Description

This secluded property, nestled at the end of a tranquil country lane in Yorkshire, represents a unique opportunity for redevelopment with planning consent secured to transform both the existing home and an adjacent barn. Originally constructed in the 1930s by a coal merchant for his wife, this residence offers a rich history and significant potential. The main house currently features three bedrooms and several living spaces, including a kitchen equipped with traditional timber units and an AGA, as well as a conservatory that opens onto expansive gardens covering about 0.74 acres. The approved plans allow for the expansion of the current dwelling into a five-bedroom family home, enhancing its appeal for buyers seeking spacious accommodations or multi-generational living solutions. Additionally, the detached barn is primed for conversion into a six-bedroom residence, providing further scope for luxury rentals or investment opportunities. Surrounded by landscaped gardens complete with mature trees and a wildlife pond, this property combines rural tranquility with proximity to Halifax town centre, where shops and restaurants are just minutes away. For those looking to develop or create bespoke properties in a picturesque setting while still maintaining convenient access to urban amenities, this site holds tremendous promise. Local schools and transport links add to the overall attractiveness of this location.
