Summary - UPPER SALTONSTALL, HALIFAX, WAINSTALLS HX2 7TR
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious five-bedroom farmhouse with extensive gardens and grazing land, ideal for family life.
- Grade II listed stone house dating from 1604
Built in 1604 and Grade II listed, Upper Saltonstall is a large stone family home set in the Luddenden Dene Valley with panoramic valley views. The house combines well-preserved period features — exposed beams, stone mullion windows, a bespoke oak staircase and a multifuel burner — with practical modern comforts such as an AGA (also supplying hot water) and underfloor heating in the wet room. The layout includes two reception rooms, five double bedrooms and three bathrooms across approximately 3,192 sq ft.
Externally the property is generous: south-facing, well-stocked gardens, a private driveway with parking for five cars and a substantial double garage. Approximately 5.52 acres of grazing land adjoin the plot, and a stone outbuilding currently used for storage offers conversion potential to an annex or holiday let subject to the correct planning consents. Broadband and mobile signals are reported as fast and excellent respectively, and flood risk is low.
The Grade II listing and historic fabric are core strengths but will limit alterations and require specialist consents and maintenance appropriate to a listed building. Council tax is noted as quite expensive, and any purchaser should budget for ongoing upkeep of an older property and the grounds. While the outbuilding presents an income or ancillary-use opportunity, conversions will need planning approval and listed-building consideration.
This property will suit a family seeking an established period home in a rural yet well-connected valley location, buyers wanting land and privacy, or purchasers prepared to manage the responsibilities of a listed building. It also has potential appeal to someone seeking a holiday-let income stream if planning approvals are obtained.
