Property details: 4 Bedroom Detached | Warley Road, Halifax, HX2
This detached family home stands within large private gardens towards the top of Warley Road, the elevated position providing spectacular, far reaching views as far as the moors off in the distance. It retains much of the character of the period, with timber panelling, leaded and stained glass windows, deep ceiling covings, high skirtings... whilst combining that with modern features such as gas central heating and uPVC double glazed windows that match the originals. The whole frontage has wrought iron railed fencing, and there's a traditional garden with a central pathway up to the front door. Step into the spacious hallway and you immediately get a sense of what's in store. The timber panelling matches the balustraded stairway and the doors, each of which have stained glass windows. The large lounge at the front of the house has a circular bay window, and there's an additional sitting room with a splayed bay overlooking the gardens. The conservatory is the perfect place to sit and enjoy those gardens, actually, and then there's a dining room, a kitchen, a utility room, a large garage, and two WCs on the ground floor. Upstairs doesn't disappoint, either. The landing continues the theme set by the hallway, and there are four good sized bedrooms plus a study and a spacious bathroom, plus a useful loft space that has a Velux window, an ideal space for those with serious hobbies. Would you add a staircase to create extra bedroom space? There's plenty of space to add extra bathrooms, too, if that's your preference, and the large garage and the space outside allow for extensions, subject to any necessary planning. The gardens are a real feature, here, and we were most surprised by the size and the privacy. There's something for everyone, here, with large areas of lawn for the kids to run around in, plenty of colourful flowers, shrubs, and trees for the keen gardeners, and a good sized patio and terrace for family gatherings, or just to sit out and enjoy the weather. It's very private, and let's not forget those beautiful views.

ENTRANCE HALL
A nice wide entrance hall, with plenty of space, that really does set the tone for the rest of the house.
