“I’ve been here since 2008,” says Diane.

“I liked the property because of its tucked away

position in good sized gardens in a nice area,

while the house itself was particularly appealing

because of its large, bright rooms, especially the

dining area with its high vaulted roof. The house

had been created by the enlargement of an

existing bungalow on the site by a local builder a

few years previously.”

“To maintain a low roofline, the rear extension was cut into the land behind, so there are steps down to it on both

the ground and the upper floor,” explains Diane. “There are four

first floor bedrooms, all with dormer windows and one with an en

suite bathroom. Another bedroom has its own access to the family

bathroom. The original bungalow bedrooms, which are to either

side of the front entrance, currently provide a second dining room

and a second lounge. There’s a ground floor bathroom and an

updated utility room, while the completely refurbished kitchen is

open plan via steps down to the vaulted dining area, where French

doors open to a patio at the side. Double doors lead from the

dining area to the large lounge and together they provide plenty of

space for entertaining.”

“The gardens are secure and private, being surrounded by fencing and

beech hedging and accessible only by electric gates at the front,” continues Diane.

“The front and side driveways provide plenty of parking. The front garden includes

areas of lawn, apple and plum trees, a versatile former stable with power and

water, plus a solid-built kennel within a fenced area, and a chicken run.”


The rear garden has a large, flat lawn with planted borders. About two years ago, a pretty wood shingled summer house was constructed on the left hand side of the lawn; it has a solid rear wall

but is open to the sides and the front, and adjoins a stone flagged patio. At the back of the garden there are some raised vegetable beds and a greenhouse. Skelmanthorpe has everything you need within

walking distance including a doctors’ surgery, a dental practice, a library, a butcher, a bakery and a Co-op,” adds Diane. “There are two good primary schools and a high school, while the middle school is in

the next village. There are plenty of nice walks and good leisure facilities too, including cricket, squash and football clubs. It’s only 10-15 minutes to the M1 and just seven miles to Huddersfield, and ten to

Barnsley or Wakefield. I’ve worked in Leeds, Sheffield and Manchester, doing the journeys in under an hour. Nearby Denby Dale has a station on the Huddersfield, Barnsley and Sheffield line and there are

mainline stations at Huddersfield and Wakefield. Skelmanthorpe is an excellent place to live,” concludes Diane. “I will miss the space and light of the house, its quiet but neighbourly location, and its garden,

which gets the sun all the time.”
