Summary - HX3 7UL HX3 7UL
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Huge period home with barn development potential and optional two acres of grazing.
Five-bedroom detached period house with extensive reception rooms
Selby House is a rare, detached period residence dating back to 1485, set in the heart of Shibden Valley. The house offers substantial family living with five bedrooms, multiple reception rooms including a grand hall, library and games room, and a large kitchen/diner — ideal for household socialising and entertaining. The plot is very large with mature gardens, private off-street parking and raised beds for productive planting.
There is clear potential for sensitive upgrading and redevelopment: an attached/nearby derelict barn/stables and a former swimming pool are available by separate negotiation and may suit conversion or redevelopment (suitable for a developer or buyer wanting additional accommodation). Grazing land of up to approximately two acres is also optionally available for equestrian or smallholding use.
Buyers should note practical considerations: parts of the outbuildings are derelict and will require investment to make usable; the property will likely need modernisation and services have not been tested. Broadband speeds are very slow locally, council tax is relatively high (Band G) and the surrounding area records higher-than-average crime levels. A professional survey is advised before purchase.
This home will suit a family seeking historic character, space and countryside seclusion, or a buyer with development knowledge wanting to capitalise on the additional land and buildings. Internal viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale and layout firsthand.
