Description

Set within the scenic Shibden Valley, Selby House is a historically significant detached residence that dates back to 1485. This property offers a fascinating combination of period features and modern amenities, though not all elements remain from its original construction. The tranquil setting, near the renowned Shibden Mill Inn and enveloped by the natural charm of Yorkshire's countryside, provides both serenity and convenient access to local services and transport routes. Off-road parking enhances the practicality of this remarkable home. Selby House presents an extraordinary opportunity not only for residential living but also as a potential investment. The additional derelict barn, stables, and swimming pool—available separately—could be revitalized for various uses or redevelopment, making it appealing for developers or those interested in creating bespoke living spaces. Furthermore, approximately 2 acres of grazing land may interest equestrian enthusiasts or those seeking additional grounds. The spacious interiors include a Grand Hall, Lounge, Office, Kitchen/Diner, Utility Room, Games Room, Library, and five bedrooms with ample accommodation on both floors. The surrounding gardens include raised beds for cultivation and practical outbuildings for storage; however, they would benefit from some care to enhance their utility and aesthetic appeal. This property is ideal for those wishing to blend historical character with personal style through renovation while potentially capitalizing on additional development opportunities.
