Set within approximately 2.5 acres of beautifully maintained gardens and adjoining pasture, Riversdale is an exceptional four-bedroom detached residence approached via a sweeping private driveway lined with pink blossom trees, offering an enviable blend of seclusion, space and far-reaching rural outlooks. The property enjoys a semi-rural setting whilst remaining within easy reach of Marsden and Slaithwaite, with their well-regarded amenities, railway connections and convenient access to Junctions 23 and 24 of the M62 motorway.

The home offers substantial, light-filled accommodation extending to just over 2.5 acres of gardens, grounds and adjoining field. It retains a timeless sense of character, enhanced by generous proportions and an abundance of natural light, with picturesque views from almost every window across the surrounding valley and mature landscape.

The ground floor unfolds from a welcoming entrance lobby into an impressive reception hall setting the tone for the space beyond, including a staircase to the first floor and guest w.c A magnificent dual-aspect sitting room forms the heart of the home, centred around a wood-burning stove with carved stone surround and complemented by a striking bay window with fitted seating — a wonderful vantage point over the gardens.

The living/dining kitchen is a superb open-plan entertaining space, thoughtfully designed with an extensive range of high-quality cabinetry, granite work surfaces and a Rangemaster cooking range. A substantial breakfast bar provides informal seating, while ample room remains for both formal dining and relaxed seating areas, making it equally suited to everyday family life and larger gatherings. The space is finished with beautiful oak flooring, adding warmth and continuity to this impressive heart of the home.

A secondary entrance hall leads to a well-appointed utility room, generous pantry and integral double garage with original sliding doors, ensuring practicality matches the home’s aesthetic appeal.

To the first floor, a bright and spacious landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys dual-aspect views and fitted furniture, while the second bedroom extends through to a versatile suite of additional rooms — offering excellent flexibility for home working, hobbies or the creation of a self-contained annexe arrangement if desired. A stylish house bathroom, complemented by a separate W.C., serves the remaining bedrooms.

Externally, the grounds are a particular feature of the property. Remote-controlled gates open onto a sweeping driveway with integral double garage, extensive parking for 3/4 cars and turning space. Two substantial stone-flagged terraces provide ideal settings for outdoor entertaining, while manicured lawns, mature trees, established borders and a pond create a private and tranquil environment rich in wildlife. Beyond the formal gardens lies a wildflower paddock and an adjoining grass field with stock-proof fencing, together forming an impressive landholding of just over 2.5 acres.

The property also benefits from a substantial lower ground floor workshop extending to over 30 feet in length. Accessed externally for convenience, this highly versatile space is ideal for those requiring dedicated hobby, craft or storage facilities. Equipped with power, lighting and plumbing, it houses the central heating boiler and pressurised water system, and also incorporates a recessed W.C. and wash basin.

Riversdale represents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished family home set within generous private grounds, combining rural charm with exceptional convenience.
