“We completely fell in love with this three bedroom cottage after our first visit. The views from the property are truly

outstanding and every room comes with a view.

The lounge is especially spectacular and my

favourite room in the house. It has floor to ceiling

windows which overlook the garden and valley

beyond,”

vendor


“When we bought the property we completely redecorated the home and recently installed a brand new bathroom. We haven’t felt any need to extend the home

further as the rooms are very large and the high ceilings create

plenty of space. We have lived at the property for 25 years and

seen our son and daughter grow up here. It has been a fantastic

family home and we have spent many happy years here.”

“Whilst the house is large enough for our family needs, an adjoining

cottage retains original period features such as exposed beams and stone work. The

cottage, which dates back to the 18th Century, could be added to the main house,

which would result in a substantial country farm house wrapped within its own

gardens in turn backing onto open countryside with the most breathtaking of views.”


“The cottage is located close to numerous areas of outstanding natural beauty and there are plenty of walks to keep anyone busy! Pathways run alongside the canal which also links to a rural railway station with connections to Manchester, Leeds and Huddersfield. Marsden is

beautiful no matter what the season and it has been perfect for raising our two children. Good schools can be found within easy reach in Huddersfield

and Rishworth. The village also has everything you could need in one central location with a post office and small supermarket. There is also a popular

arts and crafts shop and a wine bar with a terrace overlooking the valley which makes for a beautiful evening setting,” concludes Angela.


Second FloorA spacious versatile room accessed through bedroom three. Situated in the apex of the roof having four Velux skylight windows once again commanding impressive views whilst also providing access to the eaves storage.

ExternallyThe property is accessed off the main A62. Ainsley Lane leads down to the property. To the immediate front aspect is a double parking bay and established garden areas with shrubs and young trees. To the immediate rear of the property are further enclosed gardens beyond with an adjoining paddock enclosed within a dry stone wall. A lane which belongs to the property leads down to both the adjoining farm cottage old piggeries and detached barn. In addition on the opposite side of the A62 Ainsley Cottage enjoys a further parcel of land the whole package totalling in excess of 5 acres.

Ainsley FarmAinsley farm is an adjoining cottage style farm building, partially renovated and offering immense potential and charm with original exposed timbers ideal for converting into the existing home which would result in a substantial (2500 – 3000 sqft) property. Equally the conversion could be kept separate and used as an annex/holiday let. Within the grounds are former piggeries and a substantial barn.

The BarnA detached stone built barn the structure of which we believe to be sound. The measurements over two floors being approximately 1200 sqft. The barn itself is wrapped within gardens to the front, side and rear aspects, separate access is easily created and subject to the necessary planning regulations would in the opinion of the agent create a delightful three/four bedroom detached character property.
