Description

This unique smallholding presents a remarkable opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with significant potential for further development. Set within approximately five acres of adaptable land, the property features fenced paddocks, a hay meadow, and ample off-road parking. Originally built in 2005 and thoughtfully updated, this home marries rustic charm with modern amenities while also offering further possibilities for expansion or reconfiguration (pending necessary planning approvals). Inside, you will find an inviting entrance hall leading to a utility room and a spacious kitchen/dining area equipped with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor. The lounge benefits from west-facing views that frame stunning countryside vistas—ideal for enjoying sunsets. A total of three well-sized bedrooms is complemented by an en-suite shower room and family bathroom, alongside potential for a loft conversion to increase living space. The lower ground floor currently serves as a workshop but could easily be transformed into either part of the main residence or a self-contained annexe, perfect for rental income via platforms like Airbnb or as accommodation for guests or family members. The outdoor areas are equally impressive, featuring a versatile agricultural polytunnel suitable for horses and additional outbuildings including an animal shelter with access to water supply. The grounds are lushly bordered by mature trees and hedging, providing both beauty and privacy in this affluent area recognized as an SSSI wildlife zone—a true sanctuary for nature enthusiasts. With direct access to bridleways and forest trails, the setting is perfect for outdoor activities while still being conveniently located near Sowerby Bridge and Halifax. Residents can enjoy local amenities, schools, and transport links such as Sowerby Bridge train station just two miles away offering direct routes to major cities including Leeds and Manchester.
