Description

Dating back to approximately 1847, this historic residence offers a compelling opportunity for renovation and investment. Originally built by the railway company for the keeper of Wyke Tunnel during the Victorian era, this property has a unique heritage that adds character to its generous living spaces. The home features several modifications over the years, including extensions from the 1980s, which enhance its layout but also present opportunities for further development. Situated on a spacious gated corner plot with ample off-road parking and a detached garage, the property is well-suited for modern family needs while also allowing scope for extension or redesign (subject to planning permissions). Internally, the home comprises a welcoming kitchen that opens into a bright dining/sitting area, a spacious lounge highlighted by an impressive fireplace and wood-burning stove, as well as three comfortably sized double bedrooms on the first floor. A well-appointed bathroom on this level serves family needs effectively. The basement cellar provides additional storage options, adding to the property's practicality. Located conveniently close to local amenities, schools, and transport links—including Low Moor Train Station which connects to major cities—this home combines history with accessibility. With its charming features and substantial outdoor space ripe for enhancements or additional construction, this property is not only a delightful place to live but also an excellent investment opportunity.
