About Slate Pitts Farm
The property enjoys a superb rural position off Chain Road approximately 1 mile from the centre of Slaithwaite and is also in easy reach of the village centres of Meltham and Marsden. The main property is a modest stonebuilt home which would benefit from modernisation. Attached to the side of the house you will find 2 large garages and at the rear there is a further large workshop which we understand was formerly a chapel.

It sits within a generous plot which extends to approximately 1.22 acres which includes generous parking, gardens and further outbuildings which include a former Dutch barn with curved roof which has been converted into a games room / bar. A certificate of lawfulness was granted in 1995 for the use of the land as a haulage contractors.

The existing house features a garden room / entrance porch to the front with access to the lounge and inner hall which features a staircase to the first floor. The house bathroom is also found within this section. Beyond here is a further area of the house which is positioned behind the attached garages. This features a dining room, kitchen and conservatorys to either side. Upstairs there is a landing area and 3 bedrooms. Bedroom 1 has an en-suite shower room.

We anticipate that the purchaser will look to extensively renovate the existing and at the same time redevelop the adjoining outbuildings whether this be by way of conversion or replacing with a more contemporary extension. It should be stressed that this would all require the necessary planning permission and building regulations consents.

The property is accessed via a driveway from Chain Road which leads to a large parking area with access into the garages and down the side of the building where there is a further yard area with inspection pit (currently grassed over) and then another grassed area beyond with a range of smaller sheds. To the side of the workshop is the dutch barn / games room. There is small garden to the front of the house and a larger garden at the side. Beyond this is a further small paddock of land.

It is rare to find properties which offer the combination of grounds and location with such potential and this unique home must be viewed to be fully appreciated.<br /><br />
