Set into the hillside above West Slaithwaite, this detached period house includes a 4-bedroom main residence plus an attached 1-bedroom cottage, all sold with no onward chain. The site enjoys stunning panoramic countryside views and plenty of outdoor space: large gardens, off-street parking and a double garage give scope for family life and practical storage.
The buildings require a programme of modernisation throughout — living areas show period features such as exposed beams and a traditional fireplace but are dated and will benefit from updating. Energy ratings are low (Band G and F) and the sandstone/limestone walls likely lack modern insulation; expect refurbishment costs to improve comfort and running costs.
The one-bedroom cottage offers flexible use as a granny/teen annexe, teenage retreat or lettable Airbnb, providing extra accommodation or income potential. Note the property overlooks a railway line and broadband speeds are very slow, which may affect working-from-home or streaming for some buyers.
This is a strong opportunity for a family or buyer looking to renovate a character home in an affluent rural village setting. With careful investment the house and cottage could be transformed into a comfortable, efficient family home while preserving the period charm and capitalising on the panoramic views.
