Built in 1924, this charming end-terrace house in Dalton is as pretty as a picture.

The home of Catherine Harper, who has lived at the property in Longfield Avenue for 20 years, has a cottage-style garden and is much more spacious inside than it first appears.

Catherine has put her house on the market and is hoping to move to North Wales, an area of the country of which she is particularly fond and where she would love to spend her retirement. Her house, which is the end of a terrace of five properties, is close to a bus route, local amenities and schools and would be ideal for a first-time buyer or single person.

An entrance vestibule with original pine door leads through into the lounge which has original floorboards, a fire surround with gas living flame fire, a picture rail and an original storage cupboard in the alcove.

The dining kitchen at the back of the property is surprisingly large and also has a traditional pantry and useful understairs storage area.

Fitted with a range of wall and base units and a range cooker, the kitchen also has a Butler-style sink.

A stable-style door leads out into the back garden.

Upstairs the house has two bedrooms and the house bathroom, which is fitted with a white suite and has a bath with shower over.

The master bedroom is very spacious and could be divided into two rooms (as some neighbouring properties have done) to create a third bedroom.

The bedroom has a traditional period fireplace and built-in wardrobes to provide plenty of storage. The second bedroom at the rear of the property is also a good size and would be ideal as a guest room or a child’s bedroom.

Longfield Avenue, Dalton, the home of Catherine Harper.

During her time at the property Catherine has made a lot of improvements including double glazing and new doors, back and front.

She said: “The house is really convenient for quick access in Huddersfield. It’s also near to Ravensknowle Park so ideal for anyone with children and is not that far from countryside, good for anyone who has dogs and enjoys walking.’’

Outside at the front the house has a pebbled driveway with parking for three cars and a small area of garden. At the back there is a small private low-maintenance garden with a seating area, decorative pebbles and slate, mature cottage-style shrubs and established fruit trees including apple, pear, cherry and plum. There is also a small area of garden to the side of the house.

Although the house is surrounded by other homes, the rear garden is quite private and a real suntrap.

This is a charming house with much to commend it, which would be an ideal purchase for someone looking to buy their first home. With off-road parking, traditional features including original inner doors and a low-maintenance garden, this property is worth a look for anyone wanting a home in this part of town.
