Quarry House, Quarryfields, Mirfield

Where town meets countryside, discover an utterly unique and historic home filled with warmth and welcome, offering space for a family to grow...

Stone built splendour

A prominent home along the lane, Quarry House stands proudly; a striking stone-built Victorian home, originally the quarry master's home at its time of construction in 1888. Perfectly poised for easy access to local schools and to both country walks and city amenities, Quarry House is an all-encompassing family home, offering the best of both worlds.

OWNER QUOTE: "We're in a quiet area which is ideal for families."

With parking for a vehicle on the recently installed Yorkshire stone paving, and space for another three or four vehicles on the grass area, there is also ample on-street parking available.

Reloved and renovated

Emanating period charm at first glance, Quarry House is a home whose traditional stone-built façade belies its easy flow, updated living within.

A home reloved and respectfully restored by its current owners, Quarry House has been the fortunate recipient of numerous upgrades under their tenure, whilst retaining its original charm.

Improvements have seen the installation of a new flat roof in 2023, a cellar conversion to create four new rooms on the lower level, alongside the excavation of a stairway to provide independent access to the cellar from the garden, for future proofing and potential rental of this section of the home as a self-contained apartment.

Rooms have been opened up, original York stone has been uncovered, walls have been replastered and a whole scheme of fresh décor has featured throughout.

Welcome home

From beneath the shelter of the portico, make your way indoors, via the zesty lemon-yellow front door, emerging into the entrance hall, where traditional monochrome tiles extend underfoot.

Spacious and homely, spy the beauty of the original features that can be found throughout Quarry House. On the right, light streams in through large windows to two sides in the formal dining room. A versatile space, this can also serve as a playroom, with wood flooring underfoot.

The heart of the home, step through into the warm and welcoming kitchen, whose handsome Yorkshire stone flagged floor was recently discovered and uncovered by the current owners, harmonising perfectly with the exposed brick inglenook, within which the oven and hob can be found, with extractor above.

Heart of the home

A sociable hub, offering incredible views out over the spacious garden, the kitchen is the heart of the home. Solid wood worktops offer ample preparation space, with plenty of storage available within the stone-coloured cabinetry.

OWNER QUOTE: "The children enjoy watching the squirrels in the garden."

Peace and quiet

Relax and unwind in the sitting room, where original wood floors dating back to 1888 have been restored to an exceptionally high standard. On winter evenings, snuggle up in front of the warmth from the wood-burning stove, nestled beneath its solid wood lintel, and sense the quiet calm of this tranquil room sooth your senses.

Overhead, a chandelier is neatly nestled within its original ceiling rose, with industrial wall lights adding a modern touch to the walls. Large windows frame views out to the garden.

Annex-tra level

Stairs lead down to the lower ground floor, where four modern, redesigned rooms await.

Currently configured as a bedroom, dressing room, utility room and shower room with shower, wash basin and WC, clean, contemporary décor and inset spotlighting create a modern feel on this level.

Consider the potential to create a self-contained annex on this basement level, with separate access through French doors to the garden, it could serve as ideal Airbnb accommodation, a den for older teens or a sophisticated cinema room and bar for the grown-ups.

And so to bed...

Returning to the ground floor, take the stone staircase from the rear of the home up to the first-floor landing, turning left to make your way to a large, light, double bedroom with traditional wood plank flooring, an ornamental fireplace and large window to the rear.

Next door on the left lies the family bathroom, partially tiled to the walls and floor and furnished in a contemporary fashion, with large bath containing overhead shower, vanity unit wash basin and WC. Lots of light streams in through an obscured glass window.

With pretty views out over the side garden, a further double bedroom with original wooden flooring lies to the other side of the bathroom. Bright and neutral in its décor, the high ceilings of this home are showcased to great effect in the upstairs bedrooms.

Sweet dreams

Directly across from the top of the stairs, bedroom four currently serves as a home office, with vistas out over the front garden. Note the handsome hardwood underfoot, stained to match the original flooring for a seamless flow upstairs and down.

A soporific sanctuary, sense the airiness and spaciousness of the master suite, whose double height ceiling amplifies the natural light flowing in through a large window framing views out over the leafy garden.

Character elements including the original ornamental fireplace, wood floors, chandelier and ceiling rose instil a traditional warmth in this warm and inviting bedroom. With storage concealed behind a door, there is also a private ensuite, where fitted furniture accommodates the wash basin and WC offering plenty of storage.

Sunshine, shelter and shade

Outdoors, entertain family and friends in the spacious wraparound garden, where the Yorkshire stone patio is the perfect space for an outdoor sofa, table and chairs.

Dine alfresco and invite family friends over for a barbecue. A garden so spacious, it once accommodated a wedding reception, there is more than enough space for paddling pools and hired bouncy castles for children's parties.

With vast swathes of lawn and mature planting, carpeted in daffodils and bluebells in spring time, summer adds a screen of privacy to the garden at Quarry House, where there is endless scope for hide and seek. Soak up the summer sun on the patio or seek shade beneath the boughs of the mature trees.

Safe and secure, a gated fence separates the side garden and front of the home, with a shed handy for storing your gardening essentials.

OWNER QUOTE: "The garden held 80 people comfortably for our wedding reception."

Quarry House also has had planning permission approved previously (now lapsed) for the construction of a three-bed detached dwelling over three floors on the adjacent plot of land, which could be equally as ideal as a double garage, work from home office or gym.
