Longley House, Butterworth End Lane, Norland, Sowerby Bridge, West Yorkshire, HX6

Charming and Handsome period property in over 2 acres of its own grounds, located right at the edge of Norland Moor with stunning panoramic views from every aspect.
Originally built by the Round Table in 1937 as the Halifax Children's  Holiday Home where it was in continuous use until 1980.  The property has since been converted into two unique and substantial dwellings.
Retaining many of the original features yet incorporating modern conveniences throughout.  Large windows create bright and airy feel whilst also providing amazing views from every room.
Modern touches like the fitted kitchen, downstairs wc and utility and downstairs study (or 5th bedroom) ensure 21st century living is catered for. The log burning stove, exposed original floorboards and high ceiling echo back to the original use of the home and sit comfortably with the more recent upgrades.
Outside is equally impressive and on an even larger scale.  Attractive automatic gates open to a large, sweeping front drive providing ample parking.  The grounds stretch approximately 2 acres, with well maintained fields, mature trees and stone patio areas.  The hot tub stands to the southwest elevation providing far reaching views and all day sunshine (Yorkshire weather permitting!)
Of course this space is extremely versatile and would provide excellent grazing land, a cottage garden perhaps, or simply an amazing playground for kids and adults alike. Wonderful.
