Description
About The Elms
The property was constructed circa 1906 for Wright Schofield and his family. Schofield was a local headmaster, turned publisher and co-founder of the educational book company Schofield & Sims. It is of traditional stone built construction with double height bays to either side of the entrance door and a rosemary tiled roof. The style of the building marks a change from the Victorian homes that preceded it with nods to the arts an crafts movement to be seen in the wooden balustrading of the hall and stairs and leaded glazed windows.
Our clients purchased the property in 2017 and have carried out a painstaking programme of renovation, going to great lengths to retain the original features whilst enhancing them with quality modern fixtures and fittings within a traditional style.
This is in great evidence immediately when walking into the entrance hall with its high coved ceilings and impressive staircase with wooden handrail and newel posts. The hall features a double width opening to the dining room which is in reality a multi purpose reception room. There is a formal lounge on the other side of the hallway and a cosy snug to the rear of the building. Each of these rooms features its own log burning stove. Also off the hall is a cloakroom area with access to the downstairs wc.
The kitchen is located to the rear of the building and is open into single storey extension which features a living / dining area with double doors out to the garden. The bespoke kitchen fittings were designed and supplied by Drew Forsythe of Hebden Bridge and incorporate a larder unit, quartz worksurfaces, island unit and a Esse range style cooker. A door from the kitchen leads down to the cellars.
On the first floor the landing opens up into a study area (formerly a single bedroom) which features a window seat to the front and built in shelving to either side. The principal bedrooms is a good sized double with a bay window to the front enjoying the views. Off the bedroom is a walk in dressing room with fitted wardrobes which in turn leads into an en-suite bathroom. There is a further double bedroom with bay window and a large single bedroom on this floor. These are served by the superb house bathroom.
Two further double bedrooms are to be found on the upper floor of the building, with high angled ceilings, one of these rooms was originally the billiard room for Mr Schofield. These bedrooms have the use of the shower room which sits between the two rooms.
In the cellar there are 3 large rooms (and 2 smaller rooms) providing generous storage or the scope to be converted into additional accommodation such as a gym or cinema room if required. One of the rooms features double doors to the side and can be used as a garage. Another houses the central heating boiler and hot water tank and is used as a laundry / utility room.
The property benefits from a gas central heating system which has been upgraded by our clients. The kitchen and all bathrooms have also been refurbished with quality fittings. Original features such as leaded glazed sash windows and high coved ceilings have been retained whist tasteful additions including areas of panelling to the internal walls and wooden parquet flooring.
Externally, there is a generous driveway parking area to the side of the building leading into the garage, an attractively landscaped front garden and a more extensive lawned garden with lawns, seating areas, mature trees and borders.
The property sits in a pleasant and convenient setting with the village junior school and railway station a short walk away – note that the railway line passes by the rear of the garden plot. Brockholes also has a village pub and a handful of other small shops and amenities. A further range of facilities are available in the nearby village of Honley and market town of Holmfirth.
