SELLER INSIGHT

Positioned within Savile Park on the outskirts of Halifax Wood Hall is a 16th century Grade II listed Elizabethan manor house which has been beautifully renovated and modernised. Given its age, the house is a time capsule for the architecture and features of a period property of this era. Stone built, with exposed timbers showing the beautiful roof structures in the top floor rooms, many of the formal rooms on the lower floors boast ornate plaster ceilings and original fireplaces. Occupying a set back and elevated position it sits within a cluster of properties surrounded by woodland with views to neighboring hillside villages – although rural feeling it is close to a wealth of excellent amenities. ‘When we first bought the property, it was part way through a renovation by the previous owners, and although some of the rooms were near completion, there were some significant elements that we needed to address. The house has had a considerable amount of effort, time and money spent on it to bring it up to the beautiful property it is today.’

‘It’s a very social house with rooms big enough for everyone to be together, but also enough space to spread everyone out should one need a quiet corner. The south facing private gardens are safe for children to play in and really come into their own during the warmer months.’

‘The kitchen is the hub of the home and is always warm thanks to the AGA. The views into the garden from the grand dining room are amazing and really connect one with the outside – a large working fireplace keeps this room cosy in the winter.’

‘Views to the front draw the eye to woodlands and the hills up around Norland while views to the side look towards Wainhouse Tower, the tallest folly in the world.’

‘There are very reputable schools within walking distance and it’s just a short walk into the centre of Halifax and the train station where you’ll find regular services to Leeds, Manchester and London. The house is just two miles from the M62.’

‘The local countryside is beautiful and there are many great walks to explore.’

‘Wood Hall is a truly special place to live, and we feel very privileged to have had the opportunity to bring it back from a state of disrepair. Its uniqueness certainly impresses everyone that visits.’

Taking the oak staircase, to the first floor, a tall stained glass window provides natural light over the half landing. The first floor landing, with its moulded plaster ceiling arches and reading nook over the entrance porch, from here one can access the three generous double bedrooms and household bathroom. The principal bedroom has been modernised by the current owners to create a suite with spacious dressing room, ensuite shower room and bedroom with southerly views over the garden and valley beyond. The remaining bedrooms are also well portioned and light, both with dual aspects and one featuring an ensuite bathroom. The household bathroom features a freestanding claw foot roll top bath, his & hers wash basins and a separate shower.

Stairs from the first floor landing take you to the second floor, where an abundance of the property’s roofing timbers are on display. There a further four double bedrooms and an additional bathroom are to be found. Of the four bedrooms, one has an ensuite shower room and another has been divided in two, to provide a potential sitting room with wood burning stove or utilised as a home office as as the current owners do.
