About Wychwood
The property is originally believed to have been built in the 1960s as a dormer bungalow. Our clients purchased it in 2006 and carried out extensive remodeling of the internal and external layout to create a contemporary downstairs space with a wonderful flow between the rooms and an oak framed garden room extension to the side. The building is now mostly faced in reclaimed natural stone providing an aesthetically appealing appearance.

The main entrance to the property is at the side where there is a door from the driveway into the spacious entrance hall. Straight ahead from here you will find the large lounge which has a set of 5 panel folding doors opening to the gardens and a log burning stove. Glazed double doors open into the living / dining space which is open plan to the kitchen and a further broad opening leads through into the oak framed garden room. Also on this floor you will find a study, downstairs wc and a small garden room (potentially another study) which links the house to the attached garage.

On the upper floor you will find 4 bedrooms, 3 of which are double rooms and the 4th is a good sized single room. There is superb family bathroom with free standing bath and also an en-suite shower to the principal bedroom. Being within the roof space each have angled ceilings which provide character without restricting the useable floorspace.

The property is well maintained throughout and features wooden framed double glazed windows throughout, gas central heating and quality modern fittings. There are solar panels on roof used to heat the water. There is further potential to enlarge the property into the large attached garage and workshop space, in particular if lateral living accommodation is required for a family member. Alternatively this space could be converted to a studio space or simply remain as a workshop.

Externally there is a generous driveway parking area running up to the garage and the rear main entrance. The gardens wrap around on 3 sides and include generous lawned areas with mature borders and trees.

The property is conveniently located for the village amenities with the village school, pre-school, church and cricket field all just a short walk away. There is also a well stocked village shop and popular pub at the other end of the village. The busy market town of Holmfirth is also approximately 1.5 miles away and provides an excellent selection of amenities.<br /><br />
