A note from the owner

For almost 125 years Northroyd has been a warm, impressive family home for the many

people who have lived here. We feel privileged to have made it home for our young

children and have enjoyed the many ways in which the building enables 'the good life' in

all seasons. In Spring the garden is a riot of blossom from the mature cherry trees while

the sunsets through the west facing kitchen window are ever changing. In Summer the

garden is the perfect place to get friends round for a BBQ and the kids love playing out

all season. When Autumn arrives we've always looked forward to lighting the fire for the

first time and getting cosy, such that when Winter lands the house is always a haven to

return to after a walk across the fields. Where it not for work and other life commitments

we would not be moving house. We truly love this place and hope to find someone else

who will feel the same
