Kettle Lane, HD7 5XB

ABOUT 3 BOOTH A most enviable family residence tucked away in the little known semi-rural area of ‘Booth’, which sits just above the canal at Lock No.31 and the Grade II listed ‘Booths Bridge’. Not much is known about its history prior to the current owners purchasing the properties and outbuildings from the Dartmouth Estate back in 2012, however, the buildings do appear on an old Victorian map dated 1894. The owners then set about the mammoth task of renovating and restoring the cottages and creating one superb family residence with no expense spared in the process. It retains some original features including stone mullioned windows and exposed roof timbers. The extensive accommodation briefly comprises to the ground floor:- entrance hall, inner hall, guest w.c., a huge kitchen/dining/living space with fitted bar area, snug, utility room, cinema room, store/boot room, boiler room/store, and bedroom 6 with en suite shower room. On the first floor you will find a split-level landing, principal bedroom with nursery/dressing room and en suite bathroom, 2 further bedrooms, and bathroom. At second floor level there is another bathroom, and 2 more double bedrooms, both of which have access up to their own spacious den. It has double glazing and under floor heating throughout. Externally, you will find a large parking area with capacity to take several vehicles. There is a block of outbuildings which comprise garaging, storeroom, open store area, and gardens rooms which have been adapted for various uses. The gardens and grounds are expansive and offer various places to sit out, entertain, and eat al fresco. Gates lead on into the paddock and access to a more private garden in front of the garden rooms. The whole site amounts to approximately 1.2 acres. If you can tear yourself away from the comfort of this wonderful countryside retreat, there are a good variety of shops, bars, restaurants, and train station in both the nearby villages of Slaithwaite and Marsden, both of which are just a short drive away or perhaps get onto the canal towpath and take a pleasant walk to either village.
