Moss Edge Farm, Moss Edge Lane, Holmbridge, Holmfirth, HD9

The Farmhouse

A substantial detached farmhouse which occupies a stunning rural setting within a courtyard of traditional stone buildings which have planning permission for conversion. The Farmhouse is offered for sale as an individual lot and requires comprehensive modernisation to return it to more habitable condition. We anticipate that it offers the scope to create a 5 bedroom dwelling with 3 downstairs reception rooms and a dining kitchen. The space currently occupied includes a dining kitchen, lounge, 2 double bedrooms and bathrooms but there are areas at either side of the house which offer further scope to expand upon this. An area of field to the side and rear of the property will be included within the sale.

OUTSIDE

A section of the adjacent field to the side and rear of the property is included within the sale. See attached plan for details. The total site area extends to 0.22 acres.

Services

The farmhouse is currently connected to spring water and has drainage to a septic tank. It is connected to mains electricity.

Site Plan

The above site plans show the proposed boundaries for each of the 3 lots.

Services

The purchaser of each of the barns will need to commission their own private water supply via borehole and install their own sewage treatment plant. An electricity supply currently feeds the farmhouse and Lot 3. An upgrade of the supply will be required for additional properties.

Driveway

Our client has recently upgraded the driveway up to the farm but we anticipate that it will require further works upon completion of the redevelopment works. A management company for the road and courtyard area will be put in place for repair, gritting etc when the properties become occupied.

Please Note

Due to the extensive works required to each of the properties, offers from cash purchasers will only be considered by our clients.

Additional Information

Tenure: Freehold. Energy rating for Lot One 1 (Band G). Council tax band D. Our online checks show that Superfast Fibre Broadband (Fibre to the Cabinet FTTC) is available at the address and could be installed and mobile coverage at the property is offered by several providers.

Location

From the centre of Holmfirth head along the A6024 Woodhead Road into the centre of Hinchliffe Mill. Turn left onto Co-op Lane (just after, and on the opposite side of the road from the village shop). Continue along this road and over the bridge as the road becomes Dobb Lane. Continue along passing the School where the road becomes Hollin Brigg Lane. At the sharp left hand bend in the road there is Moss Edge Lane on the right hand side. This passes a handful of houses then leads up a steep banking up to the farm.
