Property description & features
- Tenure: Freehold
EPC Rating: D
OPTION ONE - MAJOR HOUSE EXTENSION
Approximately 3878 square feet. We have had plans drawn by a local architect of high repute of how to convert the ground floor, and to add superbly to the first floor, to create an impressive home that, perhaps, takes full advantage of the large grounds and long-distance views across the valley. These plans are, obviously, not submitted to the local council and a purchase on this basis would be subject, of course, to a planning consent being approved. We show the following designs and layout for guidance purposes only, but this will, perhaps, inspire people to create a further accommodation within this already flexible home.

There is a gable window, a Velux window, central heating radiator, and oak flooring.
OUTSIDE
The property occupies a remarkable location elevated up from Wakefield Road between the villages of Denby Dale and Scissett with a lovely rural view to the front out over Stubbin Farm and beyond. This oasis of garden provides a huge amount of privacy and shelter. The gardens and grounds measure just over an acre (approximately). There is a steep meandering driveway that leads up to the front of the property and continues past the property up to a very large driveway area providing a huge amount of parking and turning space. This gives access to a number of outbuildings including a four-car garage fitted with two automatically operated up-and-over doors. To the rear of the garage, there are two large storage areas, and the garage is fitted with power and light. There is a further double garage, with large car port before it. This car port is very substantial and has wonderful beams and timbers. There is a high-level gable window, Velux windows, and the car port offers a substantial amount of space and flexibility. A double-width doorway gives access through to the further double garage/workshop which has glazing to the side and centrally located personal access door. This, at one time, was a garage opening therefore the double door could be removed and replaced in its original location giving easy access without going through the car port. This additional garage has a very high ceiling height and, once again, is fitted with power and light.
BARN/STABLES
This detached building has a fabulous location at the head of the grounds and has a very large hay store to the rear, three good-sized stables with lovely views across the valley, and a very large additional garage/workshop/feed store which is beautifully equipped as a workshop and having timber and glazed doors. This has an astonishing view out over the property and towards the fields opposite. There is an illuminated canopy and a forecourt area to the front. A timber gate gives access to a pathway which leads round to the field, details of which are to follow.
GARDENS
As the photographs suggest, the gardens have been beautifully landscaped over the years and have a wonderful array of mature shrubbery and trees, shaped lawns, beautiful flowering beds, delightful sitting-out areas with stone-flagged surfaces, antique brick surrounds, and seating areas at the other levels, giving lovely views across the gardens and the rural scene beyond. There is a substantial greenhouse with flagged forecourt area before it, delightful stone features throughout the gardens, and the lawns and mature shrubbery meander down to the main road level. The gardens have two beautiful copper beech trees and a beautiful willow tree. The home is principally built of stone beneath a pitched stone slate roof.
THE FIELD
The field, which measures approximately three acres, is located nearby and has been used by the family for many years for the family’s horses. It is in the family’s ownership and may be rented by the purchaser(s). Terms and conditions of this can be discussed at a later stage.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It should be noted that the property has gas fired central heating and double glazing. The property has underfloor heating within the family room/garden room. Carpets, curtains and certain other extras are available by separate negotiation.

OPTION ONE - MAJOR HOUSE EXTENSION
PLEASE NOTE OPTION ONE, MAJOR HOUSE EXTENSION We have had plans drawn by a local architect of high repute to convert the ground floor, and to add superbly to the first floor, to create a truly impressive home. Please see the latter pages of this brochure, pages 26 to 29, where the elevation and layout plans are illustrated. Please contact the Selling Agents regarding Option 2, the pulling down of the existing house, and creating one very large mega house, or, indeed, Option 3, pulling down the existing house and building four detached houses. Plans are available in a similar style and manner for your perusal.
OPTION TWO - THE PULLING DOWN OF THE EXISTING HOUS
We currently have on the market Stubbin View. The new house is a design drawn by a local architect of high repute which offers the facility, subject of course to the necessary consents, to build a mega house within the centre of this very large plot. The drawings demonstrate a magnificent accommodation over two levels which take full advantage of the contours of the site and the magnificent views across the valley. We would welcome discussions regarding alterations of these drawings and, of course, all would be subject to the necessary consents.
THE PROPOSED BUILD
The very large gardens and grounds enable the possibility of a mega house to be built in this elevated and impressive location. With fabulous southerly views, the new home without doubt requires planning consent, but would achieve a favourable review in the professional opinion of the retained architect, a local architect of high repute who has been kind enough to draw plans to demonstrate what could be built subject to the necessary consents. However, a more personal design could obviously be considered. The proposed layout has a fabulous sweeping driveway, passing the main facade into a rear courtyard giving access to the impressive accommodation. This includes an amazing open plan living dining kitchen, with glazing to both the front and rear, giving a stunning view out over the huge terrace and southerly views beyond. The living area is complemented by an adjoining large second sitting room/snug, and at the other end of the home there is a very large games/cinema room. With lockers, utility, downstairs w.c., secondary entrance lobby and boot room. There is also a personal door through to the property’s huge garage. The bedroom level has five fabulous bedrooms, all en-suited, with bedroom one having a stunning outlook and dressing room. Also at this level is a home office/possible home cinema and gym. With garden and grounds, and with a nearby field that can be purchased by separate negotiation, we ask you to consider the existing Stubbin View with the possibility of creating the mega house. Please note, it is possible to build the house itself whilst living in the existing house.
OPTION THREE - PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT SITE FOR FOUR
Square footage: 6740 including garage With lovely gardens and grounds, we currently have on offer a detached dwelling. Consideration should be given for a development site. This development site would, in the local architect’s opinion, achieve four very large homes and, due to the site contours, all four homes would enjoy fabulous views out over the gardens and grounds and long-distance views beyond. With close access to the bustling village of Denby Dale, these plots would be extremely saleable as, indeed, would the houses upon them if they were to be built to a high/appropriate standard. We are open to discussion regarding future option agreements to take the matter forward.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
