Staley Road Farm, Stalley Royd Lane, Jackson Bridge, HD9

Staley Royd farm, including farmhouse, delightful farm cottage, attached stone barn with huge potential, outbuildings, approximately 9 acres of land, and fabulous modern style farmyard with associated buildings and concrete yard. With accommodation being plentiful over a two and three storey dwelling, which is packed with many period features, including wonderful beams, delightful fireplaces and mullion windows. This five / six-bedroomed home has an enormous amount of flexibility, and the adjoining stone barn, which at one time had consent to be a separate dwelling, could easily be incorporated to create further accommodation if so desired. Attached to the barn to the rear is a beautiful, very high specification, two-bedroom, two-storey cottage, with, once again, fabulous windows and many delightful features. In short, a beautiful home in a lovely location, ideal for the equestrian use with a huge number of barns (5 in total) field shelters, delightfully divided, well-maintained paddocks, pleasant garden areas, two driveways, cottage and large farmhouse. The farmhouse briefly comprises boot room, entrance hall, lounge, kitchen, dining room, utility room, top floor second sitting room, top floor home office / study, five bedrooms, two bedrooms with en-suites, house bathroom and pleasant garden areas. In a much-loved location, ideal for the riding out up towards Tinkers Monument and Whittaker Country at the top of the hill, this fabulous equestrian home has just the right amount of land for it not to be necessary to carry out equestrian usage here. It is relatively easy to maintain and just a short walk away from the village of Jackson Bridge with its two pubs and bus routes and just a short drive away from New Mill and Holmfirth. With land adjoining the A6 giving easy access to the M1 motorway south and to Huddersfield North, a well-proportioned superbly balanced home in terms of accommodation, land and location. The views from the farm truly need to be seen to be fully appreciated.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Should be note that the property has passing through in an appropriate concealed location, a public footpath. Please note the attached stone barn has previously had planning consent to create a separate dwelling. It is, in the agent's opinion, ideal for this to become part of the principal dwelling, overlooking the views if so desired. It should also be noted that the property has gas-fired central heating, some double glazing. The property is also fitted with mains drainage. Carpets, curtains are certain other extras may be available by separate negotiation.

Garden

The home is served by a delightful sunken garden, this with a stone flagged terrace has a lovely long lawn leading down the side of the lane which leads down to the agricultural farmyard, details of which are to follow. There's also an additional garden area to the side of the property which is lawned and surrounded by mature trees and shrubbery. A gateway with stone arch above it gives pedestrian access through to the courtyard.

Yard

A long lane gives access to the farmyard. This has been a very efficient beef unit in its time. It is now in a slightly more relaxed mode for horses and equipment. The principal concrete framed barn is a superb building and has concrete floor, good eaves height and provides a large amount of scope for internal division, for stabling if so desired, or simply for storage of hay and equipment in its current form. The barn measures (awaiting floorplan) and has gate access to the rear, cattle feeding to one side and sliding doors to the front.

Yard

BARN 2 With twin steel doors at either end this high barn provides additional scope and is currently used for the storage of logs and the vendor's horse box. BARN 3 Barn 3 has its own inner courtyard. It is more traditionally built of stone with brick inner walls. It has a fabulous stone slate roof with wonderful beams and timbers on display. There are several windows and broad opening. BARN 4 This being open fronted, has been used as a cattle store in the past and is broadly used as a hay store and complements the courtyard particularly well. The courtyard area has gates to the lane leading up to the farmhouse and the gates to a concrete lane leading up to the rear yard and through to the fields. There's also a large, enclosed midden.

Garden

As the photographs and plans within this brochure suggest, the fields are, well positioned in location to the house and buildings. The fields have been beautifully divided, and a large amount of money has been spent on high specification boundaries, tree planting and wall rebuilding. There's also recently been three field shelters of high quality positioned within the paddocks and the outbuildings as previously described could provide additional stabling if so required. All the fields are down to grass and have good access either through the farmyard or directly onto the adjoining roads. Up towards the house, there is a small orchard area with high quality greenhouse and delightful enclosed small paddock.

Parking - Garage

Opposite the house and barn, there is a cluster of period style buildings, principally of stone, providing garaging for multiple cars and workshop facilities.
