Set privately within about 7.5 acres, this substantial stone house offers more than 4,200 sq ft of flexible living across two wings — ideal for a growing family seeking space, privacy and countryside life within easy walking distance of Ripponden. Dual reception rooms, a games area with a centrepiece fireplace and a generous farmhouse kitchen with Aga and integrated Bosch appliances create a warm, practical heart for everyday life and entertaining. A versatile home office with separate access suits regular remote working or a small business.
Outside, the plot is a standout: neat lawns, a patio with hot tub, a natural pond and large areas of private woodland and riverside. A gated double-ended driveway and an alarmed detached stone garage offer secure parking and storage. Three derelict stone cottages within the grounds present development potential subject to planning consent (STPP), though previous applications were historic and permission is not guaranteed.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important: the property is freehold with mains services connected and has CCTV and a Sonos system already installed. There is a medium flooding risk for the area, broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average — factors to weigh if home working relies on fast connectivity. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Overall this is a rare, characterful family estate with immediate liveability and longer-term scope for renovation or redevelopment for those prepared to manage planning and upkeep.
