About the Station Masters House
As its name suggests, this unique detached property was the former Station Masters House to Holmfirth Railway Station. It is understood to date back to the mid 1800s and is of stone built construction beneath a tall pitched slate roof. It has a distinctive gothic appearance from the outside with its tall chimneys and stone mullioned windows. Whilst the railway line and station were decommissioned in the 1960s the original stone platform has been retained in front of the house and is used as a raised seating area to enjoy the views.

Our clients have carried out various refurbishments since purchasing the house in 2016 and it is presented to a good modern standard throughout whilst retaining its original character features. It has a gas central heating system, double glazed windows and good quality fittings throughout.

The day to day entrance into the property is through the kitchen which is a most welcoming room, fitted with an excellent range of shaker style units whilst featuring a high coved ceiling and stone fireplace. From here the inner hallway features a staircase to the first floor, access to the downstairs wc and a glazed folding door into the sitting room which in turn features double doors to the garden and enjoys the views over Holmfirth. The final ground floor room is the large lounge which features period fireplace and a further set of double doors out to the garden.

Upstairs you will find a spacious landing area which gives access to the 3 double bedrooms. The principal bedroom features 2 walk in wardrobes / dressing rooms. Also on this floor is the superb house bathroom with its roll top bath and glazed shower enclosure.

Externally, there is a driveway from Station Road to the top side of the house which leads to a generous parking area. The former platform provides a generous seating area which overlooks the lawned garden which in turn wraps around the lower side of the house.

The property is perfectly placed for access to the centre of Holmfirth which has an excellent array of shops, bars, restaurants and other independent businesses.
