Millbrook Cottage, Magdale, Honley, Holmfirth

An opportunity to acquire a riverside property in beautiful Magdale. Complete with extensive outdoor space and a double garage.

Enjoy daily walks along the river bank, admire the local scenery and watch the birds and other creatures go about their daily routine in the lovely conservation area that is Magdale.

An oasis for local walkers and those that enjoy the outdoors, on the edge of Honley village, one of the most sought after villages in all of Huddersfield and Holmfirth.

To understand the extent of the ownership and boundaries one should look at the title plan included within these particulars, you'll be surprised at how much land the property has.

View the floorplan to understand the interior layout and peruse our photos, video and 3D tour before arranging a personal inspection.  It is fair to say that a buyer will want to modernise and even explore extending the house, it has potential subject to planning consent.

The house is part of a conversion of buildings associated with the local mill, and provides generous ground floor living space with the addition of three bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor.

The outdoors has established gardens and a double garage with a remote control door, as well as riverside land and additional areas adjacent to the old mill pond. There’s even a former wheel house and sleuce with the mill pond overflow running by.

The front garden is laid to lawn with mature shrubs and bushes.  It runs down into the River Holme at the bottom.  The side garden is just lovely - private and well established with a little bridge over the sleuce to an area at the far side.  The land extends along the river bank towards the waterfall as depicted in the title plan, this area is left to the wildlife at present.

There is a double semi detached garage with power and a remote control garage door.  There is a turning area in front of the garages too for our client and the neighbour.

Walkers and residents enjoy free passage along Magdale, and local buyers will be familiar with the property as it is instantly recognisable. It’s a lovely place from which to enjoy the surroundings and also one of convenience too.

There are excellent road links, local bus services on the main road, an array of local businesses and the vibrant village of Honley on hand.

Honley has a variety of local shops, public services, schooling for children of all ages and places to eat out and socialise. From the house one can also stroll up the hill to the local farm shop and restaurant at Hinchliffes in Netherton.

There is a local railway station connecting to Huddersfield and Sheffield, and business travellers will also appreciate the proximity to Leeds, Manchester and Sheffield which are all around 24 miles away.

The house offers plenty of potential for new owners to make improvements and to put their own mark on it.

Our client is reluctantly moving due to relocation after around 40 years of ownership, and one can understand why, as houses of such an individual and interesting nature with so much outdoor space, do not come on the market very often.

Viewing is strictly by appointment with our Honley office.
