Description

Dating from the mid-19th century and formed from two former cottages, this detached stone house offers three bedrooms, three reception rooms and a four-piece bathroom. Character details include exposed beams and stonework, inglenook fireplaces and cast-iron stoves. The ground floor includes a lounge, dining room, conservatory, kitchen and separate laundry room. The kitchen has fitted units, a range cooker and space for a fridge, while the dining room has a flagged stone floor with underfloor heating and French doors to the conservatory. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a single bedroom, with fitted storage to the principal bedroom and landing. Outside, the property has a split-level garden with lawn, a decked seating area, mature planting and a stone-built pizza oven. Gated hardstanding provides off-road parking, and a detached stone garage incorporates a workshop. Planning permission was granted in 2022 for a single-storey extension, including a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom, but is now lapsed. Any future proposal would require planning checks and approval. The house is accessed from Low Lane via a shared driveway and is within reach of Queensbury’s shops and services, with Halifax, Brighouse and Bradford accessible by road.

Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This is a characterful stone-built detached home with exposed beams, stone fireplaces and several usable living spaces, set in a substantial established garden with gated parking and rural views. At £208/sq ft, the asking price is modestly below the local average, which supports the value case; the light renovation range of £5,000–£12,000 leaves scope to refresh traditional finishes while keeping the home’s period character. The overall opportunity is promising, though the numbers leave only a modest margin against the current local-average value estimate, rather than establishing a renovated resale value.

The detached stone garage/workshop adds useful flexibility, and the listing’s lapsed extension permission may be worth exploring through fresh planning checks. The photographed kitchen and bathroom appear functional, so this is more a selective updating project than a major overhaul.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh selected traditional décor and finishes while retaining the exposed beams, stonework and inglenook fireplaces.
  • Make the most of the substantial established garden, including its decked seating area, pizza oven and greenhouse.
  • Explore the utility or adaptation potential of the detached stone garage/workshop, subject to condition, title and permissions.
