Additional Information

Although the property lies within the Green Belt, there is a historical precedent on three separate occasions for releasing small parcels of land adjoining Cemetery Road to permit a single house for bungalow to be built. Sufficient space remains along the border with Cemetery Road for at least one, and probably two, such plots, provided that approval for release could be obtained.

Access
The farmhouse may be accessed from Holmfirth Town Centre by two different routes, leading separately to the top and bottom yards of the farm. Each of these routes is a single narrow roadway typical of the Holme Valley. Two other rights of way are shown on the Deeds to the property. Details are indicated on the attached plan. At present, the turning and parking areas are very limited. Viewing can be made on foot from Holmfirth Town centre or from nearby roads. Further details are available from the agents
