An internal inspection is absolutely essential to fully appreciate the magnificent accommodation provided, by Sapling Grove which includes the original grand entrance hall and sweeping staircase as well as the sumptuous Drawing Room and 5 bedrooms including the Master bedroom suite. The property has retained many Victorian period features and now provides a most comfortable and spacious family home with a mature lawned garden and double garage with gated driveway. The property is situated within this extremely convenient and desirable location providing excellent access to Halifax Town Centre, Savile Park and Skircoat Green as well as Manchester and Leeds via the excellent trans-Pennine road and rail links.
