This unique detached property was the former stationmasters house at Shepley railway station. The property offers 3 double bedrooms and a generous downstairs space which benefits from a recent side extension. It sits within a generous plot with gardens to the front and rear, garage and parking.
About the property
Shepley’s railway line was opened in 1850 by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway and the stationmasters house is believed to date back to this time too. It sits next door to what is now the Penistone Line between Huddersfield and Penistone, providing excellent transport links for any future owner.
The property is of traditional stone built construction beneath a pitched slate roof with a further section hipped onto the side. It has undergone recent updating by the present owners with a modern kitchen extension added to the other side elevation.
The main entrance door sits at the side of the house providing access into the hall where there are stairs to the first floor and access to the downstairs cloakroom and study. There is also a door into the L-shaped open plan living kitchen and dining room. This features an excellent range of modern fitted units, feature windows to the side and a high angled ceiling. The lounge sits to the front of the building and has a log burning stove, bay window and partial exposed stone work. There is also a utility room on this floor – within the modern extension.
Upstairs you will find a landing area to access the 3 double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has feature angled ceilings and windows to the side enjoying the views. It also has an en-suite bathroom. The other 2 bedrooms are served by the house bathroom.
The windows are mostly double glazed and there is a gas central heating system. Whilst the property has undergone modernisation, the original character of the building is maintained. It is our view that buyers will see further scope and potential to add their own tastes and also possibly carry out further extension to the front of the building – this was passed at the time of the side extension.
Externally, the property is accessed from Station Lane (an unmade lane that runs parallel with the railway line) and features wooden gates opening to a gravelled parking area and a detached single garage. The front garden runs from here to the front of the house. There is also a further enclosed garden to the rear of the building.
