3 bedroom terraced house for sale

A rare opportunity to acquire the principal portion of Great House, an impressive Grade II listed former yeoman dwelling dating from the 17th century and occupying an enviable elevated position with far-reaching valley views.

Rich in historic character, the property retains a wealth of original architectural features including substantial exposed beams, stone mullioned windows and a rare surviving witch post, a distinctive feature seldom found outside the traditional houses of the Pennines.

Requiring renovation throughout, Great House offers an exciting opportunity to create a substantial family home of considerable character and distinction. Properties of this nature and scale rarely become available at a price point that allows a purchaser to personalise and restore them to their own requirements, creating a home of genuine presence and permanence.

Extending to approximately 155 square metres (1,670 sq ft), the accommodation is generously proportioned throughout and briefly comprises an entrance hall, a spacious living room featuring an open fireplace and exposed timberwork, and a large kitchen dining room enjoying far-reaching views across the valley and surrounding countryside together with direct access to the rear garden.

Two useful ground-floor store rooms offer further potential for use as a utility room, downstairs cloakroom or other ancillary accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.

To the first floor are three generous double bedrooms together with a substantial family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms enjoy particularly impressive long-distance views across the valley and surrounding countryside. A noteworthy feature is the exceptionally large landing area, offering flexibility for a home office, reading area, occasional sitting room or, subject to any necessary consents, an additional bathroom without compromising bedroom space.

Externally, the property benefits from a cobbled frontage and a sizeable rear garden incorporating patio and lawned areas. Enjoying an elevated position and pleasant outlook, the garden offers excellent potential for enhanced landscaping, outdoor entertaining and the creation of an attractive family space.

Great House represents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire and restore an important historic home in a highly desirable location. Offering generous accommodation, outstanding views and a wealth of surviving period features, the property provides a chance to create a substantial family home of genuine character and significance. In an age of increasingly uniform housing, Great House offers something altogether different: a named house with centuries of history, architectural interest and a lasting sense of place.
