Shield Hall Lane, Sowerby, Sowerby Bridge, West Yorkshire, HX6

Calling all nature lovers and aspiring smallholders!

This traditional stone semi detached house has plenty of room for multi generational living and comes with seven acres of land. Despite its idyllic location it is not isolated, with local pubs, shops and a church in walking distance; a short drive to Sowerby Bridge and Mytholmroyd stations; and only fifteen minutes into Hebden Bridge. Walking routes out of the front door take you up on the tops or down to the canal.

Externally the land comprises of two fields suitable for grazing or equestrian interest, currently managed as traditional hay meadows full of wildflowers. There is also woodland, bordered by Boulder Clough, with the sound of running water and birdsong providing the most calming backdrop. It could be enjoyed for leisure or be developed as a business opportunity, subject to relevant permissions.

Several outbuildings add further to the property exterior, including a barn, workshop, tractor shed, tack rooms and coal sheds. These could be adapted to suit individual needs from keeping animals, to home business use, or simply for storage. There is a vegetable plot and greenhouse, which could be expanded for fully self sufficient living. The glass panelled deck is a perfect spot for enjoying the far reaching views of the rolling countryside and a chance to spot the resident swallows in the summer. Solar panels provide a source of income and there is parking for several cars.

Internally there is space in abundance alongside picture perfect views from the windows that let the light pour in. Formerly a cottage and a barn, the house offers flexibility and could be configured to accommodate a multi generational family with options for self contained living; for home business opportunities; or as a family home with impressive entertaining potential. It has a fully fitted kitchen, three/ four bedrooms, a downstairs WC, family bathroom, two/ three reception rooms and a cellar. The highlight is the hallway with its huge arch window and mezzanine staircase to the main reception area, with a beamed ceiling and breathtaking valley views.
