About 10 The Heys
This house is set within a distinctive row of properties which date back to the latter end of the Georgian period. It is of traditional stone-built construction beneath a stone slate roof; the front elevation being rendered in keeping with the period of the property. The Heys is located just off Heys Road, near to Holmfirth High School and enjoys pleasant far-reaching views over the Holme Valley and beyond.
To the rear is the private drive to the Heys and the garage. There is a good sized fully glazed conservatory leading to a large, decked area and pleasant walled garden. Beyond is a further quarter of an acre plot of garden which was once a lawned tennis court. This provides a wonderful space for garden lovers or simply a versatile area for family and friends to enjoy.
Internally, the day-to-day entrance to the property is from the rear – a door leads into the hallway which features stone flagged flooring with underfloor heating. The dining kitchen is located at the rear of the building and features a gas fired Aga, modern fittings, granite work surfaces and a continuation of the underfloor heated stone flooring. The hallway extends to the front and features a period staircase to the first floor. The 2 reception rooms are positioned to either side of the hall, the largest being the lounge and the other is a more flexible space currently used as a reading and music room. Both feature original coved ceilings and fireplaces. There is also access to the cellar from the hall and a large, glazed conservatory on the front of the building.
Moving upstairs, original features are again to be found in the wooden floorboards, balustrade around the stairs and coved ceiling. There are 3 double bedrooms all of which feature period cast iron fireplaces. A 4th single bedroom and large house bathroom are also to be found on this floor with potential for an en-suite to the 3rd bedroom.
The property has been home to our clients since 1997 and whilst they have made various improvements the house retains its traditional period feel. There is a gas central heating system combi boiler, electric underfloor heating to part of the ground floor and bathroom, uPVC double glazing and modern fixtures and fittings.
The row of properties is located down a private shared driveway from Heys Road and there is a large single garage within a row located across from the house. Additional informal parking is also possible here providing access is allowed for the other Heys homes. The first garden area is located to the front of the house and features a large timber decked seating area enjoying views with lawn and mature borders beyond. At the bottom of the first garden is a grassed path to the lower garden. Beyond this is an additional large 0.24-acre garden plot which was formerly a lawned tennis court and even features the original pavilion which was used by our client’s children as a playhouse when growing up.
Properties of this nature are rare on the market and if you are searching for an older period home with private gardens that blend modern living whilst maintaining period character we would certainly recommend that you book a viewing.
