It features a magnificent cruck framed section believed to date back to the 16th century with an additional 2 storey section added in the early 18th century. It occupies a pleasant and much admired hamlet between Honley and Netherthong and is located within a conservation area. The property requires extensive renovation and restoration.

An extensive research project has recently been carried out on the history of this property which is believed to have been a 16th century cruck framed Yeomans dwelling incorporating the cottage next door. As weaving became in the area the additional 2 storey cottage section was added to the side in the 18th century.
The property retains many historic features, most notably the original cruck framing which dominates the double height living room. There are also original fireplaces, mullioned windows, exposed roof timbers and stonework throughout the building.
The main entrance is via a porch to the front which in turn leads to a lobby area. Theis features doors into the dining kitchen and dining room. A small study area has been sectioned off the dining room and there are also stairs from here to the first floor and cellar. Doors also lead into the magnificent living room.
On the first floor there is a landing area with exposed timberwork and a door overlooking the living room. On this floor you will also find 2 double bedrooms, a large open landing area and the house bathroom.
Whilst the property has undergone some renovation work in the last 40 years it does now require an extensive scheme of sympathetic restoration. This must of course carried out in line with its grade II listed status.
Externally there is an area of land to the rear with the remains of a former barn and a small garden area in front. The property enjoys a much admired rural setting, adjacent to farmland and within a small cluster of historic cottages and barns.
We understand that the property is connected to mains water, drainage and electricity. It’s central heating system is oil fired with a tank located within the adjacent field – this will need to be relocated on completion of the sale.
Please Note
Whilst this is the only property offered for sale at this time, our clients may consider the sale of additional land and the adjoining cottage (number 45 – which is currently rented) if required as a separate transaction.
