Old Mount Road, Marsden, Huddersfield, HD7

The Old Gatehouse is a Grade II Listed detached property steeped in history, originally consisting of two cottages from the late 1700s/early 1800s. Nestled in a picturesque semi-rural setting with impressive views of surrounding countryside and Butterley Reservoir, this residence offers significant renovation potential. The extensive plot spans 0.7 acres and includes off-road parking, sprawling gardens, and a semi-derelict stone barn—ripe for conversion or redevelopment into an additional dwelling or annexe (subject to planning approval). Inside, the property retains charming original features including stone mullioned windows, exposed beams, and multi-fuel stoves that add character to the living spaces. The main house comprises five well-proportioned bedrooms along with versatile ancillary rooms that could be repurposed. With mains services already available—a rarity for properties in such scenic locations—the groundwork is laid for modern upgrades to the kitchen and bathrooms that could maximize both comfort and value. Outside, the large terrace provides an excellent space for entertaining under those captivating views. This property's unique layout and historical significance make it an intriguing investment opportunity for those looking to create a bespoke family home or capitalize on its potential as a dual-living space.
