Lumb Lane, Almondbury, Huddersfield

One can easily imagine one's children playing in the gardens, copse and winding stream that accompany this lovely family home.  A rare opportunity.  In arguably one of Huddersfield's most sought after rural settings, this detached house stands in a large garden plot with mature lawns, a small woodland copse, and a sweeping driveway with a cattle grid. 

Situated along Lumb Lane with a beautiful backdrop, and a lovely view to the front, and with local scenic walks all around, this mature detached house offers a rare opportunity for families and professionals.

Occupied by our client's family for several decades, this has been a wonderful home for them which stands in beautiful established gardens complete with a stream running through, and even a small woodland copse which attracts lots of birds and wildlife.

The locale is first class.  Overlooking Farnley Line with views across local fields and beyond, this is an aspirational address for many within the greenbelt and being a short distance from Castle Hill.

Almondbury village with all of its daily amenities is only a few minutes away, and the property is also well placed for those seeking access to Holmfirth and Huddersfield as well as the motorway networks that make commuting convenient for business travellers.

Schooling for children of all ages is on hand in the village, and the much sought after King James High School is within walking distance.

Those who enjoy the outdoors will appreciate the position which is perfect for walking and cycling etc.  Around the area are a variety of places to eat out and socialise, and there are a variety of other local villages with extensive amenities.  Huddersfield and Holmfirth town centres are each around fifteen minutes away by car, as is the University of Huddersfield.

The property requires modernisation, and at present offers spacious three bedroom, three reception room accommodation as depicted in our floor plans.

There is a large garage and additional store/boiler rooms in the basement which have external access.

The living accommodation comprises:-

Entrance Porch, Cloakroom/wc, Spacious Dining Hall, Large Lounge with a walk-in bay window and French windows with views over the garden and beyond.  A spacious fitted shaker style kitchen with integrated appliances has a small sun lounge extension with a door out onto the patio, making it perfect for alfresco dining.  Lastly there is a triple aspect study with views over three garden elevations, which is a genuine delight.

On the first floor, the main bedroom is a large double with fitted wardrobes and a walk-in bay window.  There are two further spacious double bedrooms, a shower room with walk-in shower, and a separate w.c.

A buyer may wish to explore the opportunity to extend the property to form a much larger dwelling with a side extension (subject to obtaining planning permission).  The plot is certainly large enough to accommodate a much more spacious house.  That said, this is a well planned spacious family home with excellent existing potential and ready buyers are encouraged to arrange a personal inspection.

The essentials:  Mains services are available.  The property is Freehold - plan as depicted on the land registry.  Council Tax Band is F.  Restrictive covenants apply.  Please note:  Our client will add an overage clause to the sale of the property - to be negotiated by the solicitors.
