Emsley Farm is a traditional early 19th-century farmhouse set on a very large plot on Hartshead Lane, offering classic stone character with modern comforts. The house provides five bedrooms, three bathrooms and three generous reception rooms centred around a breakfast kitchen with an AGA and underfloor heating – a layout well suited to family life and entertaining.
The setting is semi-rural with easy access to countryside walks yet within commuting distance of Huddersfield and Leeds via the nearby M62. Practical features include a gated pebbled driveway, detached double garage with storage above, multiple external taps and plentiful parking. The property is offered chain free, which will suit buyers looking for a faster move.
Important practical points: the property is not connected to mains drainage and relies on private drainage arrangements. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow and the stone walls are assumed to have no built-in insulation, which could mean higher running costs and possible retrofit work. Council tax is noted as expensive. These are important considerations for ongoing costs and any renovation planning.
For a family wanting a character home with substantial outdoor space and flexible living rooms, Emsley Farm presents a rare combination of traditional features (exposed beams, stone fireplaces) and useful modern comforts (boiler-fed heating, underfloor heating in parts, mains gas). Buyers seeking immediate low-maintenance connectivity or low utilities should factor in the drainage, insulation and broadband limitations when considering this home.
