The sale of this week’s Our House is tinged with both sadness and happiness.

Located in the popular area of Upper Cumberworth, the house at Carr Hill Road is being sold by Caroline Draper who is looking ahead to her forthcoming wedding in October to partner Jake Smith.

She said: “This house was bought as new by my late parents when it was built almost 20 years ago so it is quite a wrench to sell it. We initially moved to this area from Peterborough because of my dad’s job. Once the house is sold, Jake and I will start looking for a new home to start our married life, so it’s a move which is sad but which is also helping us to move forward and find a marital home together.’’

The couple are both strongly connected to Longley Park Golf Club as Jake is the steward and Caroline takes care of in-house catering for the club’s many events and functions.

The five-bedroom detached stone built property is ideally situated for anyone who wants to commute via the M1 or by train with a station at nearby Denby Dale.

Close to local shops and schools, it has stunning views towards Emley Moor mast and is perfect for anyone who also wants to be near to open countryside.
