The Old School Cragg Vale

Set within the beautifully converted Old Cragg School, an iconic landmark in the heart of Cragg Vale. This unique property offers contemporary luxury, characterful architecture and breathtaking countryside views. One of just six individually designed homes completed in 2023, this high-quality conversion provides a rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive property in a sought-after setting.

From the moment you arrive, the grandeur of the original school building is evident. Thoughtfully transformed whilst retaining its impressive proportions and period charm, this remarkable home delivers stylish, flexible accommodation arranged over three levels.

Occupying the entire upper floor, the stunning open-plan living space is undoubtedly the heart of the home. Flooded with natural light from full-height opening windows and large Velux rooflights, the room offers an atmosphere of space, warmth and sophistication.

The beautifully appointed kitchen has been designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind. Featuring a comprehensive range of contemporary cabinetry, a large central island with induction hob and breakfast bar, premium Neff appliances including a single oven and combination microwave oven, integrated dishwasher and extensive storage, it is a space where cooking, dining and socialising naturally come together.

The living area provides ample room for both lounge and dining furniture, whilst the impressive multi-fuel stove creates a cosy focal point during the colder months. Owners comment that the stove is remarkably efficient, capable of heating the entire living space with ease.

Step directly from the living space onto the private balcony and prepare to be captivated. Finished with attractive York stone flags, this outdoor seating area enjoys a spectacular panorama across the surrounding valley and woodland. Whether enjoying a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine, this is a truly special place to unwind.

The property offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, each finished to an exceptional standard. The principal bedroom comfortably accommodates a king-sized bed and benefits from extensive professionally fitted wardrobes providing excellent storage and a luxurious en-suite bathroom which includes a large walk-in double shower, contemporary vanity unit and stylish fittings throughout. The family bathroom is equally impressive, featuring a bath with shower over, vanity storage and quality finishes.

A particularly valuable feature of the home is the substantial lower ground floor room/bedroom four. Currently arranged as a home gym and social space, this versatile area lends itself equally well to a bedroom, home office, cinema room, games room, studio or additional family space. Superfast fibre connection points ensure seamless connectivity throughout the property, including this lower level.

Every detail has been carefully considered, creating a home that feels both luxurious and practical. Features include: high-quality flooring throughout, efficient heating system, Positive Pressure Ventilation (PPV) system helping maintain excellent air quality and preventing condensation, ample storage and an immaculate, high quality presentation. The property includes the reassurance of a new build warranty until 2033.

Externally, the property benefits from three allocated parking spaces, including infrastructure for electric vehicle charging. Small seating areas to both the front and rear provide further opportunities to enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Despite its idyllic countryside setting, the property remains conveniently connected. Mytholmroyd railway station is approximately 1.5 miles away, providing excellent links to Leeds and Manchester, whilst nearby bus routes connect to Hebden Bridge and the wider Calder Valley. The M62 motorway network is easily accessible via both Ainley Top and Milnrow.

This home represents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully converted home within one of Cragg Vale's most distinctive buildings. Combining exceptional craftsmanship, contemporary design, versatile accommodation and truly stunning views, this is a property that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
