Summary - BENT KNOWLE WIDDOP HEBDEN BRIDGE HX7 7AT
7 bed 4 bath Detached
Substantial Grade II listed barn with cottage annexe, large gardens and sweeping countryside views.
Grade II listed 17th–18th century stone buildings with extensive period features
Set on rising ground with uninterrupted countryside views, this Grade II listed stone property combines 17th–18th century character with generous, flexible living space. The main barn conversion offers formal reception rooms, an oak-fitted kitchen, a galleried landing and multiple bedrooms, while the attached cottage provides an independent three-bedroom suite suitable as an annexe or holiday let. Landscaped lawns, mature specimen trees and extensive paddocks surround the buildings, with parking for six plus cars accessed via a long gated driveway.
The layout suits a large family seeking privacy and flexible accommodation, or a buyer looking for ancillary income from a self-contained cottage/holiday let. The barn already includes a secondary kitchen and ground-floor rooms that could be made self-contained with a lockable outside door. The vendor is also offering the barn and cottage as separate lots (Barn £700,000; Cottage £500,000), providing purchase flexibility.
Buyers should note the practical constraints alongside the strengths. The Grade II listing restricts alterations and may complicate extensions or significant modernisation. Services are traditional: private water and septic drainage, oil-fired heating and an LPG hob; there is no gas. Broadband speeds are very slow despite good mobile signal. Council Tax is Band F, reflecting the size and running costs. Although recently renovated, prospective purchasers are advised to commission surveys and check listed-building consent requirements before committing.
Overall this is a rare rural offering: a substantial, character-rich home with annexe potential, generous grounds and strong privacy, best suited to families, buyers wanting holiday-let potential, or those prepared to manage listed-building obligations.
