Sycamore Farm Cottage & Barn, Towngate, Upperthong, Holmfirth

PLANNING

The property has achieved planning permission to extend out to the rear. To the cottage, consent has been given for a two-storey, gabled extension and to the barn, a single storey extension. The property has also been granted consent for the barn and the cottage to be joined together, as one. We enclose the plans and give a brief indication of what that accommodation/layout would look like. Please see the plans showing the external garden space which includes a driveway, giving access through the barn to a driveway/parking area within the rear garden area. If the barn and home were to be joined together, the building would have the following accommodation:

PROPOSED PLAN

Similar driveway through to a driveway at the rear with this coming under/through the barn also creating under cover carparking/garaging. There would be a large living room, enjoying the views, central hallway, fabulous living/dining kitchen, very large snug/gym/store, downstairs w.c./shower room and five bedrooms to the first-floor level: bedroom one, en-suited, bedroom five en-suited and two-house bathrooms and attic room.

ENTRANCE

An attractive entrance porch with flagged floor and glazing to two sides and glazed roof gives shelter to the main entrance door which leads into the dining/living kitchen.

DINING KITCHEN

15' 2" x 15' 0" (4.62m x 4.57m)
This very attractive room has two beautiful, period-style windows, both fitted with high quality UPVC sash windows. The room has a stone-flagged floor, high central ceiling light point, attractive, period style range and units at both the high and low level which give a large amount of cupboard space. There is a good amount of work surface with inset one-and-a-half bowl sink unit with mixer tap above. There is also a Belling oven with the usual warming ovens, five-ring, gas hob and extractor fan above. A doorway gives access through to a lobby.

LOBBY CELLAR

The lobby has a window to the side and cellar steps leading down to the good-sized cellar, which has a stone-flagged floor, stone table and UPVC windows to the front elevation and stone shelving.

UTILITY ROOM

18' 8" x 7' 2" (5.69m x 2.18m)
Off the dining/living kitchen is a good-sized utility room, once again with stone-flagged flooring, inset spot lighting to the ceiling and a large number of units with work surfaces, plumbing for an automatic washing machine, space for a dryer, obscure-glazed window and obscure-glazed UPVC door giving direct access through to the barn. A doorway from the dining/living kitchen gives access to an inner lobby with staircase reaching up to the first-floor landing. A lobby also gives access through to the lounge.

LOUNGE

14' 9" x 11' 7" (4.50m x 3.53m)
A good-sized room with a beautiful view via the conservatory. This room has an attractive fireplace with raised stone-flagged hearth and central ceiling light point. It should be noted that the lounge has an external door which is glazed at the upper portion, giving further natural light to the room. This door is currently blocked from the inside. This could be considered for conversion to a pure, glazed window due to the fact that access out to the rear gardens is courtesy of the conservatory/orangery. This room is beautifully positioned overlooking the extensive rear gardens, and having a fabulous, glazed roof. There are twin, glazed doors giving direct access out to the gardens and the amazing view beyond. Also on the ground floor level is the shower room/downstairs WC.

SHOWER ROOM / DOWNSTAIRS WC

10' 3" x 6' 7" (3.12m x 2.01m)
This which is the principal bathing area for the house itself in its current form, has a ceramic tiled floor, ceramic tiling to the full ceiling height to two walls, low-level w.c., pedestal wash hand basin and good-sized shower with glazed screen and chrome fittings.

FIRST FLOOR LANDING

With obscure-glazed window, a doorway leads through to bedroom one

BEDROOM ONE

12' 0" x 11' 3" (3.66m x 3.43m)
A pleasant double room with stunning view courtesy of twin windows, period-style fireplace, walk-in wardrobe.

Served by a low-level w.c. and pedestal wash handbasin. There is also a chrome, heated towel rail.

BEDROOM TWO

15' 0" x 14' 8" (4.57m x 4.47m)
Positioned to the Towngate side, this is a larger room and has twin, period-style, high quality sash windows. There is a good long-distance view out over the village, central ceiling light point, period-style cupboards and a period-style fireplace. A doorway gives access to a staircase which leads up to the top floor attic room.

ATTIC ROOM

16' 6" x 14' 9" (5.03m x 4.50m)
This is currently used as storage and has a gable window. Enough space exists within bedroom two to create a corridor to give direct access off the first-floor landing if so desired. .

BARN

30' 4" x 20' 3" (9.25m x 6.17m)
Adjoining the cottage is the good-sized, two-storey barn. To the ground floor, there is an automatically operated, up-and-over door giving access directly from Towngate. This provides a large amount of parking and barn-style storage. There is a downstairs w.c. and a staircase leads up to a good-sized storeroom. The barn has planning consent to be converted to provide additional accommodation. The plans demonstrate the following accommodation.
