ABOUT 7 THE WOODLANDS
The Woodlands was originally built circa 1871 as Meltham Mills Convalescent Home, commissioned by the local Philanthropist Charles Brook. Brook was one of local mill owning family and also built the nearby Pleasure Grounds and Bank Buildings. It is built in the Gothic style with grand arched windows, distinctive rooflines and a magnificent tall tower which sits above the apartment which we are marketing.
It was repurposed after the second world war becoming a School before eventually being converted to residential use in the late 1990s. There are 8 apartments in total and 4 houses. The properties enjoy a gated driveway from Royd Road which leads up to a parking area in front of the building where there are allocated spaces for each apartment (Number 7 has 2 spaces) and additional visitors parking. Surrounding the properties there are delightful communal gardens, predominantly to the rear of the house with mature woodland around the perimeter – the total grounds being approximately 7.6 acres.
The apartment is accessed through a shared entrance hall, beneath a sheltered archway. Stairs lead up to a first floor landing which is shared with 3 other properties. From here a door leads through into the spacious entrance hall with its almost 11' high ceilings and recessed Gothic arches into the walls. To the right hand side of the hallway you will find a good sized lounge and dining room which are partially open plan to one another with a central chimney breast acting as a partition. Off the dining room, there is also a further office / study area. The kitchen is positioned at the end of the hallway and features windows on 3 sides. There is also a house bathroom, 2 double bedrooms (with fitted furniture) and an en-suite shower room to bedroom 1.
Our clients have owned the property since 2003, it is well maintained and presented to a good standard with gas central heating, double glazed windows and good quality fittings throughout. It is held on the remainder of a 999 year lease (since 2001) with the owners of each property in the complex owning a share of the freehold. There is no chain involved with this sale as the owners have already secured an onward purchase.
