Today's Property of the Week is a well presented and spacious executive style detached property, situated in a highly regarded residential area of Baildon. It enjoys an open aspect to the front elevation across West Lane, and distant views from the first floor to the rear.
The owner, who has lived in the property for 16 years, tells us: "We already lived in Baildon and wanted a bigger house so when this came on the market it was perfect."
The home was built about 40 years ago, as one of 13 houses on Five Oaks and briefly comprises a hallway, a separate WC, spacious lounge, dining room, breakfast kitchen, utility and conservatory.
To the first floor are four double bedrooms the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and a family bathroom. The house benefits from gas fired central heating and double glazing.
“When we first viewed the property our first impression was of a lovely family home. It was in good condition although, as always, you change things to suit your own taste," the owner said.
“Over the 16 years we have decorated and updated throughout including new kitchen, bathrooms and cloakroom. We updated the conservatory by changing the existing French doors to sliding patio doors and adding a celsius blue glass roof.
“We opened up the hallway with spindles to give a galleried landing, making the hallway more open and light.
“Over the last two years we have added laminated wood effect floors to the hall, dining room and conservatory.
“It is very well decorated throughout and is a home you could simply move into.”
Externally the property has an attractive lawned front garden with a tarmac drive providing ample off-road parking which leads to an integral double garage with light and power.
To the rear there is an enclosed and well maintained garden with lawn, ornamental pond, patio and decking areas.
The conifer hedge border affording the garden a degree of privacy. Additionally there are a variety of outbuildings including a greenhouse and two garden sheds.
“We have made changes to the garden, adding decking and a fishpond. There is also a green house and a small area for growing vegetables. The garden is south facing, private with different sitting areas depending on whether you like shade or sun.
“It has recently benefitted from new guttering, facia boards and soffits," the owner said.
“This house will definitely appeal to anyone wanting a spacious family home. It is ideally situated for local schools.
"It has views to the front over open fields and views to the back as far as Emley Moor.
“We are now planning a new life in Spain. We will take with us many memories of our home in Baildon including many family parties and celebrations.
“Without doubt if we could pick this house up and take it with us we would!”
