About The Area - About the area are as follows:
This stunning hidden gemis set within this Woodlands development boasts beautiful, well-manicured grounds with woodland and patio areas approx. 7-8 acres in total. There is a remotely controlled gated driveway leading to the development, two allocated parking spaces and ample visitors parking. Set on the fringes of the Peak District National Park, fantastic commuter links to the surrounding countrysides and the Motorway.
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 8 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.
