This attractive detached home in Brearley combines generous family space with striking valley views and recent high-spec renovations. The heart of the house is a large south-facing open-plan kitchen, dining and living area that opens onto a sun terrace with a new glass balustrade — ideal for family entertaining and relaxed outdoor living. The property benefits from a comprehensive renovation including a new roof, full rewire, new central heating and modern bathrooms and kitchen.
Flexibility is a key strength. The property provides three good bedrooms plus a snug that can serve as a fourth bedroom, and a self-contained guest suite/annexe that could suit extended family or short-term rental. Energy upgrades — solar panels installed in 2024 with attic battery storage — reduce running costs and add appeal for eco-conscious buyers. A private water supply is in place and contributes to the home’s independence.
Outside, landscaped gardens across three levels, water features, an impressive greenhouse and a garden room above the garage create multiple family-use spaces. The double garage with a German roller door, off-street parking for several cars, and excellent broadband and mobile signal make the house practical for modern family life. Local schools rated Good are within easy reach and Mytholmroyd station provides rail links for commuters.
Notable practical points: the property’s main heating is oil-fired boiler and radiators; the original sandstone walls are assumed to have no built-in insulation; and the private water supply and battery system will require ongoing maintenance. There is also an above-average local crime rate to consider when comparing locations. Overall, the house offers a rare combination of renovated period character, flexible accommodation and strong outdoor amenities for family buyers prepared to manage the building’s traditional features.
