The kitchen is equipped with new appliances, including a gas hob, oven, and extractor fan. Ample cupboard storage, a washing machine or washer dryer space, and a corner nook that could be transformed into a pantry or utility space enhance the kitchen’s functionality.
The staircase leads to a spacious first-floor landing, where natural light flows through the large window. The high ceilings and neutral woollen carpet create an airy, open space. The landing wraps around, offering additional storage for a bookshelf, towels, or linens, with easy access to the loft.
The principal bedroom is a bright and spacious retreat, featuring neutral woven wool carpeting and light, calming walls. With ample room for a super king-sized bed, there’s also plenty of space for wardrobes and a dressing table. A large window overlooks the front garden, offering stunning views and natural light that enhances the peaceful atmosphere. The direct access to the Kirklees Trail adds to the appeal, providing a beautiful natural backdrop and a handy walk with dogs.

The room’s high ceilings and double-glazed window provides a comfortable and airy feel. Overlooking the rear patio, this room could easily be adapted to suit various needs, whether as a nursery, guest room, or home office.
The family bathroom combines sleek, stylish design with everyday practicality. Finished with stone-coloured floor tiles and high-gloss matching wall tiles, the space is modern and inviting. A walk-in shower, sink, and toilet provide everything you need for daily use, while the speckled quartz worktop, mimicking the texture of sand, adds a touch of sophistication. A white towel rail completes the design, and a large window ensures natural light fills the room, creating a bright and welcoming space.
The rear garden is a tranquil haven, offering a low-maintenance, stone-walled retreat. The paved area, complemented by painted fences and raised levels, creates a beautiful outdoor space perfect for both relaxing and entertaining.
