Crosby Hall

ACCOMMODATION This outstanding former mill owner's residence offers extensive 6 bedroom accommodation with the original character enhanced by modern fittings. The property enjoys a pleasant and much admired setting between the villages of Netherton, Honley and Meltham and sits in grounds of approximately 11.31 acres of beautiful parkland with extensive lawns, ponds, meadows, tennis court and an additional large 3 bedroom cottage. Planning permission has been approved to replace the cottage with 2 large dwellings.  

ABOUT CROSLAND HALL The property is believed to date back to 1792 when it was built for the occupation of a local mill owning family. It is of traditional stone built construction under a hipped blue slate roof. It enjoys excellent privacy from a gated driveway with beautiful grounds predominantly in front of the building. Within the grounds there is a detached single storey cottage of stone built construction which is perfect for occupation by a dependent family member.

It is currently operated as a business and registered as a limited company. The main property being a high end holiday let, whilst the further detached cottage within the grounds is let on a private tenancy - both generate an excellent income. Planning permission has been obtained to demolish the cottage and build 2 substantial new dwellings, so there are many ways in which this property can be viewed - either as a business opportunity / development project or a private residence.

The main hall features extensive accommodation with a spacious double height entrance hall, 5 reception rooms, dining kitchen and an orangery. There is a superb galleried landing on the first floor along with 6 double bedrooms, each with en-suite bathroom facilities. It is well maintained and presented throughout with gas central heating and wooden double glazed windows. Traditional features are complimented by good quality modern fittings throughout. The additional cottage offers spacious 3 bedroom accommodation and is also presented to a good modern standard.

The extensive grounds feature a long driveway leading to generous parking areas, a six car garage, tennis court, extensive gardens, mature woodland, small lake and a paddock of land.

We are informed that the property is freehold and understand that despite its age, isn't listed. The main hall has a council tax banding of H and the cottage is F.
