Want to cut your carbon footprint and adopt an environmentally friendly lifestyle?

Then this house at Wilberlee, Slaithwaite , could be the one for you.

Sunnydale, which is just a few minutes from Wilberlee Junior and Infants School, sits high above Slaithwaite and is a south-facing individually
designed property that has been the home of Pat Ashton for almost 30 years.

With almost an acre of garden, including a vegetable plot, fruit bushes and trees, it is ideal for anyone who enjoys growing their own vegetables and wants to live the ‘good life’.

Ideal too for anyone who is interested in ‘going green’, this house is fitted with an energy efficient heating system, which includes solar/photovoltaic panels.

Pat said: “For over 10 years I used to keep bees here at Sunnydale and this house is ideal for someone who wants to keep chickens,’’ said Pat.

“After living in the Pennines most of my life, I now fancy moving to the coast and intend to go to Northumberland once the house is sold. I particularly love the area around Alnwick.’’

Sunnydale sits in the hamlet of Wilberlee and has far-reaching views towards Meltham. It is a deceptively spacious four-bedroom house which sits in the middle of a plot that is home to a large garage/workshop and is divided into various sections.

Beyond the gated driveway there is ample
off -road parking for several vehicles.

Downstairs the property is spacious and welcoming with an entrance porch leading into the hallway, which has a wooden staircase to the first-floor and a useful storage cupboard, ideal for coats.

The dining kitchen is open-plan with the cooking facilities at one end and a sitting/living room at the other.

The kitchen has a range of units and large windows, which look out over far-reaching countryside views and the living room has a wood burning stove.

A useful utility area is situated off the kitchen and this also leads to the side entrance.

Another wood burning stove is found in the main lounge which is a spacious room with wooden flooring. Another area from which to enjoy the view is the conservatory, which has a tiled floor, three Velux windows and a French door giving access to the garden.

Also on the ground-floor is a bathroom and a further reception room, which is currently set up as a study but which could easily be transformed into an additional bedroom. Together with the bathroom, this would create a guest suite or ideal space for an elderly relative.

Upstairs a spacious landing with double fitted wardrobes leads to four bedrooms, one of which is set up as a playroom/study.

There is also a shower room with shower cubicle, pine-clad walls and a door leading to another unique feature, a fully fitted electric sauna.

This is a unique home right on the edge of
rural countryside yet within easy reach of the local school and all the facilities of Slaithwaite, including the railway station, shops and the Huddersfield Narrow Canal.

The property is being marketed by Boultons estate agents 01484 515029.
