Grade-II listed home that was once featured in a magazine could be yours for £2m

Anyone looking to get their hands on an idyllic, historic home nestled in the English countryside, Hartley Royd located near the town of Todmorden might be exactly what you’re looking for.

The stunning seven-bedroom property and estate has recently come onto the market for only the second time in almost 100 years and includes two two-bedroom detached cottages, a barn ripe for conversion (subject to planning permission) and private grounds totalling 58 acres.

The home is a Yeoman’s House and estate and is believed to date back as far as 1587, making it the perfect home for anyone with a keen interest in English history and architecture.

The property has previously been photographed and featured in The English Home magazine and has a guide price of offers in excess of £1.95million.

On entering the estate, prospective buyers are met with a private sweeping tree-lined driveway which leads to the estate’s courtyard. The courtyard includes access to the farmhouse, cottages and the barn.

The jewel in the estate’s crown is the Yeoman’s House which totals an impressive 4,895 sq ft across four floors.

The home includes five reception rooms, a kitchen and utility room, seven bedrooms, two bathrooms, a vaulted cellar and two large attic rooms offering the potential for many uses.

Two of the bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms and the master bedroom includes an ensuite and a dressing room.

Entering through the solid oak door with a recessed Tudor lintel, the hallway provides access to the vaulted cellar which houses an original spring water well.

From the entrance, a stone archway and stone-flagged floors lead to the traditional country farmhouse-style dining kitchen.

In the kitchen, cooking enthusiasts can enjoy views over the gardens and beyond while using an integrated electric two-oven Aga, dishwasher and fridge.

One of the reception rooms is a drawing room which is brimming with character and includes beams on the ceiling and an impressive original basket arch fireplace with a stop moulded surround and a stone hearth.

Away from the main home, the new owner can enjoy a host of external features including a detached stone-built barn and two cottages – Dove Cottage and The Old Water House.

The barn includes a feature stone arch at the front and rear and cow stalls as well as windows.

Dove Cottage features the original Columbarium or pigeonnier above the doorway and dates back to 1677. The cottage has two bedrooms, a dining kitchen, a lounge and a bathroom.

The Old Water House is detached with a dining kitchen, lounge with multifuel stove and house bathroom. Both cottages are let on assured shorthold tenancy agreements.

The property is located just a short drive away from the market town of Todmorden in the Upper Calder Valley in Calderdale, West Yorkshire.

The town is in the heart of The Pennines with the Rochdale Canal running through it and boasts beautiful architecture and scenery.

Todmorden has a large range of shops and a railway station which has routes to Leeds, Manchester and Halifax.

The property is on the market with Charnock Bates, an established Chartered Surveyors and Auctioneers, specialising in the sale of fine, country and period homes across West Yorkshire.
