Historic Georgian family home packed with original features

Home in private setting with views that extend over the valley, and just a short stroll from village amenities

This unique Georgian home that dates back to 1729 is a Grade ll listed property, and was formerly the home of the late Labour MP Austin Mitchell.

Within the heart of Sowerby village, the house is split in to the main four-bedroom house, and a three-bedroom rear annexe.

The house has three reception rooms and four bathrooms, while the annexe has open living and dining space, and one bathroom.

With 1.5 acres of mature garden, the property has a private driveway, and a detached double garage with adjoining workshop.

A long entrance hallway with original wooden staircase leads in to the house.

The main sitting room has high skirting boards, coving and picture rails, a carved bookcase within an alcove, and a feature fireplace.

French doors open to a Yorkshire stone patio.

The study has built-in bookcases and garden views, and there's a ground floor cloakroom with WC.

A hidden door behind the stairs leads down to cellars that are suitable for conversion.

From a rear hallway are the kitchen and dining room, the former with Yorkshire stone flooring, a fitted range cooker and a stone fireplace. Adjacent is a utility room with an original butler's sink.

The bay-fronted dining room with original wooden shutters has an open fire with wooden and marble surround.

Four double bedrooms on the first floor include one with an en-suite that has a sunken bath, and a walk-in shower.

A special feature is the landing’s rose window, with Ryburn Valley views.

Steps lead up to the library with built-in bookcases, then the final two bedrooms and a family bathroom.
