The perfect place to raise a family is what Julie Lawton says of her house in New Road, Holmfirth.
Julie, who has lived with her family in the property for the last 12 years, moved to the house because of its proximity to Holmfirth High School.
“It’s a great location, you can walk to the local schools and into Holmfirth village.”
The property is a blend of contemporary and period features and is situated on an individual plot of about a quarter of an acre with gardens to three sides.
Built in the 1930s, 10 New Road has been refurbished and extended by Julie and her family.
Julie said, “It’s lovely and secluded here; when we moved in we closed off the entrance that opened out on to New Road, so now the property is only accessed via a private lane.
“We’ll be sad to leave, but now that the children have grown up and moved out it’s just me and my husband rattling around.
“We’re looking for somewhere new that can be a bit of a project for us, too. We’ll definitely be sad to see the house go, we’ve spent so many happy years here and have some really great memories.”
The property feels cosy while still offering an abundance of space, making it ideal for a growing family.
The lounge is features a fireplace and a gas log burner.
A second reception room offers additional living space and has patio doors to the rear garden and porch.
The spacious kitchen is a great place for an aspiring Mary Berry or Paul Hollywood to hone their culinary skills, with a handy utility room off.
Upstairs the house has six bedrooms, one currently utilised as a study with a built-in desk and shelving; a family bathroom and an additional shower room to help reduce those early morning bathroom queues.

Two of the bedrooms have Victorian fireplaces and all have large windows allowing natural light to flood in.
A purpose-built porch brings the outdoors in, while the decked area benefits from heating, power and lighting, making it a wonderful spot for dining or entertaining.
Julie said, “I love gardening, I really enjoy being out in the gardens here and pottering around. There are gardens to three sides of the property, so it’s been a really fun project to work on them.”
And all of Julie’s hard work has paid off as the garden areas are a real property highlight with lawned areas, flower beds and borders packed with established trees, shrubs and plants.
