4 bed detached house for sale

Abbey Road, Shepley, Hudedersfield HD8

A rare opportunity to purchase this unique Victorian detached property set within approximately one third of an acre of grounds. It is built in local stone beneath a rosemary tiled roof and features a wealth of period details, whilst offering the scope for the next owner to renovate and redesign to their own tastes.

About Wyndhurst
This much loved family home has been within the same family ownership since 1965. It was originally built circa 1885 and constructed in “Shepley Blue” stone from the local Sovereign quarry, beneath a rosemary slate roof. There is a single storey extension to the rear of the building.

The ground floor accommodation features a spacious entrance hall, lounge with wonderful bay window to the front and an open plan kitchen and dining room. Within the extension is the garden room and downstairs bathroom

Moving upstairs there is landing area with access to the bedrooms and shower room. There are 2 good sized double bedrooms and a smaller 3rd bedroom. Bedroom 4 is set up as a study with built in desk, but we understand has been used as a single bedroom in the past.

Whilst the property retains many traditional features, it does benefit from a gas central heating system and a relatively modern kitchen. We do however expect that the next owner would look to carry out further extensive renovations and possibly extension to adapt the property for their own requirements.

Externally, there is a long driveway up from Abbey Road with a terraced garden running alongside it. There is generous parking and a detached double garage at the rear of the building and a large garden with lawns and landscaping beyond. The garden enjoys a pleasant, wooded backdrop at the rear.

The property occupies a pleasant and convenient location set back from the main road between the villages of Shepley and Shelley. There are many local amenities in Shepley including 2 pubs, a Co-op, café, Junior School and the village railway station.

Properties of this type and setting are rare to the open market and viewing is essential to appreciate all that it offers.
