“The first thing that attracted us to the house was its location. The original property was a two bed bungalow which we knocked down to create our ‘forever home’. We knew the location was perfect for us and we have lived in the area for years before. Thurlstone is within easy reach of the market town of Penistone and therefore everything you could need is right on your doorstep!”

“Ash Lea is a beautiful house which we lovingly built. When we demolished the

original bungalow we created our perfect four

bedroom home with the highest specification

appliances and insulation. The house has been

a delight to live within. It is incredibly energy

efficient and cosy in the winter months.”

vendor


“We designed the new home in the style of a traditional country house and have put in exposed beam work and timber to create an authentic feel. In

the kitchen I knew I wanted the Aga to be the heart of the room

and it is where I spend the majority of my time. The Aga is the

centre of everything and the kitchen was bespoke made to create

an excellent open plan space. The kitchen is combined with the

dining room creating a wonderful social place for all our family

to congregate.”

“The rooms have stunning views across the open countryside and we cannot fault the location. There is a popular cycle track nearby as well as

walking routes providing plenty of family activities on the weekends. The garden is

also perfect for the family!”



“The garden has been large enough to meet the needs of our children as they grow up, we have a 12ft trampoline on one section of the lawn whilst another section of the garden has become my sons makeshift football ground! There is plenty of space for everyone to enjoy their own activities and the grounds are totally secure. It would be the perfect home for a

family with lively children and pets.”
