Park Riding, Northgate, Honley, HD9 6QL

The Cottage and The Guest House are a wonderful example of how to perfectly blend traditional character with contemporary style.  The Cottage has been enjoyed by the same family for 90 years. Lovingly maintained by the current owner who has lived there for 15 years and ensured the abundance of character features displayed throughout have been retained. The Guest House was completed in 2023 and is in contrast of The Cottage as it has been designed with a more contemporary style.

The property sits within open countryside with only one immediate neighbouring house within close proximity, both of which individually retain a fabulous degree of privacy, with private access for the two properties along a private gated driveway.
