A substantial 4-5 bedroom stone farmhouse and converted barn, situated in a rural hamlet with breathtaking views over the Pennines, yet just 10 minutes from the centre of Huddersfield with fast trains to Leeds and Manchester.

With three generous reception rooms this spacious family home dates back to the 18th century and has many period features including an inglenook fireplace, original beams and keeping cellar. The total floor area extends to 2,300 sq.ft. Linked to other properties, it is constructed of stone with a rendered rear wall and stone slate pitched roof. There is a double garage and a large landscaped garden of approximately one third of an acre, with formal borders, private sitting areas, vegetable and fruit plots, ponds and a woodland area that attracts a wide variety of wildlife.

The property enjoys exceptional open views to the front and rear, and is surrounded by green belt land designated ‘high landscape value', close to the historic Castle Hill.

On a bus route, but separated from the road by a long metalled drive, it is situated between the conservation villages of Almondbury and Farnley Tyas and within the catchment area for local reputable schools.

There is a large double aspect room over the garage, converted from a barn, currently used as a study, which would be suitable for a variety of uses.
