Additional text is available below.The exterior is particularly eye catching, with decorative timber styling and carved stone lintels giving the property a strong sense of presence from the roadside. Internally, generous proportions and original features run throughout, including high ceilings, ceiling coving, a spindled staircase and large windows.
The property opens into an entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor and further steps leading down to a spacious cellar which provides useful storage space. To one side of the hallway is the main living room, a well proportioned reception space with flexibility for a range of furniture layouts. On the opposite side is a second reception room, previously a dining room and now arranged as a work from home and cinema room. This second room reflects the building’s former commercial use as a post office and newsagents.
Positioned between the two reception rooms is the kitchen, fitted with a range of wall and base units along with plumbing for a washing machine and a point for a cooker. A door leads out to the rear yard.
The first floor includes four well sized bedrooms. The principal bedroom has built in wardrobes and storage cupboards which house the modern combination boiler. Bedroom two is another double with windows to two elevations, bedroom three is a smaller double, and bedroom four is an L shaped single with storage over the bulkhead. The bathroom benefits from a light tunnel providing natural light, and there is also a separate WC from the landing.
Outside, a walled and flagged path leads through the small front garden to the entrance door. At the rear is an enclosed yard with an outhouse and additional space running along the side of the property for storage and bins.
Positioned on the main road in Glusburn close to the Institute and within walking distance of Glusburn Primary School and Cross Hills village amenities, this substantial home offers excellent space and character.
