In the outstanding hamlet of Fulstone between New Mill and Stocksmoor it is rare to find a detached period home that requires some rejuvenation but that has also been used as two separate properties for many years and with a workshop and garage to the rear offers a huge amount of potential to create a large substantial detached home or to delightful well positioned properties. With driveway, pleasant gardens and astonishing views the property has been in family ownership for well over 55 years. It is important to view to establish how well the properties are connected and the scope which is available particularly incorporating the current garage / workshop and even the possibility of extending above, all of course subject to the necessary consent.
Please note that the property is available by the best and final offers method. All bids to be submitted to the Holmfirth office no later than Monday 22nd July 2024 at 12 noon.
