Scotgate Road, Honley, Holmfirth, HD9

If you are in the market for a "stand out" detached house, suited to both professionals and families, then this property might be where you belong.

One of a pair of houses built by a local builder of excellent reputation, 17 Scotgate Road is certainly worthy of a personal inspection.

You'll be welcomed into a generous reception hall which has an oak and glass staircase rising to the first floor with a galleried landing over. 

The ground floor enjoys underfloor heating, and on this level one will find an expansive contemporary living dining kitchen, something that many buyers aspire to have these days.  You'll have the ability to cook, dine and relax in one large space, that flows out onto the rear patio via bi-fold doors, which in turn has an awning (installed by Roché) to offer some shade on hot summer days.

The kitchen is a Siematic kitchen, with Neff appliances, designed and installed by Stuart Frazer of Prestwich. 

There is an integrated electric oven, hob and stylish cooker hood, complete with an integrated fridge freezer, and dishwasher as well as Corian worktops and an island unit for informal dining.  In addition, there is a lovely walk-in pantry and a very useful utility room with a side entrance and storage to match the kitchen.

At the front of the house is a reception room, presently used as a home office by our client, with fitted bookshelves and cabinets.  This room was intended to be a ground floor bedroom originally, but would make a suitable sitting room also.  From the hallway one has access to the ground floor w.c., and the integral garage which has a remote control garage door.

The first floor is a delight.   A contemporary landing with oak and glazed balustrading, the landing leads to two generous double bedrooms (each with fitted wardrobes - all the fitted bedroom furniture was designed, manufactured and installed by Sharps), one of which has an attractive en-suite shower room, and there is a generous and stylish family bathroom too, complete with a separate shower.

Also on the first floor is a lounge.  The lounge has exposed oak framing, and patio doors leading out onto the balcony at the front of the property.   This beautiful relaxing room could be re-purposed as a bedroom if required.

Stairs rise again to the second floor, where one will find a master suite.   The bedroom has a glazed balcony overlooking the lounge on the first floor.  Walk through the dressing area which is fitted with a range of wardrobes, and one enters the spacious ensuite shower room which benefits from a large walk-in shower and well chosen tiling.

In general, the property offers a level of quality and flexibility not usually associated with modern homes.  

The house has a combination of gas central heating and underfloor heating.  It has double glazing and a burglar alarm system.

The property has attractive lawned gardens to the front and rear, a driveway for parking and a variety of plantings, including established trees and shrubs with year-round colour.

Honley is an excellent village.  It has schooling for children of all ages, a wide variety of shops and independent businesses, lots of places to eat out and socialise, and some lovely local walks and scenery including Honley Woods and Magdale.  

There really is something for everyone.  There are sports and social clubs, places of worship, and even a local library.

Business travellers will appreciate the road networks, as Honley is around 24 miles from Leeds, Manchester and Sheffield.  There is also a local railway station connecting to Huddersfield and Sheffield.  Huddersfield and Holmfirth are around 15 minutes away by car.

In all, this is a wonderful detached stone built house in a much sought after locale.

The essentials:  The house is Freehold.  Council Tax band G.  Mains services are available.  The house is not adapted for disabled living.  There are a variety of broadband and mobile phone suppliers in the area.
