Character cottage on a substantial plot; ideal for an experienced renovator.
Large plot of approx. quarter acre with far-reaching valley views
Set high on the Holmfirth hillside, this stone-built three-bedroom cottage sits in a large plot of around a quarter acre with far-reaching valley views. Traditional features include exposed beams, mullion windows, stone-flagged floors and a working Yorkshire range that give the house strong period character and scope to create a striking finished home.
The accommodation currently offers a generous farmhouse kitchen/diner, lounge, conservatory, three first-floor bedrooms and a shower room. The building is chain free and presents a clear redevelopment opportunity: the footprint, plot size and elevated position all support potential extension or reconfiguration (subject to planning and consents).
The property is a project: it requires comprehensive modernisation throughout and the stone walls are believed to have no insulation. Internal systems, finishes and the garden/outbuildings will need investment; broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal. Buyers should budget for a full refurbishment to bring heating, electrics and windows up to modern standards.
For a buyer experienced with renovation or an investor targeting value uplift, this cottage offers rare plot size and countryside outlook within easy reach of Holmfirth amenities and good local schools. The rural setting and period features are the main draw, balanced by clear renovation costs and the need to confirm any redevelopment plans with the local authority.
