Terraced house for sale in Springhead Lane, Marsden, Huddersfield HD7

This gorgeous 3 bedroomed stone built cottage occupies a fantastic rural setting high upon the hillside above Marsden on the ‘sunny’ side of the valley. It is steeped in history having formed part of the original farm within the small rural hamlet known as ‘Dirker’ and a local history group have traced records of ‘Dirker’ back well over 200 years with further evidence suggesting people were residing at ‘Dirker’ in the 1600s. The property is full of character and charm with some superb views towards Deer Hill and the Wessenden Moor. Externally, there is a small stone flagged yard at the rear, whilst at the front, there is a lovely cottage garden. It is only a short drive (or walk down the footpath) to the village centre which offers an array of shops, cafes, bars, restaurants, train station, and a regular bus service.
