Bank End House & Cottage, Clayton West, HD8

Originally part of the Bretton Hall Estate, Bank End is a large 18th Century detached property positioned in beautiful open countryside between Clayton West and High Hoyland, and yet less than 10 minutes from the M1 motorway. Currently comprised of two spacious family homes, it has been occupied by the current owner’s family for over 100 years and has recently undergone some modernisation. The vendor informs us that Bank End Cottage completed a full renovation in 2015, with both properties being fully rewired in the last 10 years and both have LPG boilers which were installed in the last 5 years.

Sitting in grounds of a third of an acre with incredible far reaching views, the property has huge amounts of potential, either as one property or as a large family home with the benefit of income from a second home or holiday let. Viewing Bank End is the only way to fully appreciate the fantastic location and scope of the property.
