjoining with superb flooring, inset spotlighting to the ceiling, and a period-style central heating radiator. Yet again, a very enjoyable space.

Outside - This home is in a commanding location with beautiful gardens and fine views out over the surrounding farmland, Honley Village, and Honley Moor beyond. Perhaps one of the most redeeming features of the home is that very few people know of its existence. To some extent hidden away, the home is approached through two separate driveways. The driveway provides a large amount of parking and turning space and is, again, exceptionally private.

Gardens - The gardens are delightful having been established for many years. The mature shrubbery, trees, lawns, and hard and soft landscaping all come together to create a garden of immense beauty. There are delightful sitting-out areas and many other features that will be sure to please when viewing takes place. The owners have carefully crafted within the grounds a delightful garden and woodland walk which, whilst promenading, gives a fabulous view across the valley. The maturity of the gardens beautifully compliments the home and the views. Not only does the home have formal gardens before it, attractive lawns, deep herbaceous beds, mature trees and shrubbery, but also some portion of the field adjoining the green field of the neiahbouring farmland. The driveway has two entrances which are an upper gate and a lower gate, the lower gate and driveway being shared with The Lodge which affords the home an attractive degree of privacy.

Additional Information - Please note the property is leasehold. Carpets, curtains and certain other extras may be available by separate negotiation.

Central Heating - Please note the property has gas fired central heating.

Planning Consent - The property has planning consent to extend. Please see a copy of the Planning Approvals and the plans depicted. These are available on the Kirklees website. This planning permission, which was recently granted, is for a single-storey proposed garden room which would adjoin the kitchen and having wonderful windows overlooking the gardens, a door giving direct access to the gardens, with a roof window lantern finding a huge amount of natural light and being accessed directly from the kitchen. Indeed, moving the kitchen into this wonderful space may be a consideration
