A superb 9 bedroomed residence occupying a stunning semi-rural setting with amazing panoramic views. It is currently occupied by 3 generations of the same family, each having their own full range of living quarters, yet can open the connecting doors when wanting to socialise. Each also has its own outside space and then all have access to a large garden and land beyond. There is ample parking to the front, and access to a garage/workshop.
Overview
ABOUT HEY FARM
The family purchased the property in 2018 with a vision of creating a wonderful lifestyle where the 3 generations could live together yet freely enjoy their own living space. After much time, thought, and investment, they created the fabulous living environment you see today. We still do have a copy of the original floor plan should you wish to see how it was laid out previously. There are several options on how a new owner could utilise the property, possibly looking at using part, or parts, as a lucrative ‘airbnb’ business, or simply as one large family home, the possibilities are endless! The setting is wonderful and comprises a handful of individual properties created out of the original farmstead of which Hey Farm is perhaps the larger and has retained a sizeable garden and owns the land immediately adjoining. The total site amounts to approximately 4.5 acres.
The nearby villages of Slaithwaite and Marsden offer a range of shops, bars, restaurants, and both have a train station. Meltham is also only a short drive away where you will find more shops and amenities. It is also an excellent base for those who are looking for a countryside retreat yet still require access to the surrounding major conurbations such as Leeds and Manchester and there is good access to the M62 at junctions 23 & 24.
The accommodation now essentially comprises 3 sets of living quarters which we’ll refer to as ‘main’, ‘second’ and ‘smaller’.
