The History Goes Back To around 1717 - But The Kitchen, Bathrooms And Garden Room Are Thoroughly 21st Century. A stylish Grade II Listed villa with four double bedrooms over three floors, no chain, off road parking and a gorgeous garden that will genuinely surprise you.

Three hundred years of history has a way of leaving its mark on a home. The exposed beams, the stone walls, the 1717 date stone sitting in the garden - this place has real character baked into its fabric, long before anyone thought to add a freestanding slipper bath or a sage-green shaker kitchen.

The kitchen-diner runs across the full width of the ground floor, with the kind of layout that actually works for a busy family - a central island with breakfast bar seating on one side, a proper farmhouse sink, subway tiles and warm timber worktops throughout. It flows naturally into the dining area, where there's plenty of room for everyone around the table, and then through into a snug little sitting area with a wine rack tucked under the stairs. The whole ground floor has that rare quality of feeling both open and cosy at the same time.

The living room sits separately at the back - with an original stone fireplace housing a multi-fuel stove and an exposed beam running across the ceiling. There's also a rear lobby giving you easy access out to the garden.

Up on the first floor, the main bedroom is a real treat - twin sash windows, a beautiful arched display niche, exposed beams and fitted wardrobes. The second bedroom on this floor is a good-sized double, and the four piece family bathroom has been updated properly: Freestanding slipper bath, rainfall shower, wall-to-wall tiling and a heated towel rail.

The second floor is where the house really comes into its own for families with older children or teenagers. There are two further bedrooms up here - one with its own en-suite shower room - and a handy landing area that's been put to use as a study area. It's the kind of versatile top floor that gives everyone a bit of breathing room and there is a handy concertina style wall that can open the rooms into one space of preferred.

The garden is genuinely large for something this close to the village. It’s tiered and landscaped, with a flagstone terrace directly off the rear of the house, a lawn area below, and mature planting throughout. The views out over the surrounding countryside are the kind you'll still be noticing years after you've moved in.

There's also off-street parking for a couple of cars, accessed from the bottom of the garden.

The garden room deserves a mention of its own. It's a substantial wooden outbuilding - currently setup as a gym but with power, internet and phone lines already in place it could be a fantastic home office (with a chemical loo so you don’t even need to keep popping back up to the house)

Whether you work from home, need a creative space, or just want somewhere the kids can disappear to, it’s a fantastic bonus.

The property is next to a working farm, which means there's a genuinely rural feel to life here - despite Ripponden village being only a five-minute walk down Royd Lane. The village has a good range of independent shops, cafés and pubs, and the commuter links into Halifax, Huddersfield and beyond are solid.

Properties in this terrace almost never come up - this genuinely is “a rare opportunity to purchase!”. Grade II listed, four double bedrooms, no onward chain and a garden this good is a unique combination.
