“The house was about 5 years old when we first saw it,” remembers Elaine, and from

the outset we were impressed by its charm and

also by its location. Being stone-built, the house

blended naturally into its setting, encompassed

by trees and with lawns on three sides., and

having both a large secure garden and spacious

rooms, it seemed the perfect place to bring

up our family. The schools have proved to be

excellent and we’ve been here now for around

20 years.”

“The house grew with the family, In 2005, we extended to

the rear, increasing the size of the kitchen and by going up a deck

we added a fourth bedroom with an en suite shower room above.

At the same time, we constructed a single storey utility room to

the side. We used reclaimed local stone so that the extensions

matched the house exactly. Four years later we built a south

facing orangery to the rear, adding an extensive patio to provide

plenty of space for entertaining, barbecues and sitting out.”

insight


“The orangery and rear patio look out towards Brow Grains Dike on the southern boundary, which has small waterfall; we enjoy the restful sound

of the water and watching the variety of wildlife that the water attracts. It is a

wonderful space in which to relax, read, paint or simply just enjoy a coffee”


“Other improvements have been the refurbishment of the two en suite shower rooms, the family bathroom and the ground floor cloakroom,” says Elaine. “We also

upgraded the kitchen work surfaces to granite and refurbished the utility room with tiled work surfaces and a Belfast sink. The lounge has a lovely large open inglenook fireplace with a

flagstone hearth in which we installed a multi-fuel burning stove; we also added a feature fireplace with a gas stove to the dining room. Other recent improvements have included

re-carpeting throughout and installing a new boiler. Rivendell is in an excellent location, a 5 minute walk and we are within easy reach of all Meltham’s many amenities, which also includes a

golf club. Also, within a 5 minutes walking distance, we are into The National Peak District countryside via Mill Moor Road, which has been excellent for taking the dogs out. Meltham is also

within easy reach of Huddersfield and the M62, which provides good access to Leeds and Manchester.”

“We will miss everything about Rivendell as it’s been a wonderful family home, concludes Elaine. “No matter how many friends the children had round,

there always seemed to be plenty of room for everyone in the house without ever being in

each other’s way. By adding the workshop, garaging and outbuildings these have given my

husband plenty of space to pursue his interest in restoring classic cars, but now the children

have all grown up it’s time for us to move on to a new opportunity.”
