Underwood, Cragg Vale, Hebden Bridge

Fine & Country are delighted to present Underwood. A truly rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial country home of exceptional calibre, set within over five acres of private gardens and woodland, enjoying an outstanding position overlooking some of the finest views the Calder Valley has to offer.

Properties like this very rarely come to market in this area. With its setting, land and overall feel, Underwood offers a genuine once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire a home in one of Cragg Vale’s most sought-after and unspoilt locations.

Set well back and approached via a private driveway, the property offers a wonderful sense of peace and seclusion. The setting is simply enchanting, it is alive with birdsong and rich in natural beauty, with sweeping drifts of bluebells in spring and vibrant daffodils bringing colour and charm to the gardens. It is both a sanctuary for wildlife and a true haven for those with a passion for the outdoors.

The House

Extending to approximately 2,800 sq ft (260 sq m), the property offers generous and highly adaptable accommodation, ideally suited to both family life and entertaining on a grander scale.

At the heart of the home is a superb open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. It is an impressive and sociable environment designed for modern living. This expansive room flows beautifully, with clearly defined areas for cooking, dining and relaxation, all enhanced by large windows that frame the surrounding landscape and flood the space with natural light.

Alongside this, there are additional rooms including a workshop and a particularly generous games room. This is a really versatile space and could be used in a number of ways such as a second sitting room, work space, or adapted to suit multigenerational family living if required.

Upstairs, there are five double bedrooms, all enjoying a fantastic outlook over the surrounding grounds and area. The views are simply amazing. The layout works well as it stands, with the opportunity for a new owner to make changes over time if they wish. In the past the current owners had a sixth bedroom.

The property benefits from mains gas heating, with underfloor heating throughout the open-plan living space. It is connected to mains water and there is also a spring water supply.

The Grounds

The grounds are a defining and exceptional feature of Underwood, extending to five acres of beautifully varied gardens and private woodland. They offer a mix of lawned gardens and established woodland, creating a setting that feels both open and private at the same time. For families, this is an especially special setting. There is space to entertain and relax, while children have the freedom to explore, climb and create their own adventures amongst the trees. From treehouses waiting to be built to endless outdoor pursuits, the grounds offer a lifestyle that is both enriching and deeply connected to nature.

At the same time, the land is a haven for wildlife and ideal for anyone with an interest in gardening or simply spending time outside. The gardens change beautifully with the seasons and offer complete privacy around the house.

The driveway provides extensive parking and turning space, which adds to the overall sense of scale and privacy as you approach the property.

Location

Cragg Vale is well known for both its beauty and its history. The area was once home to the Cragg Vale Coiners, giving it a fascinating past, and more recently it has been used as a backdrop for a number of television productions thanks to its unspoilt landscape.

It is also well known in cycling circles, having featured in the Tour de France and offering one of England’s longest continuous climbs from Mytholmroyd up to the moors.

Despite the rural feel, the property is well placed for access to Hebden Bridge, Mytholmroyd, Sowerby Bridge and Halifax, with good transport links including trains to Leeds, Manchester and beyond. There are also excellent schools in the area and a well established bus route.

A Rare Opportunity

Opportunities like this do not come along often. A house of this size, with this amount of land, in such a special position, is genuinely hard to find.

Underwood offers the chance to create a long-term family home in an exceptional setting and much loved and sought after location.
