This unique home presents a very rare opportunity for someone to purchase a sizable yet characterful family home with the added opportunity to modify it to suit a whole multitude of uses.

The current owners have happily lived at the property for almost 32 years and are reluctantly downsizing, allowing another family to enjoy what has been for them, an excellent family home.

Ground Floor
Entrance hall, leading to a grand and spacious inner hallway that provides access to the ground floor reception rooms, staircase to the first floor and further staircase to the lower ground cellar space.

Immediately on the right is the kitchen and dining room that is fitted with a selection of both wall and base units in a natural oak finish with complimentary worktops and stainless steel sink and drainer. There is a Range cooker, plumbing for a dish washer and space for additional free standing appliances. The dual aspect windows bring in plenty of natural light and there is sufficient space to accommodate a large family dining table.

Across the hallway is the formal dining room that is currently being used as a home office. Another generous room with large window to the front aspect, feature cast iron fireplace and marble surround.

To the rear of the property is the main sitting room that overlooks the rear garden. There is a second decorative fireplace with marble surround and tiled hearth along with a fitted gas fire. Bespoke built in shelving have filled the alcove spaces creating really useful additional storage.

First Floor
To the first floor you will find three of the four double bedrooms, the house bathroom and separate w.c..

The house bathroom is particularly generous in size and is fitted with a three piece suite including a built in shower unit, bath and wash hand basin.

The separate cloakroom has a low flush w.c., a wash hand basin and a built in airing cupboard.

Second Floor
To the second floor there is an impressive and flexible space that is currently only partially utilised and houses the last of the double bedrooms. There are however three further attic rooms that were historically the servants quarters that are perfect for converting into further bedrooms (subject to necessary consents)

Lower Ground Floor
Back down to the lower ground floor and there is another surprising space. With its own independent access, this whole ground floor has the potential to be an amazing space that has historically been used as a business space. With three separate basement rooms, a utility room, w.c. and three storage rooms there is over 840 square feet of usable space that could be converted into a self-contained annex or workplace (subject to necessary consents)

Externally
To the front of the property there is a paved driveway providing off street parking. There is a low maintenance courtyard style garden with well-manicured borders filled with plants and shrubs.

To the rear there is a large gravelled garden with a mature boundary that is filled with an abundance of plants, shrubs and trees creating a good degree of privacy.

From the Colne Valley office head along Manchester Road towards Slaithwaite. Take the second left turn onto Hoyle House Fold and then take the first right onto Chapel Hill. The property is on the left.
