Description

HISTORIC FARMHOUSE WITH TWO-BED ANNEXE, GARDENS, AND GREENBELT SURROUNDINGS

Dating back to 1751, The Gatehouse is a beautifully converted former dairy farm that combines period charm with a sleek, modern interior. Link-detached, the property offers a versatile layout with a three-bedroom main house and an adjoining two-bedroom annexe – currently run as a successful Airbnb. Set amidst greenbelt land with far-reaching views, this unique home provides a rare opportunity for multigenerational living, home-working or income potential, all within a private yet well-connected location.

THE MAIN HOUSE (THE GATEHOUSE)
The main farmhouse offers a striking blend of history and contemporary design.

KITCHEN DINER
The heart of the home is a bold kitchen diner, contrasting straight lines with flowing curves. Features include a curved breakfast bar with tiled pillars, integrated appliances (Hotpoint oven, Bosch microwave, extractor), fireplace, and garden views.

CELLAR
Fully tanked and versatile, the cellar currently houses a gym, walk-in storage cupboard, and two smaller store rooms.

THE ANNEXE (THE GATEHOUSE COTTAGE)
Designed with accessibility in mind, the annexe offers its own independent entrance and a thoughtful layout across two floors. The dual-aspect lounge diner is filled with natural light and features French doors opening onto the patio, which has an external plug socket. The kitchen is well-equipped with fitted cabinetry, an oven, four-ring gas hob, and extractor.

The principal bedroom, positioned on the ground floor, includes a modern ensuite wet room with seat, handrails and heated towel rail. Upstairs, a cosy double bedroom enjoys views across the garden and surrounding greenbelt land, served by a stylish family bathroom with bath, shower over, recessed shelving, and heated towel rail.

With level access, a low threshold entrance, and the option to purchase fully furnished, the annexe is perfectly suited for multigenerational living or as an ongoing Airbnb designed with accessibility in mind.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS
The Gatehouse is approached via an easement from the main road, leading to a flagged driveway with space for up to four cars. The garden is a delightful mix of lawn and stone-flagged patios with uplighting, offering sun throughout the day thanks to its south-facing aspect.

Shared with The Gatehouse Cottage, the lawned garden is framed by mature trees and shrubs, with uninterrupted greenbelt fields creating a tranquil, countryside setting. A useful shed with a bike store adds practicality.

LOCATION
Tucked away in the sought-after village of Greetland, The Gatehouse and Cottage enjoy the peace of a semi-rural setting while remaining close to excellent local amenities, schools and commuter links. Halifax town centre, Huddersfield, and the M62 motorway are all easily accessible, making it a convenient base for professionals and families alike.
