Is this your Dream House? ...

A luxury family home down by the waterside. The gardens at Reedacres, Redacre, Mytholmroyd. On sale with Ryburne & Co, Hebden Bridge, for £599,950.

 

A MAGIFICENT detached house by the canalside in Mytholmroyd is our featured property this week. This splendid 4/5 bedroom home stands in ¾ acre of outstanding manicured gardens with pond and bounded on one elevation by the Rochdale Canal with two moorings.

 

The garden is divided up into specific areas such as a herb garden, in a cart wheel of brick paving with water feature, orchard with hard and soft fruit, pond with bridge over and adjacent bog garden, wildflower banking, rose bed, large patio, decking at canal level with BBQ, various herbaceous borders and a large level lawn with a functioning well.

 

Picturesque Reedacres at Redacres is equally green and environmentally friendly on the inside too. It was built 29 years ago, to insulation standards that, even now, regulations are struggling to achieve. It was constructed with two cavities, one with 150mm thick polystyrene walled in, continuing between ground floor joists and on top of roof joists filled with fibreglass. A ventilation system was installed at construction stage which has since been modified to incorporate an air-to-air heat pump, which heats or cools, dependent on the season, automatically. Underfloor heating has recently been installed to the ground floor to supplement the heat pump when or if necessary.

 

A tour of this spacious family home is a must. The dwelling comprises: a ground floor, vestibule entrance with two locking doors opening into spacious central hallway. The comfortable lounge has a conservatory off it, there is a snug dining room, kitchen, office/study, utility room with condensing gas boiler and cylinder linked to solar water panels, cloakroom leading to downstairs w.c. and washbasin, and integral triple garage. The first floor is accessed by open stairs to a landing with four bedrooms (two en-suite) and recent modernised house bathroom. There is fitted furniture to three bedrooms and there is a second floor/attic, large attic bedroom and door leading to plant room. The triple garages have electronic part glazed doors, with boarded floor to roof space currently used for storage. The doors open out into a large circular brick drive with a feature centre circle. Adjoining the garages are outbuildings currently used for storage but could easily be adapted for other uses.

 

The canal moorings have provision for metered electric and water supplies. You are a stone’s throw from Mytholmroyd with its mix of shops, restaurants and choice of schools, and the railway station is a few minutes away with links to Leeds and Manchester. There are also regular buses towards Halifax and Hebden Bridge.

 

For more information contact Ryburne & Co, 31- 33 West End, Hebden Bridge, on 01422 844963 or 01422 842926.

Naaah it will never sell, you could buy a crappy dump of a flat in a hole known as London for that kind of money

[Athy]

I see it has portholes as well as windows.

Wasn't Mytholmroyd an imaginary Northerner?

I was going to buy it then I saw the silly little bridge.

I know, the clearance for a NB under that is going to be very tight..

[Mac of Cygnet]

I think they're just trying to cash in on all the stuff about Ted Hughes just now.

If only...........my Daughter has put in an offer higher than that for a 3 bed flat in Central London.

[Nightwatch]

There's already a boat on the mooring.

 

Drat!

Who wants those liveaboards at the bottom of your garden. Plus how the heck did they get that boat under the silly little bridge?

WHY !!!! ?

Years ago a bloke on a very good wage who had become trapped in London by the wage structure gave me two quotes they were

If the world had piles, they would be in London

If you dropped an Atom bomb on London it would do fifty pence worth of damage

 

Those two sentences just about sum the place up..............

[system 4-50]

...

 

If you dropped an Atom bomb on London ...

 

at 30,000 ft it would be asked to go into a holding pattern until a landing slot became available

at 25,000 ft the City would start selling London stock and offer complex long-odds deals on the public conveniences in Bishopsgate surviving.

at 20,000 ft the Government would start considering whether defence alliances with other powers were a good idea.

at 15,000 ft the RMT would come out on strike because they believe it would not be safe for the passenger to travel on the Underground as it has not been maintained in a way that will resist nuclear explosions.

at 10,000 ft a new Olympic event will be announced, the 30 mile sprint.

at 5,000 ft it would be stolen for the metal content

at 0ft it would be clamped for resting on double yellow lines (momentarily).

might be slightly off topic - but so so funny (to a northerner anyway)

A more Yorkocentric version which I once heard was, "Hull is the asshole of the world and Halifax is 50 miles up it".

Come to think of it, my late father used quote the expression "From Hull, hell and Halifax, good Lord preserve us". I don't know from whence the quotation comes.

It's about a jail in Hull and a Gibbet in Halifax

Thanks Mac.

The Halifax Gibbet was a guillotine. The blade is in Bankfield Museum.
