Description
A wide fronted and deceptively spacious detached house standing in this prestigious location just a little over a mile south east of Huddersfield on rising ground, thus commanding panoramic woodland views. Of contemporary design, a property which must be inspected internally to fully appreciate. An individual property architect designed in 1960 by Geoffrey Walton with a hint of Scandinavian modernism and enjoying a mature garden with an abundance of wild flowers, fruit trees and various sitting areas. Hall, open-plan lounge through to the dining room and on to the large conservatory, study and fitted kitchen with utility room off, cloakroom. The upper floor provides entrance hall, 4 bedrooms, bathroom, separate wc, one of the bedrooms enjoying direct access onto the balcony with extensive views. Take a walk in the natural garden principally to the rear of this innovative property, a sheltered haven yet barely a mile from the town centre and University campus. Central heating, double glazed to several picture and landscape windows.



The accommodation is laid out over 2 floors with the upper floor accessed from Foxglove Road providing the bedroom accommodation, then take the central timber staircase down onto the ground level below and the extensive mainly open-plan reception accommodation.
