3 Bedroom Cottage
Northgate, Mirfield, WF14

This Grade II listed cottage is a truly unique property dating from about 1815, rich in stunning character features and offering exquisite, far-reaching views. Nestled in an idyllic location, it provides a rare opportunity to own a piece of history. Deceptively small from the outside, only on internal inspection can this property be fully appreciated.

Lounge Diner

17' 5" x 18' 9" (5.31m x 5.72m)

Upon entering the property, you are immediately welcomed by an abundance of character and charm. The exposed stone walls and beamed ceiling are beautifully complemented by the engineered oak flooring. The room's centrepiece is an impressive fireplace with an inglenook woodburning stove, creating a warm and cosy ambience on chilly winter evenings, and featuring a special carved mouse in the mantle. Authentic features abound, including mullion windows that allow natural light to flood in, and a unique window seat made from an antique organ frontage, containing a hidden gun safe.

Cellar

This fully tanked cellar has been expertly converted into a cleverly designed utility room. Equipped with plumbing for a washing machine, dryer, freezer, and sink, it is perfectly suited to meet all your needs. This space offers far more than a typical cellar, providing practical and convenient functionality, complemented by the luxury of a full-wall wine rack.

Dining Kitchen

11' 5" x 8' 3" (3.48m x 2.51m)

Upon entering the kitchen, you will be amazed by the picture-perfect views framed by the mullion windows, offering superb vistas over the surrounding fields. The kitchen boasts a range of oak-fronted units, incorporating a fridge, dishwasher, oven, grill, four-ring electric hob, and microwave, with complementing work surfaces. The space is maximised by a small built-in oak breakfast table and chairs. A charming stable door leads to the outside, creating a wonderful space for socialising that seamlessly extends to the outdoors.

Landing

The feature staircase, with its exposed stone wall and sunken handrail, leads to the first-floor landing. Here, you'll find a full-height bookcase, a deep upper storage cupboard, and access to three bedrooms and the house bathroom. The landing also provides access to a fully boarded and insulated loft space with ample storage, complete with a pull-down ladder and electricity supply. Additionally, a positive input ventilation system has been installed which supplies filtered, fresh air from the loft and circulates it throughout the house, preventing condensation.

Exterior

At the rear of the property is a low-maintenance grass area divided into two sections by a vehicular right of access for the neighbouring cottages.
