The Coach House, Cragg Vale

Tucked away in the picturesque and historic village of Cragg Vale, this exquisitely restored Coach House offers a wonderful blend of character, comfort, and convenience. A rare opportunity to own a property of this calibre, with stunning award-winning gardens, a charming summerhouse, breathtaking valley views from every window and a welcome southerly aspect. Combining the tranquillity of countryside living with exceptional connectivity to urban centres, this home is a true sanctuary for those seeking both beauty and practicality.

As you step through the double doors at the entrance, you are greeted by a spacious and light-filled hallway that sets the tone for the rest of the home. The lounge is a wonderfully welcoming space filled with warmth and charm, featuring high A-frame beams, a stone fireplace with an inset multi-fuel stove, and triple-aspect windows that flood the space with natural light. Every window frames a snapshot of the surrounding landscape.

The kitchen is a chef's delight, designed with handmade mahogany cabinets, Italian granite worktops, and modern appliances including space for an American fridge freezer. A thoughtfully placed breakfast bar provides the perfect spot for morning coffee while enjoying views over the lush gardens. Just off the kitchen, the raised dining area offers an elegant setting for both casual family meals and more formal entertaining. From here, the large twin-aspect windows offer a stunning panorama of the surrounding landscape.

With four well-proportioned bedrooms, each offering a serene retreat, this home ensures ample space for relaxation. The primary suite is an attractive haven, complete with a dressing room, fitted wardrobes, and a stylish en-suite with a bath, separate shower. The second and third bedrooms are equally inviting, benefiting from large windows to view the valley's beauty. Bedroom two also benefits from direct access to a pleasant patio. The fourth bedroom, located on the lower level, enjoys direct access to the rear of the property, making it an ideal guest suite or potential for an additional self-contained living space. Formerly a second lounge, this versatile room presents significant potential as a games room or home cinema, offering complete flexibility.

A carefully curated selection of additional rooms enhances the versatility of this home. A study space on the mid level landing provides a quiet nook for remote work or creative endeavours. The utility room offers extensive storage and functionality, while also doubling as a gym or playroom if desired. A conveniently located cloakroom on the main level ensures added convenience for guests.

Outside, the gardens are nothing short of extraordinary. Spanning approximately 0.7 acres, they have been lovingly designed around a south-facing summerhouse and ornamental pond, which was once a swimming pool and could be converted back if desired. Rising lawns and specimen trees lead to a bountiful walled fruit and vegetable garden, complete with apple, pear, plum, and greengage trees. A greenhouse, potting shed and traditional shed all add to the convenience of this productive garden. An upper seating area, positioned beside a natural spring, provides a tranquil spot to take in sweeping valley views. On the north side of the garden, a conservation area nurtures local wildlife, including hedgehogs, deer and even bats. This wonderfully designed garden is a true delight earning it a Yorkshire Wildlife Trust award in 2023.

On to practical matters – all of the essentials are in place: the roof and chimney have been attended to and the doors and windows are in excellent condition. The property benefits from a recently fitted electricity consumer unit and a boiler installed approximately four years ago. The property is connected to all mains services with the added advantage of a spring water supply in the garden, perfect for garden irrigation.

The double garage features an electric door, complemented by parking space for three to four cars. A monitored alarm system provides extra security.

Despite its idyllic setting, this home is wonderfully connected. Just a 25-minute walk to Mytholmroyd train station and close to regular bus routes, it offers easy access to Leeds, Manchester, and beyond. The M62 is easily reached via Milnrow or Elland, making commutes and travel effortless. The thriving cultural hub of Hebden Bridge, with its independent shops, vibrant arts scene and community spirit, is just a stone's throw away. The property is in the catchment for some of the best educational establishments in the locality including Crossley Heath School and Greenhead College which are both well-served by direct bus links.
