Avenue cottage, Wortley Village is a unique grade II listed detached cottage built in 1862 for the Earl of Wharncliffe's head gardener. This country gem sits in its own private corner of the walled garden of Wortley Hall providing a perfect setting for relaxed rural living, having lovely all round views of the surrounding countryside as well as the grounds of Wortley Hall. All this is within easy reach of the M1, Sheffield, Huddersfield, Leeds, Penistone, Barnsley and Manchester. It is a short walk to the centre of the village where the bus for Sheffield/Penistone stops. Wortley has good pubs, a church, golf club and shops including a thriving post office/general store and tea rooms and there are many beautiful walks radiating from the village. There are good primary and secondary schools nearby. The house itself is truly unique with some wonderful features which must be viewed to be fully appreciated. It is double glazed thoughout, well decorated in a neutral style and briefly comprises three first floor bedrooms and bathroom and to the ground floor there is a large farmhouse style family dining/kitchen, living room, impressive reception area, lounge and garden room. Externally there are two brick built stores with planning permission for a further study/ ensuite bedroom. A large stone built workshop which was originally the fruit store sits adjacent to the house with the possibility of conversion, subject to necessary consent. This was recently re-roofed with domestic grade insulation and fitted with conservation skylights. There are lighting points and power sockets. A door leads to the rear garden area.
