Delightfully situated in a rural location on the outskirts of the edge of Stanbury with long distant views across the worth valley and countryside beyond. Nearby Stanbury has limited facilities but has a popular first school and three public houses. Haworth village is a mile further onward with shopping facilities including mini supermarkets. Keighley town centre which is a further 4 miles distant has larger shopping facilities and links by both road and rail to the major towns and cities of West Yorkshire. An alternative perspective - The property's initial appearance is bleak and uninspiring, but warrants investigation. As a typical Laithe house, it had a section for animals, the barn and a section for human habitation. The barn part is of considerable age, having been modified over the centuries to meet the needs of its owners. The house section has also been modified, most recently in the 1960s when that part was destroyed by fire, and rebuilt as a single story. As a property with around 20 acres, there is a continuing need for a barn and its associated storage. There is a barn in a field to south of the property, the functions of which might replaced by restoring the Laithe part of the property, providing a way of agreeing with the planning authorities to permit a significant modernisation and extension of the house part of the property to provide for 21st C living accommodation.
