Sike Close, Totties, Holmfirth, HD9

Glance out of the front windows and you will see Emley Moor Mast in the distance, stand a while at the rear windows and you will be taken in by the gorgeous view over neighbouring countryside.

Spend some time wandering around the garden and you will appreciate the privacy, the mature trees and plantings and the numerous possibilities for those who enjoy gardening and the great outdoors.  With local country walks and scenery on the doorstep, Totties is just far enough out of Holmfirth to enjoy the rural lifestyle so many crave, but close enough for it to benefit from the vibrancy of the town itself, local schooling for children of all ages, and even a garden centre or two.

Business travellers will appreciate the road links to Lancashire, Derbyshire and Yorkshire, taking in Manchester, Sheffield, Huddersfield and the M1 motorway network.

The garden is a delight; a rare asset that few modern homes enjoy.  Our clients purchased some additional land from a neighbour, and now have a haven for wildlife (they even have their own chickens0, brilliant for little ones who enjoy a game of hide and seek, and perfect for grown-ups who enjoy al-fresco dining, as the rear garden is in full sun.

The house itself is a lovely looking stone built detached family home.  Situated in a small cul-de-sac within a conservation area and the greenbelt, the house is set amongst other stone built houses on the edge of the hamlet of Totties, a stones throw from Scholes.

The property has timber framed double glazing, a gas central heating system and a burglar alarm.  The garage has a remote control garage door.

The layout can be fully appreciated by glancing at our floorplans, watching our walk-around video and looking through our 3D tour. However some highlights are as follows:-

Greet your guests via the front vestibule, but on a daily basis you may choose to enter via the fabulously useful Utility/Boot Room which has an excellent Walk-in Pantry and easy access to the Double Garage.

There is a beautiful Fitted Kitchen which provides for informal dining on the large peninsular unit, and also boasts a gas-fired Aga as depicted in our images.  The kitchen opens into a spacious rear Sitting Room that flows out onto the rear garden - a set up that is sought after by many - dine, socialise, cook and relax all in one interactive and connected space.
