Shelf Hall Lane, Shelf, Halifax

Broad Ings Farm offers a unique opportunity to acquire a characterful farmhouse set on a substantial site of approximately one acre in Shelf. This property presents significant potential for sensitive conversion and extension, with the possibility of creating two separate dwellings or incorporating it into a thoughtfully designed courtyard-style development, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consent. The site has an established residential planning history, including a previous scheme for ten properties. More recently, a planning application was submitted for the demolition of the existing farmhouse and the construction of nine new dwellings; however, this application was withdrawn after the local planning authority identified the farmhouse as a heritage asset. While the farmhouse is not a statutorily listed building, its heritage significance must be carefully considered in any future planning application. A sensitively designed scheme that retains and incorporates the existing building may represent the most appropriate approach to the site. Broad Ings Farm is ideal for small developers, self-builders, or families looking to create an attractive residential development. Subject to planning, there may be potential to provide approximately two to four dwellings within a courtyard-style arrangement while retaining the farmhouse. Plans related to previous development proposals are available upon request. Interested parties are encouraged to make their own enquiries with the relevant local planning authority regarding any development, conversion, extension, or change of use, as these would be subject to obtaining all necessary permissions and approvals. The property is being offered for sale by informal tender, with interested parties invited to submit their best offers. The closing date is yet to be confirmed and is anticipated to fall within the next six to eight weeks.
