Description

This detached stone-built house in Shepley has six bedrooms and accommodation arranged over four levels. The listing describes a substantial modernisation and refurbishment project, with the scale of the work reflected in the asking price. The property is set within a plot stated to extend to approximately 0.52 acres and has separate access from Highfield Court and Holmfirth Road. The ground floor includes a lounge with dual-aspect sash windows and an open-grate fireplace, a large dining room opening to a conservatory, and a dining kitchen with an AGA. A wet room is also on this level. The lower ground floor contains a wine cellar, wash kitchen and boiler room. On the first floor are four bedrooms and a bathroom, while the second floor has two further bedrooms. The listing also describes a dressing room that could potentially be adapted as an en suite, subject to any required consents. Outside, the property has a rear courtyard, a large garage and extensive gardens to the front and side. The listing notes that the plot may offer scope for an extension or a separate dwelling, subject to local authority approval. Any development potential would need to be assessed and verified independently.

Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £650,000, this substantial stone-built six-bedroom house is priced below the local average per square foot, giving buyers a stronger starting point for a project. The dated but usable living spaces, old-fashioned kitchen and bathroom finishes, and deteriorated, stained finishes on the lower-ground floor leave clear scope to modernise; the existing renovation range is £42,000–£72,000. The maintained extensive gardens, generous plot and apparently intact stone exterior add to the appeal, while the possible extension or separate-dwelling route is subject to approval and remains unverified.

Key opportunities

  • Modernise the old-fashioned kitchen and dated bathroom finishes, alongside redecorating and updating flooring across the usable living spaces.
  • Make the most of the extensive maintained gardens and generous 0.52-acre plot around this imposing stone-built house.
  • Investigate the stated possibility of extending the house or creating a separate dwelling, subject to local authority approval.

Key risks

  • Lower-ground-floor walls and ceilings show deterioration and staining; the extent and cause should be checked during inspection.
