Situated in an elevated position with outstanding Pennine views, this detached 3/4 bedroom farmhouse and separate large barn with planning permission for conversion to a spacious 4 bedroom house offer a rare opportunity for development in this popular rural area. The farmhouse and detached barn stand in approximately 2 acres of garden and field in an open location only three miles from Halifax town centre. They are ideally situated for good primary and secondary schools and offer good commuting access to Leeds (approx 20 miles), Huddersfield (approx 10 miles) and Manchester (approx 30 miles) via the rail and motorway networks. The house, reputedly of mid-18th century origin, includes 2/3 reception rooms and 3/4 bedrooms, and has been modernised and tastefully decorated. It has oil-fired central heating, and uPVC double-glazed windows throughout, plus uPVC exterior doors. Subject to any necessary regulations or permissions, it offers further scope to extend into the former dairy, making a granny/teenage flat or office. There is also a separate stone built double garage which may be suitable for possible development. The house is surrounded on three sides by mature gardens with flowerbeds, shrubs, lawns, fruit bushes and vegetable growing area, and with open fields to the fourth side. It enjoys breathtaking panoramic views of the Calder valley and Luddenden Dean. The spacious detached barn is thought to be of 17th century origin and is grade 2 listed. It is built of stone with a magnificent timber frame and detailed planning permission has been granted to convert the building into an imposing country house with its own entrance drive and paddock.
