Prepare to be captivated by this extraordinary Edwardian family home. Built in 1905, this former vicarage is a treasure trove of history and is adorned with intricate period features. Situated in the highly coveted Woodhouse area of Brighouse, this home is a rare find.
A curved path sweeps through the front lawn, leading to the entrance of this magnificent home. The door reveals parquet flooring and sophisticated decor in muted Farrow & Ball colours.
The dining room, with its original wooden flooring, ornate plasterwork and high skirting boards, is a spacious and elegant space for hosting dinner parties. The intriguing curved walls and bay window fill the room with light, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere for entertaining.
The living room also has ornate plasterwork and a bespoke stone fireplace surround housing a gas-fired stove. Draw the curtains and light the fire for a cosy evening.
Wooden shaker-style units in the muted Fresh Linen colour are topped by oak worktops. A central island has space for casual seating, making this kitchen area a sociable area where the whole family can gather. There is a double sink unit with an instant boiling water tap so that those refreshing cups of Yorkshire Tea can be made in a flash. There is also an integrated fridge, freezer, dishwasher, microwave and double electric ovens – all appliances you need to prepare gourmet meals, and two wine chillers to keep your favourite tipple at the perfect temperature. The Broseley stove is configured to allow an option to heat some of the ground floor radiators, which is an excellent function in reducing your utility bills when the fire is lit.
The utility room has fitted units providing excellent storage and space for a washing machine.
There is also an excellent cellar for storage on the lower ground floor.
Almost spanning the rear of the home, the conservatory provides a great connection to the outside space and gardens. Enjoy your morning coffee in the conservatory, watching the birds come and go before your day begins.
The cloakroom has a WC and wash hand basin in a vanity unit.
Ascend to the first floor, where you’ll discover the delightful principal bedroom. A serene retreat after a bustling day, this generously proportioned bedroom features a charming fireplace and an en-suite shower room with a corner shower cubicle and wash hand basin.
The second bedroom is another large bedroom with built-in wardrobes. There is a third double bedroom and a study on this floor, ideal for closing yourself off from the rest of the home for some quiet focus time. Position your desk before the window to watch the world go by.
The house bathroom has a corner bath, WC and wash hand basin in a vanity unit. Soak away the day in an indulgent bubble bath.
Climb the stairs again, bathed in colourful, dappled light from the stained glass in the picture window, before you reach the second-floor landing, a spacious area that would accommodate a comfortable armchair for a quiet reading nook.
You will find 3 bedrooms tucked into the home’s eaves with decent head height on this floor. There are Velux windows to fill the space with light and windows that have lovely views over the rooftops.
The modern shower room has a large level walk-in shower with a glass screen, a WC and a wash hand basin within a vanity unit.
The top floor presents an excellent opportunity for a relative or older child to have their own space, making this home perfect for multi-generational living.
The front garden is surrounded by mature trees and shrubs, creating privacy and shielding the home from the road.
The rear garden faces westerly and gets the sun from mid-morning right through to the sunsets in the evening. Open the French doors from the conservatory to the stone-flagged patio area to enjoy the summer sun or an alfresco meal on the raised patio dining space, with a sheltered corner ideal for the BBQ or pizza oven. The outdoor space is sociable, great for garden parties and safe for children to play.
A large double garage behind the property is accessed by a private road, and an additional off-road parking area would comfortably fit several vehicles.
