Situated on the edge of the pretty Holme Valley village of Hade Edge is this three-bedroom family home, ideal for anyone who wants to be within easy reach of open countryside and close to reservoir walks.

Built about 25 years ago, the house at Green Abbey has been the home of Scott Newton and his family for the last 10 years.

Now he is looking for a slightly larger property but still within the Holme Valley area.

He said: “This is a proper good-sized family with very versatile accommodation and garden on three sides. It is in an ideal location for anyone working in Huddersfield, Manchester, Sheffield or nearby Penistone or Holmfirth as it is quite central.

“There are good shops just a few minutes drive away and access to local schools.’’

Scott, who has a waste management business in nearby Penistone, said the house is also ideally located for access to the M1 motorway network.

Outside the house at the front, there is a paved double driveway leading to a converted double garage and garden area. To the rear and side there are lawns and also a play house in the rear garden.

Inside the property is very versatile and is ideal for a growing family. With a double aspect spacious lounge with several windows and double doors leading through to the dining room, this room looks out over the garden.

Also on the ground floor is a spacious hallway, downstairs cloakroom, a utility room, dining room and a good sized breakfast kitchen with granite worktops and integrated appliances.

The house also has a useful garden room with a door out into the rear garden.

Upstairs the house has three good-sized bedrooms, including the master with en-suite which includes a double shower cubicle. There is also a house bathroom with four piece family bathroom.

One of the main features of this home is the converted double garage which has created a versatile family space while still retaining storage space in the front of the former garage.

With a door out into the back garden, this room could be used as a gym, office, playroom or extra sitting room to suit individual needs. This space really adds an extra dimension to this property and is a large area suitable for a range of uses.

Scott said: “The conversion has created a really useful area and given the property much more internal space. It’s ideal for a family who want to create a playroom or  extra living area.’’

Hade Edge is a popular local village, just a few minutes drive out of the centre of Holmfirth and surrounded by rolling countryside. With its own junior and infant school, Hade Edge provides an ideal local community for growing families.

Close to local reservoirs, it is ideal for walking and getting out into the local countryside.
