Limes Lodge 5 Treelands Gawber Barnsley S75 2HZ
Limes Lodge This attractive, recently constructed, stone-built five-bedroom detached home, which has a triple garage and parking for four to five vehicles, is tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac close to amenities in Gawber on the west side of Barnsley. We ve been here since it was built nearly eight years ago, says Mark, the longest we ve lived anywhere! Externally, it has the charm and appearance of an older-style property, yet inside offers up-to-date, modern living with large rooms and plenty of space. With a family of three, its proximity to good schools was very important. It s a great location; very quiet with no passing traffic but within 3 minutes walk of a small Sainsbury s and a Post Office. There are several parks close by, which are great for walking the dog, while the centre of town is about 20 minutes walk away. We re also near to Barnsley General Hospital and we have easy access to the M1. For us, the hub of the house is the open plan kitchen, dining area and conservatory, where we have a dining table that seats 10, continues Mark. When we installed a log burner in the conservatory, it changed it from being the coolest room in the house to being the warmest, so it s lovely all the year round! We currently use the dining room as a snug but it easily be used for formal dining again as there is also a spacious lounge. The snug and the lounge are carpeted but we had natural slate flooring laid to the rest of the ground floor. A lovely oak staircase leads up to a large galleried landing, where we have a pool table. All of the bedrooms are en suite, two with wet rooms, one with a shower, and two with both a bath and a shower. The triple garage has electric doors and offers plenty of space, which, coupled with the connecting door to the utility room, ensures that we can always load or unload the cars without getting wet! The garden is separated from the driveway by locking metal gates to either side of the house, which means it s safe for young children and pets, explains Mark. The garden is also completely private, being surrounded by a stone wall. It s also easy to manage, having a large York stone patio adjoining the conservatory, a simple expanse of grass and well-stocked borders with plants such as bamboo. We really enjoy living in this locality; we have fantastic neighbours it s a really nice community, but with the family grown up, our needs are changing, so it s time to move on. * * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
