Description

A stone built detached farmhouse which occupies a stunning rural setting in approximately 4.58 acres of grounds. It has been extensively renovated by our clients to a high standard to create a welcoming 4 bedroom home, there is yet further potential to convert lower ground floor subject to the next owners needs.

About Hey Lane Farm

The original property is believed to date back to the 1850s and was originally a farm cottage with attached barn. It is of traditional stone built construction beneath a pitched stone slate roof. Our clients purchase the property in 1991 and have carried out extensive renovations, extending into the barn to create a comfortable family home over the two upper floors of the building. Beneath this there is a lower ground floor level made up of 3 wonderful vaulted cellars which offer further potential to repurpose depending upon the needs of the next owner.

The property occupies a little known lane in a rural setting and enjoys picturesque valley views over its own land and beyond. Whilst the location is rural, it is extremely convenient, placed close to the boundaries of Huddersfield and Halifax and within easy access of the M62 Motorway.

There is an entrance porch at the front of the house which opens into a lobby area with staircase to the first floor and a further door into the dining kitchen. This has a traditional farmhouse feel with a rustic brick fireplace, painted units with matching island unit and windows to 2 sides enjoying the views. Adjacent to the kitchen is dining room / snug which features a beautiful arched barn window to the front. A further door from here leads to the lounge which also features windows enjoying the views and chimney breast with brick fireplace and log burning stove.

On the first floor, a long landing area extends across the front of the building providing access to the 4 good sized bedrooms. These all feature various exposed roof timbers and have windows to the rear enjoying the views. They are served by the wonderful house bathroom which has a quality modern 4 piece suite.

Downstairs, at lower ground floor level are the 3 large vaulted cellars, all of which have excellent ceiling height and windows to the rear. The first floor is accessed via stairs from the kitchen and is currently used as a gym and has an enclosed WC in the corner of the room. The next is a utility room, housing the central heating boiler and having an entrance door to the rear. The 3rd cellar room is accessed from the large double garage extension at the side of the house and is used for storage.

The property has hardwood double glazed windows throughout and features exposed beams and stone details alongside quality modern fittings. There is an oil fired central heating system. It is connected to mains water and electricity with drainage to a modern type septic tank within the grounds.

Externally it is accessed via a gateway lower down Hey Lane which splits in two – the upper level leading to a large parking area at the side of the garage. The lower level leads to a yard area where our clients park their farm machinery. There is also a wooden clad livestock building / stable here. Beyond this, the grazing land slopes down into the valley where Red Lane Dyke runs through the bottom of the site.

Around the curtilage of the house there are stone paved areas to the front, side and rear. A further garden area extends to the side providing the perfect place to enjoy the valley views.

Our clients have onward plans in place and are able to offer an upper chain free sale.
