Situated on the edge of the Holme Valley, with views over Holmbridge parish church and cricket field, is this substantially extended family home.
Located in Dobb Top Road, the stone semi-detached house is the home of David and Val Wright, who are hoping to move to the North Norfolk coast where they plan to spend their time between their new home and a property in Spain.
Val said: “We are keen walkers and bird watchers so this area of Norfolk will suit us perfectly. Now we are both retired, we hope to spend more time in Spain and tour Europe.’’
Built in 1959 the property has views over Holmbridge to the front, Holme Moss to one side, Holmfirth and Hinchliffe Mill to the other side and the slopes of Holmfirth Vineyard at the back.
“It’s hard to believe there are grapes growing in a vineyard in the Holme Valley, right at the back of our house,’’ said Val.
The couple have lived at their Holme Valley property for around 15 years and, in more recent times have added an extension at the back, which has created much more space and given the upstairs rear bedroom a real ‘wow’ factor.
Downstairs the extension has created a larger kitchen/sun room and dining room but it is upstairs where the extension has made a real impact on the rear bedroom, which now has a seating/lounge area, ideal to use as a guest suite or for a teenager/student.
Downstairs a front porch leads into the spacious contemporary kitchen, fitted with a good range of units, larder cupboards, a central island and range cooker. At the rear is a sun room, which looks out over the rear garden.
The spacious lounge has an oak floor and tiled hearth with gas fire. This room is open to the dining room, which has French doors leading out to a patio fitted with a remote-controlled awning.
Upstairs the house has three bedrooms including a large master with open views to the front and the large bedroom to the rear, which also has built-in wardrobes and a seating/lounge area. The third bedroom is a single, currently set up as a study.
Also upstairs is a contemporary shower/wet room, which has under-floor heating, recessed spotlights and wall-mounted cabinets.
Outside the house has a low-maintenance garden to the rear with raised beds and a vegetable garden. There is also a patio where you can sit out and enjoy the sun in the garden, which faces south-west.
David and Val have recently landscaped the front garden and laid down a decking area, which again gets a good deal of sun.
The house also has a drive, which leads to a double garage.
Val said: “This is a great home but our needs have changed now and we really fancy finding a home in the area around Sheringham in Norfolk where we have enjoyed holidays.’’
This is a lovely family home, close to local amenities in Holmbridge and nearby Holmfirth, but which is right on the edge of open countryside and near the foot of Holme Moss, ideal for anyone who loves walking and being outdoors.
