This individual detached cottage is believed by our clients to date back to the late 1800s with an additional section added to the side in the early 1900s. It is of traditional stone built construction beneath a pitched stone slate roof. The property originally formed part of the adjacent Dobroyd Mill complex and was known as the “Clog ‘Oyl” before being transferred to private ownership in the in 1930s.
It’s spacious and flexible accommodation is entered via a porch to the front which in turn leads into the hallway with stairs to the first floor. At either side of the hallway you will find a snug / sitting room and dining room with oak flooring. From the dining room a door leads through to the lounge which again has oak flooring and opens into the pleasant garden room.
Moving through to the rear of the house, you will find a rear entrance hall which is of good proportions and features a utility room and WC off it. Finally there is a generous dining kitchen with an excellent range of fitted units with solid wooden work surfaces.
Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms which all accommodate double beds. Bedroom 1 has en-suite shower and wc facilities along with a walk in wardrobe. The other 3 rooms are served by a generous house bathroom.
The interior of the property is well presented, retaining character features which are complimented by good quality modern fixtures and fittings. It has a gas central heating system and mostly uPVC double glazed windows.
Beneath the property there is a series of cellar rooms, currently used for storage and as a workshop. These rooms are accessible via a door to the side of the building and offer further scope for the next owner to repurpose to their own needs.
Externally, there property is accessed via a gated tarmac driveway which leads along the front and side of the house providing generous parking provision. There is a stone built double garage and also a triple car port – this would be an ideal property for a car enthusiast. A pleasant lawned garden with paved seating areas and well stocked borders sits in front of the house and there are further mature borders to the other side of the driveway along with a wooded banking providing a pleasant backdrop.
