- Rear garden with rustic landscaping and countryside views
- Potential annexe conversion subject to planning permission
- Stone-built period property; likely no wall insulation

Set in a peaceful hamlet just outside Sowerby Bridge, this four-bedroom end-terrace offers generous living across four floors and a private, rustic rear garden with far-reaching views. The main living rooms include a front lounge with outlook and a lower-ground reception that opens directly to the garden, creating flexible family layouts and potential for separate living space.
Built before 1900, the property retains period sandstone character but will suit a buyer prepared to update. The home is double glazed with gas central heating and a wood-burning option, while walls are likely uninsulated and broadband speeds are very slow — important for anyone who works from home. The lower-ground level could be converted into a self-contained annexe subject to planning, offering rental or multi-generational potential.
Practical positives include no flood risk, excellent mobile signal, accessible local schools (including an outstanding primary) and easy road and rail links into Leeds and Manchester. Drawbacks to note: small plot size, probable need for insulation/upgrades, multi-storey layout with stairs, and limited broadband performance. Overall this is a character property with scope for modernisation and income potential in a sought-after rural setting.
