Birkby Lodge Road, Huddersfield, HD2 2BG

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial Grade II Listed residence set within approximately one acre of private grounds, together with a prime development site benefitting from full planning permission for five dwellings.

Located within the highly sought after suburb of Edgerton, on the outskirts of Huddersfield town centre, Birkby Lodge is a truly remarkable period home, designed by the renowned architect Edgar Wood. Rich in architectural significance and refined craftsmanship, the property showcases an abundance of original features, elegant proportions, and beautifully curated living spaces throughout.

The main residence offers extensive and highly versatile accommodation arranged over two floors, extending to eight bedrooms in total. The first floor comprises five generous double bedrooms, all benefitting from en suite facilities. The ground floor provides a further three rooms, historically used as formal reception rooms, which are currently utilised as additional bedroom accommodation. This flexible layout offers an exceptional degree of adaptability, allowing the home to be configured to suit a wide range of lifestyle requirements.

Throughout the property, there are exquisite period details including intricate oak panelling, ornate ceiling work, striking fireplaces, and large sash windows, all combining to create a home filled with natural light and character.

At the heart of the property lies a magnificent living kitchen, designed for modern family living and entertaining, featuring expansive proportions, high-quality fittings, and direct access onto the south-facing terrace, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living.

The main property also offers significant further potential, with the basement and rear section providing scope for renovation, reconfiguration, or conversion. A previous planning application (2006/62/95294/W2) was submitted for conversion into four self-contained properties.

Externally, the main residence sits within approximately half an acre of beautifully enclosed gardens, enjoying a private south-facing aspect. Mature trees and stone boundary walls create a secluded and tranquil setting, complemented by a substantial driveway providing ample off-road parking.

The adjoining development land, extending to approximately half an acre, benefits from detailed planning consent for five high quality dwellings, comprising three townhouses, one detached property, and the conversion of a Grade II Listed former Coach House. This represents a rare and significant opportunity for developers or investors in a consistently high demand location.

Edgerton remains one of Huddersfield’s most prestigious residential areas, offering excellent access to the town centre, highly regarded schools, local amenities, and convenient connectivity to the M62 motorway network, linking Leeds, Manchester, and beyond.

This unique combined offering delivers both an outstanding and highly adaptable family residence of considerable distinction, alongside a substantial development opportunity in one of the region’s most desirable settings.

Currently operated as a high performing luxury holiday let, the property benefits from an established income stream, enhancing its appeal as both a lifestyle purchase and investment opportunity.
