A note from the owner
For almost 125 years Northroyd has been a warm, impressive family home for the many
people who have lived here. We feel privileged to have made it home for our young
children and have enjoyed the many ways in which the building enables 'the good life' in
all seasons. In Spring the garden is a riot of blossom from the mature cherry trees while
the sunsets through the west facing kitchen window are ever changing. In Summer the
garden is the perfect place to get friends round for a BBQ and the kids love playing out
all season. When Autumn arrives we've always looked forward to lighting the fire for the
first time and getting cosy, such that when Winter lands the house is always a haven to
return to after a walk across the fields. Were it not for work and other life commitments
we would not be moving house. We truly love this place and hope to find someone else
who will feel the same.
