Summary - DARKWOOD ING LANE HUDDERSFIELD HD7 5XA
5 bed 4 bath House
Spacious five-bedroom historic house with nearly an acre and sustainable systems.
Five generous bedrooms and four bathrooms with historic period features
Almost one acre of gardens, polytunnel, raised beds and chicken run
Ground-source heat pump, solar panels, borehole water and septic tank
Panoramic Colne Valley views from principal reception rooms
Grade II listed — restrictions on alterations and potential consent delays
EPC exempt because of listed status; specialist maintenance likely required
Double garage/workshop, private gravel drive, off-street parking for several cars
Access via narrow farm lane and private track; not ideal for large deliveries
Set amid the Colne Valley hills, this Grade II listed five-bedroom detached house combines historic character with modern, low-carbon systems. The restored interior showcases exposed beams, flagged stone floors, a large farmhouse-style kitchen with a 4-oven Aga, and generous reception rooms arranged across multiple storeys. Large mullioned windows frame panoramic valley views and flood the house with light.
The almost one-acre plot includes sweeping landscaped lawns, productive growing areas (polytunnel, raised beds, chicken run), outbuildings and a double garage/workshop. Practical systems include a ground-source heat pump, ground-mounted solar panels, borehole water supply and septic drainage—excellent for self-sufficient living but requiring specialist servicing. Off-street parking and a private gravel driveserve the property.
Important considerations: the property is Grade II listed, which restricts alterations and may complicate extension or modernization plans. The EPC is exempt due to listed status. Council Tax is in band E (above average). Access is via a narrow farm lane and private track, which may be less convenient for frequent large deliveries or very large vehicles.
This home suits a family or buyer seeking a character country residence with strong sustainability credentials and substantial land. It will particularly appeal to those who value privacy, productive gardens and long-range valley views, while accepting the responsibilities of listed ownership and rural access.
