Main Street, Farnhill, BD20

Looking for a flexible village home with far reaching countryside views, a south facing flagged garden and a setting alongside the Leeds Liverpool Canal? This unique property offers generous living space across several levels and includes a versatile lower ground room suited to work or leisure use.

From the roadside the property could easily be mistaken for a typical terrace, though the scale and layout inside tell a very different story.

Stone steps lead up to the entrance and into a large reception room that runs the full depth of the property. A picture window at the far end frames open views across fields towards Cross Hills and the surrounding countryside. The proportions of this room allow for a range of uses, with space for seating, dining or a dedicated area for working from home if required.

Steps lead down to the lower ground level where there is a separate dining room with a lovely outlook over the Leeds Liverpool Canal and a window seat positioned to make the most of the setting. There is also useful storage beneath the staircase. Beyond this sits a well fitted kitchen with a wide range of wall and base units, deep pan drawers and generous worktop space. There is plumbing for a washing machine along with an integrated induction hob and oven, plus under counter lighting. A pantry provides further storage and there is also a handy WC with wash basin, previously used as a shower room and offering scope for reinstatement.

A door from the kitchen opens onto a side path leading down to the flagged south-westerly facing garden. Just off the garden sits a generous canalside room with wide views across the valley. It is fully tanked, well heated with two radiators, and remains warm and dry throughout the year. Original inglenook fireplaces with exposed stonework add real character, making this one of the standout spaces in the house.

Currently used as an office and TV room, the space works well as a quieter area away from the main living rooms, a separate spot for older children, or additional everyday living accommodation. It was once connected internally to the main house via steps, which could offer future potential if desired.

Also accessed from the garden is a large store with power and lighting, and the property benefits from established mooring rights.

Back inside and on the top floor are two double bedrooms and the house bathroom. The rear bedroom enjoys particularly impressive long-distance views and includes built in storage over the bulkhead along with exposed floorboards that add further character to the space.

This is a property that offers far more flexibility than first expected and suits those looking for something a little different within a well-regarded village setting.
