4 Bed Detached House For Sale

Very occasionally, do we have the absolute pleasure of being asked to market a home located in such an idyllic semi-rural setting, and one which is presented to such a particularly high standard, so we are more than thrilled to offer to the market Quebec Farm, an exquisitely appointed detached family residence nestling into the hillside above Ripponden on a plot of over half an acre.


About Quebec Farm

If you are looking for a prestigious family home, that also provides a ‘retreat’ from the hustle and bustle of a modern-day work life, then this is it! Quebec Farm occupies a fabulous spot tucked away off Cliff Lane down a sweeping private driveway, yet is open to the adjoining countryside and panoramic far-reaching views that stretch for miles and miles. Little is known about the history of the property, except that it was formed from converting a row of old stone cottages which appear on an 1892 OS map so you have to assume that they were built in the Victorian period, or possibly earlier. More recently, the property has been further enhanced by adding a double story extension to the front, an entrance porch, and a timber framed double car port with sheltered sitting area at the side. Internally, the current owners have excelled themselves and clearly have a flair for design and presentation and after completing all the works they wanted to do, they have finished it with beautiful Farrow & Ball décor scheme. It has mains water, electricity, drainage into its own septic tank, an LPG central heating system with radiators throughout the house, and double glazed windows with a mixture sash and stone mullioned units in wood framed casings. The beautifully appointed accommodation briefly comprises to the ground floor an entrance porch, hall, living room, dining room, kitchen open to a family room, utility room, and a downstairs w.c. On the first floor you will find a spacious landing with study area, master bedroom with en suite bathroom, guest bedroom 2 with direct access into the family bathroom, 2 further double bedrooms, and shower room. There is also external access to a lower ground floor room beneath the living room which is currently used as a gym but also offers the potential for conversion into a work/business space.

Externally, the sweeping driveway brings you down to a sizeable cobbled and gravelled parking and turning area, a timber framed open fronted double garage, ample gardens, and stunning views from various patio areas and a covered decked terrace which are all southwest facing.

Although Quebec Farm occupies a rural spot on the hillside, you will find nearby public footpaths that will take you on foot, or a short car journey, down to both Rishworth and Ripponden where you will find an array of shops, bars, restaurants, schools, and accessible for Junctions, 22, 23 & 24 of the M62 motorway. There is also a train station in nearby Sowerby Bridge. It is also only a short drive to junctions 23 & 24 of the M62 motorway for those who commute to any of the surrounding major conurbations on a regular basis.
