Glen View, Golcar Brow Road, Meltham | Offers over £149,000 | 4 bedroom Terrace  

Floor Area 1185  sq.ft. approx.

Glen View is a most deceptive Victorian terrace offering extensive accommodation

laid out over four floors and displays many period features including deep skirting,

high ceilings, moulded covings, and period style fireplace. The property also has gas

fired central heating, and double glazing. There is a certain amount of flexibility with

regard to the lower ground floor accommodation which includes a shower room, and

therefore has potential for a granny/teenage flat.

There is a garden to the front and a tarmac area to the rear which can be used as an

outside sitting area or for parking.

Meltham itself sits on the fringe of the Pennine hills and is therefore an ideal location

for those who enjoy walking and other outdoor pursuits. The village offers good

amenities including a range of village shops and a Morrisons supermarket. This is

also an ideal base for commuting to any of the surrounding major conurbations such

as Leeds, Manchester, Wakefield and Sheffield with good access to the M1 and M62 motorways.

A broad timber entrance door with two large decorative obscure glazed panels and a
