About Briar Royd
This individual detached house began life as a double fronted dwelling with 2 reception rooms and a small kitchen. It has been extended on a number of occasions to either side in order to create the impressive family home that you see today. Whilst the half stone, half rendered exterior reflects the 1930s when it was originally built, the interior is very much in tune with the demands of modern living.
The front door enters into the main hallway, which features the original 1930s wooden staircase to the first floor and engineered wood flooring. To the right-hand side of the hall is the generously proportioned living room, featuring a bay window to the front and a log-burning stove on the rear wall. This is currently used a comfortable seating / reading area, whilst the other end of the room hosts our client’s TV and comfy sofas.
To the other side of the hall you will find the dining room which also features a bay window to the front and log burning stove. A door from here leads into the spacious, well-appointed living kitchen with features an excellent range of built in units with painted wooden doors and a matching island unit with breakfast bar. Glazed bi-folding doors are placed at the end of the room and enjoy views up towards Holme Moss.
The utility room (which was the original kitchen) is located at the rear of the property. It features quality built-in cupboards, offering ample storage space, and the original range stove. There is also a large walk-in storage cupboard beside the back door, which opens onto the attractive back gardens.
Stairs lead from the hall to the first floor landing which extends along to the principal bedroom. This is of excellent proportions and features a window to the side enjoying beautiful views to Holme Moss and beyond. It has its own en-suite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms and two single bedrooms which are both currently used as studies. There is also a large house bathroom with a quality modern suite.
The property is well presented throughout and features good quality fittings, uPVC double glazing and engineered wood flooring throughout most of the ground floor. It has a recently installed (2022) air source central heating system. Externally there are large grounds offering great potential for the next owner to enjoy whether this be gardening, space for children and pets to play or possibly to keep chickens and other smaller livestock. A driveway leads up between two other properties to provide access to a further private driveway which in turn leads to a generous parking area and a detached double garage. Above this is a large grassed area which continues behind the house. A further seating area can be found at the front of the house.
It enjoys a pleasant position on the outskirts of Holmfirth, just before reaching the village of Hinchliffe Mill, set back from and above Woodhead Road. It enjoys fantastic views both to the front and sides, and has a particularly bright and sunny aspect, being oriented south-east. It is approximately 1 mile from the centre of the town and its many amenities whilst being well placed for access to open countryside.
