If you’re looking for a large family home and want the `wow’ factor, then this five bedroom detached house at Jackson Bridge could be a real contender.
Situated at Leas Gardens, half way between Jackson Bridge and the village of Scholes, Sycamore Cottage has numerous rooms, both upstairs and down, stunning outdoor entertaining space and sits in a lovely private position.
The property is located within the parkland style grounds of Leas Gardens, an 11-acre development of properties which include gardens, meadow and a tennis court. Because of the location and outdoor space, it is a safe and secure area for children to play out and enjoy a traditional childhood.
The property is among several new houses built within the grounds of the former Leas Gardens children’s home, which has been converted into private residential accommodation.
Current owners Steve and Sam Kelly, who have five children, are testament to this great family home.
Sam said: “It’s great for children. As a community, we always have a summer barbecue and an event on Bonfire Night on our ‘village green’. It’s been a lovely home for us but now we’re looking to buy a barn, still within the same local area.’’
The Kelly family have lived at Leas Gardens for around 10 years, during which time they have made numerous improvements to the property including a conversion of the former double garage, which has been changed into a play/entertainment room with a guest suite above, and have also added a large garden room which has bi-folding doors opening onto the large patio area.
The house also has an old red telephone box by the gate which is a real unique feature. Dating back to 1927, the couple had the chance to buy it some years ago and make it a feature of their home.
Downstairs the home has a spacious entrance hall with a downstairs lavatory, a cloakroom and office leading off. Also on this floor is a large living room, light and airy large garden room, a dining room (which is currently set up as a bedroom), a large dining kitchen with a central island, stylish wall and base units and integrated appliances. A separate utility room leads off the kitchen.
At the far end of the house, the garage conversion is now a great space for all the family to enjoy, but is perfect for teenagers/children to use as a playroom or den.
Upstairs the property has more bedrooms including a guest suite built over the former garage, a master bedroom with en-suite, a separate dressing room and a stylish and contemporary house bathroom with corner bath and large shower cubicle.
Because of the garage conversion and new guest suite, the house has two staircases , one at each end of the property.
Outside the house has a real `wow’ factor with a large garden including a summer house, large patio with a 26ft parasol along with a further patio with a hot tub.
Sam said: “We’ve loved this house and it’s a been a great party house. The children have loved it here because of the unique setting and the private location. It’s really quiet and peaceful but still close to all amenities.’’
This is a magnificent family home which has to be seen to be fully appreciated. Close to local villages, Holmfirth and local schools, it is also perfect for anyone who enjoys being on the edge of open countryside and likes being in the great outdoors.
This house offers everything a large family could ever need and is in a unique location on the edge of the Holme Valley.
