Description

The original wool factory dates back to the 1800s and was split into three ’townhouse style’ homes in the 1970’s, which, along with four workers cottages, makes up the small riverside development. No 4 was acquired by the current owners, who used local heritage builders to undertake a full renovation - taking it back to the bare bones, fulfilling structural work and new wiring and plumbing, plus restoring and enhancing original features such as timber and stonework throughout. The property boasts the impressive stairwell that serviced the factory, now with new, hand-crafted ash stairs and feature window. The 2,200 square foot four-bed home is set in an idyllic spot and enjoys glorious views over the rolling hills and moor beyond.

The ground floor incorporates an entrance/boot room with W.C., storage and cloakroom area; a spacious kitchen/diner, with bespoke ash units and long-life composite stone island, plus a large slide and pivot window with views of the courtyard; the stairwell with storage space underneath and access to the courtyard garden. Exposed timbers and high ceiling throughout. The first floor comprises living room, study, laundry room and large storage area. Again, the space has high ceilings, painted beams and lintels, with rural views. The second floor offers two large en-suite bedrooms with views over the surrounding countryside. The top floor has two further large ensuite-bedrooms, with double height vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and excellent views over the rolling hills surrounding the property.

The house has a pretty, Mediterranean-style courtyard garden, with seating and BBQ area. In addition, the property benefits from a separate piece of level land that is used as an allotment, as well as low maintenance wild flower meadow and seating area, with a beautiful countryside and river backdrop.  The area at the front of the property, the width of No. 4’s building, provides parking space enough for two vehicles.
