The coach house stands at the back of one of the 'Villas of Edgerton' in a conservation area. It is a stone-built detached outbuilding for the main house, both built in 1864. On the A629, 1 mile from the town centre and railway station, 2 miles from the M62, 1 mile from Huddersfield main hospital. Set back from the road, it is surprisingly quiet. Original features have been quirkily preserved. Work from home or relax in its simply furnished, well equipped, charming environment. Note: NOT suitable for children. The stable space is now a SITTING-ROOM, with flagstones, cobbles and troughs re-laid over a new solid base floor. The display units are built into the old 'chutes' for the hay falling from the loft to the horse-mangers. The wood-paneling was reproduced from the original. The original Jacob's ladder formerly used to access the loft remains in place but, obviously, is no longer in use. The coach room has been turned into a DINING KITCHEN, with original flagstones similarly re-laid. The original chimney stack has gone, but the chimney breast remains a distinctive feature. The height of the room allowed for a gallery to be created at the top of the new stairs, where a WORKSPACE has been set up, overlooking the lower level. 2 more steps lead to the DOUBLE BEDROOM on one side, with the original hay loft round window. The double doors formerly used to load the hay from the courtyard have been replaced with glazed ones opening to a Juliet balcony. On the other side is the BATHROOM, which can also be accessed direct from the bedroom without any steps. It gets plenty of natural light from 2 roof-lights, and offers a shower-bath, washbasin and toilet. The top of the hay-chutes form interesting stone 'niches'. The coach house is entirely independent for the use of guests. The courtyard is shared with the owners and can be used to sit or eat al fresco in addition to off-road parking.

After a career in teaching then university administration, I am now self-employed as a French genealogist for English speakers, and as my husband's business partner, dealing with administration and management. Nicholas is a long-established private music teacher of, mainly, piano and guitar in Huddersfield.

The coach house stands in a conservation area, at the back of one of the 'Villas of Edgerton', which are 19th century villas of great architectural interest. You will find a book in the coach house dedicated to them. Within a 1-mile radius you will find Greenhead Park, local shops and takeaways in Marsh, Huddersfield town centre with its rail and bus station, supermarkets, and many other amenities. Further out, you can easily visit Holmfirth and many other charming towns and villages in the Pennine hills.
