Set within approx. 3.36 acres of grazing land on the Pennine moors, Higher Murgatshaw Farm is a Grade II listed 17th‑century stone farmhouse that combines historic character with recently completed sympathetic renovation. Four double bedrooms are arranged across two wings, including a vaulted master suite with en‑suite; multiple reception rooms, a bespoke shaker kitchen with multi‑fuel AGA, and a stone cellar give the house flexible family living and entertaining space. The detached home office and traditional stables add practical outbuildings for working from home, hobby equestrian use or workshop space.
The setting is a standout: sweeping Calderdale valley views, raised decking and manicured gardens create private outdoor rooms, while a long sweeping driveway and dry stone walls frame the courtyard. Despite the remote-feel location, local amenities in Hebden Bridge are a short drive away and there is an hourly bus service; Colden School and other well‑rated primary schools serve the area.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed, which preserves historic features but will restrict alterations and may complicate future extension or conversion works. Heating is oil‑fired with a boiler and radiators; the stone walls are original with no assumed cavity insulation. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average. The barn and stables have scope for conversion but will require planning and listed‑building considerations.
This property suits buyers seeking a substantial, characterful family home or a smallholding lifestyle: those who value provenance, rural space and panoramic views, and who understand the additional responsibilities and costs that come with owning a listed farmhouse and large grounds.
