Set high on the edge of the Shibden Valley, 10 Blake Hill End Farm is a substantial six-bedroom detached home with strong period character and panoramic countryside views. Stone mullion windows, exposed beams and original fireplaces give the house authentic charm, while generous rooms and multiple reception spaces suit large families or guests. The farmhouse kitchen and adjacent utility are practical for daily life and informal entertaining.
The property offers extensive outbuildings: a large stone barn with clear conversion potential (subject to necessary consents), a double garage and parking for around ten cars. Two games rooms — one with a bar and a fireplace — plus a detached summerhouse with decking and hot tub provide flexible living and entertaining spaces and scope to add value.
Buyers should note a handful of practical limitations. The house dates from before 1900 and the stone walls are assumed to lack modern insulation, which will affect heating costs. There are only two bathrooms for six double bedrooms, and council tax is high (Band G). Any barn conversion would require planning and building consents before work can begin.
This is a rare hilltop offering for buyers seeking rural character with good commuter access to Halifax and nearby rail links. It will particularly suit families who value space, views and adaptable accommodation, or investors/developers able to manage renovation and consenting for the barn conversion.
