Lofthouse Farm is a handsome 1870s detached farmhouse set high above Leeds Road, offering generous, characterful living space for a family seeking countryside privacy without sacrificing commuter convenience. The home feels lived-in and loved, with exposed beams, feature fireplaces and a bespoke handmade oak kitchen at its heart. Four double bedrooms all face scenic farmland, creating a calm, rural bedroom aspect throughout.
Externally the plot is a major asset: a large private garden, a beautifully designed outdoor living kitchen with seating and log burner, a detached double garage with electric doors and parking for up to six vehicles. Behind the garage are two substantial former stable rooms now used as storage/office/gym — flexible spaces that suit hobbyists or home-working parents. The sellers have secured their next purchase and an outline planning application for a 900 sq ft single-storey, 3-bed bungalow has been submitted, offering clear scope for expansion or multigenerational accommodation.
Practical points are straightforward and should be considered. Broadband speeds are reported as slow in this location. The stone walls are original sandstone and assumed to lack insulation, which may mean higher heating demand and scope for improvement. Council tax is above average. The property is freehold, served by mains gas boiler and radiators, and sits within easy reach of the M1/M62 and local rail links for commuting.
This is a rare opportunity for a family who values period character, generous indoor and outdoor living and future extension potential. Buyers looking for a largely turnkey period home will appreciate the bespoke kitchen and entertaining garden; buyers wanting modern thermal performance may plan targeted upgrades (wall insulation, broadband improvements) to suit long-term comfort and running costs.
