This lovely stone-built home for sale in the village of Warley has had some distinguis­hed owners, including the writer Dr Phyllis Bentley, and Patrick Bronte, the father of renowned siblings and writers Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Bronte, and of Branwell Bronte.

Set within its own, mature grounds and landscaped gardens, the Grade ll listed detached property is offered for sale along with a one-totwo bedroom separate coach house.

The main house has a grand entrance hall with gallery landing. With exposed stonework, and overhead beams, it has a striking carved timber staircase rising to the first floor, and an understair­s wine store.

There’s a high spec, shaker-style breakfast kitchen by Drew Forsyth with a central island and a black, five-oven

Aga.

A stone fireplace with stove in the dining room bears the engraved initials of a former village vicar, and there’s a separate sitting room, a study or snug, a utility with appliances, and a WC.

Off a half-landing is a laundry room, while the gallery landing on the first floor has a library with seating area and eaves storage.

The beamed principal bedroom has fitted furniture, with a modern en suite shower room. Three further bedrooms, with one used currently as a dressing room, are served by two house bathrooms with free-standing baths.

The detached coach house provides high spec accommodat­ion, with a breakfast kitchen, a sitting room with lift access to the first floor, a ground floor office with external access, and a WC. From the first floor landing there's a sitting room and bedroom, a large double-shower room and laundry room, and the beamed main bedroom.
