Whitwell Green Lane, Elland

Newhall is a breathtaking five-bedroom wing of a Grade I listed manor house that dates back to 1472. As one of Halifax's oldest properties, it holds immense historical significance and charm. This remarkable home has undergone careful renovations, blending modern comforts with its rich heritage to provide spacious and inviting living accommodations.
