Description
A REMARKABLE GRADE II LISTED ESTATE WITH MULTIPLE RESIDENCES AND OUTSTANDING POTENTIAL
Set high above the beautiful Calder Valley on the rural fringe of Heptonstall, Stones Hey Gate Estate is an extraordinary Grade II listed estate offering a rare opportunity to acquire a collection of historic dwellings surrounded by open countryside.
Steeped in heritage and rich in character, the estate centres around an impressive stone-built house that has been thoughtfully arranged to provide three self-contained apartments alongside a substantial main residence, complemented by a pair of semi-detached cottages (detached from the main house) within the grounds.
The setting is exceptional. Stone mullion windows frame far-reaching views towards Hardcastle Crags, a dramatic National Trust landscape extending to over 400 acres of ancient woodland, waterfalls, and steep-sided valleys, while the grounds enjoy a peaceful rural atmosphere with sweeping lawns and open countryside on the doorstep.
This versatile estate offers remarkable flexibility for a variety of buyers. Whether envisioned as a multi-generational family home, a lifestyle business, a collection of rental properties, or a combination of all three, Stones Hey Gate House presents an exciting opportunity to shape a historic property for modern living.
STONES HEY GATE HOUSE (MAIN RESIDENCE)
A substantial private residence filled with remarkable architectural character.
A welcoming hallway leads through to a series of elegant reception rooms, each showcasing historic detailing including exposed beams, fireplaces and intricate plasterwork.
Particularly notable is the atmospheric “Oak Room”, richly panelled with carved oak detailing and built-in bookshelves, creating a dramatic and characterful sitting room.
Other reception spaces include a lounge with large picture windows capturing elevated views across the valley landscape, a dining room overlooking the lawn, and an additional reception room offering flexibility as a study, lounge, or further living space.
The kitchen is centred around an AGA set within a tiled surround and positioned to enjoy outlooks across fields and wooded valley sides through mullion windows.
Upstairs, a gallery landing leads to four generous bedrooms, many with fitted wardrobes and window seats overlooking the gardens, together with family bathrooms.
Externally, this property benefits from a lawn bordered by trees and shrubs, a garage, and a large tarmacadam area for parking cars.
