Set within about 0.9 acre in the semi-rural hamlet of Goose Eye, this substantial five-bedroom detached home offers generous living proportions and flexible space for family life or investment. High ceilings, large sash-style windows and a blend of period character and modern rooms create a bright, airy interior. At nearly 2,972 sq ft the house provides separate living and dining rooms, a social kitchen and a second lounge — layouts that suit entertaining, multi-generational households or rental conversion.
Outside, extensive gardens, stone terraces and open lawns provide varied outdoor rooms and long views across the valley. Two detached garages include a large 64 sq m building already with power and water — practical for vehicles and ripe for conversion to an annex, studio or home office (subject to consents). A private driveway fits up to twelve cars, an unusual convenience for large households or visitors.
Buyers should note a few material considerations. The property sits in an area with higher recorded crime and very high local deprivation indices; council tax is described as expensive and the EPC is currently TBC. The house is a historic converted mill and, while full of character, may need ongoing specialist maintenance and sensitive updating in places. Broadband speeds are fast and flood risk is low, supporting both home-working and family life.
This home will suit families seeking space and character in a rural setting, and investors or developers attracted to conversion potential and large plot size. Its combination of scale, flexible buildings and setting in Brontë Country presents strong lifestyle or redevelopment possibilities, provided buyers factor maintenance, local area conditions and running costs into their plans.
