Scholes Lane, Scholes, Cleckheaton

A RARE SANCTUARY OF HISTORY, LUXURY, AND PRIVACY

Set within approximately 8.37 acres of formal gardens and grazing land, Oldfield Nook is a magnificent Grade II listed country home, offering the perfect balance between heritage charm and modern luxury. Approached via private electric gates and a sweeping driveway, this distinguished residence stands within beautifully-landscaped grounds, accompanied by a substantial stone barn, stables, garages, and extensive entertaining spaces.

While its idyllic setting evokes a true sense of escape – with wild deer, birdsong, and serene views all around – the property lies within easy reach of city life. Leeds, Bradford and the motorway network are only a short drive away, offering access to Harvey Nichols, world-class dining, and cultural attractions, before returning to your own peaceful oasis.

INSIDE THE HOME

---

GROUND FLOOR
Every detail of Oldfield Nook has been considered, blending period craftsmanship with thoughtful modern touches.

The kitchen is the heart of the home – a shaker-style design with granite worktops, Ryburn Valley cabinetry, and a large island with breakfast bar. Dual-aspect windows bathe the room in light, while a dual-facing log burner adds warmth to both the kitchen and adjoining snug. Banquette seating and a dining area create a welcoming space for family and guests alike.

“It really is the hub of the home, and a fantastic entertaining space. The way the kitchen diner flows through to the snug and out of the French doors to the patio makes it so perfect for parties.” - Current homeowner

A snug with House of Hackney snake motif wallpaper and original features opens directly to the gardens, while the main lounge impresses with mullion windows, window seating, and a stone fireplace featuring Yorkshire Rose stonemasonry.

The cinema room provides an indulgent retreat, with bespoke cabinetry, parquet flooring, and surround sound, while the oak-panelled library – with hidden cupboards, a vaulted ceiling, and French doors to the patio – evokes timeless grandeur.

Completing the ground floor are a utility room, cloakroom, CCTV room, and a wine cellar/pantry with full-size fridge.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS
The landscaped setting at Oldfield Nook is simply breathtaking.

A long, gated driveway leads past manicured lawns and topiary to the house, framed by mature trees and planting. The Italian gardens are a highlight – with winding paths, a pergola, and a sunken courtyard complete with pond and fountain.

An open stone barn offers a spectacular venue for entertaining, weddings, or events, while additional outbuildings include a double garage, home gym, stables, greenhouse, and gardener’s outbuilding with WC.

A log-burning hot tub on the flagged patio provides the perfect spot to unwind while overlooking your own private fields.
