Secluded family estate with woodland, development potential and smart security.
Over 4,200 sq ft in two wings, five bedrooms, four bathrooms
A rare, handsome five-bedroom detached house set within about 7.5 acres of private grounds and woodland, offering over 4,200 sq ft of flexible family accommodation across two wings. The home combines traditional stone character with high-end fittings: a large farmhouse kitchen with Aga and Bosch appliances, multiple reception rooms with a centrepiece fireplace, a principal suite with walk-in dressing room and four further bedrooms. Practical spaces include a separate laundry room, walk-in pantry, utility, and a self-contained home office with private access, ideal for remote working or a small business.
Outside, mature gardens, neat lawns, a natural pond and a patio with hot tub provide a variety of private spaces, while a double-gated, double-ended driveway and a fully alarmed detached stone garage add security and parking convenience. The estate also includes three derelict stone cottages with development potential subject to planning (STPP) and historical planning activity on site, offering an opportunity for someone with vision. Smart and security features such as CCTV, alarm system and Sonos are already installed.
Important practical points: the cottages are derelict and would need substantial work and planning consent to develop. The property sits in a medium flood-risk area — buyers should obtain flood-insurance advice. Broadband speeds are slow locally and mobile signal is average, which may affect home-working without additional solutions. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The house is peaceful and semi-isolated yet within a ten-minute walk of Ripponden shops, pubs and well-regarded schools, making it a strong family proposition for those who value space and countryside privacy.
