This Grade ll-listed,16th century former farmhouse of special historic interest is off the beaten track, with lovely private gardens, yet is within walking distance of the market town of Hebden Bridge.

Access to Ivy House is along a private lane to Great Burlees Farm.

This four-bedroom, semidetach­ed home has wonderful period features that blend easily with modern additions.

A traditiona­l battened timber door leads in to the stone-flagged entrance hall, with access to living areas and a home office.

In the dining room is an inglenook fireplace and multifuel stove.

Natural light pours through double-height mullion windows in to the lounge, that has amazing valley views. A huge stone fireplace and picture rails add further character.

Old and new meld in the kitchen with vaulted stone ceiling and locally made Drew Forsyth fitted units.

The utility room is a vaulted stone pantry with storage, while the beamed cloakroom and WC has stripped flooring.

A roomy hallway with fitted storage links to three first floor bedrooms.

With a double-height ceiling, oak beams and Velux rooflight, the main bedroom is spacious, with under-eaves storage.

Another bedroom has an external door, and two further rooms have glorious moorland views.

The luxurious main bathroom has a sunken bath directly below a Velux roof light, and an electric power shower cubicle.

The private garden with surroundin­g dry stone wall creates a safe haven, and has an alpine rockery, a bridged stream, tiered lawns and planted beds, with paved patio areas. A recently constructe­d garden room has panoramic views.
