About Thorp Heys
We understand that the original part of the property dates back to the early 1800’s, with a subsequent extension and refurbishment circa 1910. Its lower floor is of stone built construction with the upper levels rendered with feature timbers in the “Tudor revival” style which was popular at the time. The interior of the building also bears many features of this period and it is clear that it went through a scheme of updating at that time on commission from the Bamforth family who played an important part in Holmfirth’s history at that time for their pioneering role in film making and also their popular seaside postcards.
Our client purchased the property in 2009 and has carried out extensive renovations to the property whilst taking care to retain the period feel of the building. These works include combining the kitchen and dining room to make a large dining kitchen, upgrading the gas central heating system, installation of tasteful double glazing to much of the building, updating kitchen and bathroom fittings, adding a porch to the front, building a new double garage and creating additional parking areas.
The property is entered at the front via the entrance porch which in turn opens into the hall. This features an impressive staircase to the first floor in the Arts and Crafts style with heart shaped cut-outs to the upright panels. To the right hand side of the hall is the lounge which is of a good size with a open fireplace and tall window overlooking the garden. To the other side is the dining kitchen which features a superb period fireplace and an excellent range of fitted units. There is also a stable door out to the rear of the house.
On the first floor there is a landing area with glazed door out onto a small terraced seating area – the perfect spot to enjoy the views. There are 3 bedroom on this floor, 2 being doubles and the 3rd is a large single room. There is also a bathroom and separate WC – both with modern fittings. There are 2 further bedrooms on the top floor, 1 is a double room whilst the other is a single, currently used as an office.
The property sits within a 0.25 acre (approx.) plot which is predominantly to the front of the building and features lawns over 2 levels, borders with shrubs and bushes, mature trees and a path with gateway leading down to Back Lane. At the rear of the house the property enjoys a right of access along the rear of the 3 other properties within this block. This leads to a block paved parking area with space for 2 vehicles immediately adjacent to the house. Opposite this is a further graveled parking area, stone built detached double garage with a further garden lawned garden area behind.
