Originally a farmhouse dating back to 1850, this quirky detached property at Outlane is tucked away in a quiet backwater.

Situated at Back Green, the stone-built house is currently the home of Sally Pickles who is hoping to move nearer to her family in Skipton, North Yorkshire.

Sally, who suffers from ME, is moving so she can be nearer her parents because of her condition.

She currently works part-time as a receptionist at Huddersfield solicitors Armitage Sykes.

Her house sits among a small group of individual houses tucked away from the main road through Outlane.

Sally said: “It’s ideal really because although these houses are away from the hustle and bustle but still close to local shops, post office, schools, pubs and restaurants. It is also ideal for anyone who commutes via the M62 motorway.’’

Full of character, this quirky property is ideal for someone who likes a house with charm and individuality.

Sally said: “Originally this property was the farmhouse and the former barn next door has been converted as well. With a low maintenance garden at the rear and two parking spaces, it has been a lovely home for me.’’

Since Sally moved in, she has done quite a lot of work to her home including fitting a new kitchen and contemporary bathroom.

Walk in downstairs via an entrance lobby which leads through into a dining kitchen which has been upgraded with Shaker style units, a Belfast sink and beech worktops.

On this level there is also a downstairs w.c. with tiled floor and underneath the house there is a cellar, ideal for storage.

House feature - Back Green, Outlane. Home of Sally Pickles

From the kitchen two steps lead up to the living room which looks out over the garden and has a timber fire surround. Off the living room is a study/porch leading to the garden but which is also in use as an office space.

Upstairs the house has three bedrooms including a good sized master bedroom which includes a shower cubicle.

The house bathroom has a real wow factor and includes a roll top slipper style bath with ball and claw feet as the central feature.

Outside the house has two parking spaces and a garden to the rear which has a decking area, ideal for sitting out in summer, and a small pond. The garden has been designed with pebbles instead of lawn to make it low maintenance.

“Being at Outlane, the house is between both Huddersfield and Halifax and has easy access to Elland, Brighouse etc. For anyone who like golf, Outlane Golf Club is just a few minutes away.

“It’s been a lovely home for me but I need to think about the future and my ME condition which is why I need to be nearer my family for support if I need it at any time.’’

This is a lovely quirky home which would suit a buyer who wants something a little different and a low maintenance garden.
