About Hill End Farm
Hill End Farm is an imposing period property steeped in history of stone construction beneath a pitched stone slate roof. Altered and upgraded over the years, the property boasts an array of period features including exposed stonework, exposed beams and timbers and stone mullion windows, not forgetting the stone fireplaces and the quirks and appeal of such an engaging and charming home. The property sits within a generous plot of 1.7 acres including its own field to the front. The location is key here as the views to the front are particularly impressive, offering far reaching views over the field, agricultural land and far beyond. The majority of the property benefits hugely from this striking aspect which can only be truly appreciated by visiting this family home. Located on Wall Nook Lane down a private drive, Hill End Farm sits a short distance from the hugely popular village of Shepley with its local amenities, shops, junior school, cricket club, public houses, railway station and church. It is a little over three miles from Holmfirth centre and within easy commuting distance to the M1. On the doorstep are great rural walks embracing the location and countryside. The day-to-day entrance to the property is through a panelled door which leads through the entrance porch into the striking and imposing dining room, which like so much of this family home boasts an array of period features including exposed stonework, exposed beams and timbers, roof height angled ceilings in some of the bedrooms, stone mullion windows, stone fireplaces and much more. The accommodation is both spacious and flexible with very generous living space. The lounge is almost seventeen feet square, as is the dining room, and the sitting room is over twenty-nine feet long, boasting a galleried landing above and a former barn door arched topped glazed window. In addition, there is a cozy dining kitchen with a gas fired aga, separate utility and side porch, and a beautiful garden room with further exposed stonework and a glazed wall joining the two sides of the house. The accommodation briefly comprises: Entrance porch, dining room, dining kitchen, lounge, garden room, sitting room, utility, ground floor WC, further store and two sets of stairs give access to four generous double bedrooms, three en-suites, house bathroom and bedroom five/study. Buyers may look to reconfigure or change the uses of some of the rooms, but the space and flexible nature is more than apparent. The property has gas fired central heating, double glazing and is connected to mains services with the exception of the septic tank which it shares with the neighbour.

Externally, Hill End Farm has garden areas which are more traditional and laid to lawn, two good sized hard standing areas, great for BBQs and enjoying the evening as well as offering potential for parking a caravan or motorhome. To the front, the large sweeping pebbled drive, accessed by wooden gates, offers parking for a number of vehicles and a sunken wall separates the drive from the field. The field is a great space to potentially keep pets, hobby animals or a horse. Whilst there is no stabling or a garage there is adequate space to consider adding these (subject to consent and works). There are options to explore or simply to leave the field as it is and enjoy the unrestricted views. Internal inspection is highly recommended.
