Ideal purchase for an extended family, potential to split or create additional holiday lets.
Council Tax Band: B
Tenure: Freehold
Description:
A unique opportunity to purchase a total of five individual, characterful properties, to include three imposing Grade II listed terraced houses, a charming bungalow and a partly converted barn which remains unfinished, all set within extensive grounds, with mature trees and a stream running through the garden.
This cluster of impressive properties will appeal to a wide range of purchasers and offers many different alternatives and options for use. This would especially appeal to an extended family, with each property being within close proximity, yet still retaining their own private spaces. Each property is on its own freehold title so once purchased, could be sold off individually or it would make an excellent rental investment. No. 16 is currently rented out as a short-term holiday let. All set on a substantial plot with cobbled courtyard, turning area and parking areas, generous double garage, extensive gardens with mature trees and planting.
The properties retain a wealth of period features and rustic charm including mullioned windows, exposed stonework, beams and stone fire surrounds. All four properties are finished to a good modern standard, complimented by double glazing and gas fired central heating.
Located to the south of the historic mill town of Halifax, within a small area known as Salterhebble. Rookery Lane is off Salterhebble Hill which leads into the town centre which boasts an array of shops, bars, restaurants, schooling for all ages, Calderdale Hospital and the Halifax Piece Hall for live music events. Positioned within a picturesque setting and close proximity to the historical buildings in and around Halifax, with many walks and cycle paths along the canal towards Brighouse or Sowerby Bridge.
Further details on the planning for the conversion of the barn can be found via Calderdale Planning Department under ref. 19/01041/con.

***GUIDE PRICE: £1.2,000,000***
Important Notice:
For each Lot, a contract documentation fee of £1800 (inclusive of VAT) is payable to the Auctioneers by the buyer. The seller may charge additional fees payable upon completion. If applicable, such fees are detailed within the Special Conditions of Sale. Buyers are deemed to bid in full knowledge of this.
The Guide Price quoted must not be relied upon by prospective purchasers as a valuation or assessment of value of the property. It is intended to provide purchasers with an indication of the region at which the reserve may be set at the time of going to press. The guide price may be subject to variation and interested parties are advised to make regular checks for variations and should be aware that the reserve price may be either below or above the quoted guide price.
Prospective purchasers should also be aware that the eventual sale price may be above or below the guide level dependent upon competition, and should therefore not presume the guide to be indicative of the final expected sale price or the price the property is available at.
**PLEASE CONTACT THE AUCTIONEERS AT [email protected] TO REQUEST A COPY OF THE LEGAL PACK, IF THIS IS AVAILABLE WE CAN EMAIL IT OVER TO YOU**
When setting the guide price, the auctioneers have given consideration to the seller’s instructions in respect of their indicated reserve price at the time of instruction. The reserve price, (the level below which the property will not be sold), remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer. The guide price therefore, is intended to indicate the region at which the reserve price is intended to be set. The seller will confirm their final reserve price close to the auction date and if appropriate the auctioneers may adjust the guide price to reflect this.
Whilst the auctioneers make every effort to ensure the safety and security of viewers at properties, we have not carried out a detailed Health & Safety inspection of properties in our auctions and cannot therefore guarantee the safety and security of viewers.
Prospective purchasers and bidders attend properties entirely at their own risk. Particular care should be taken when accessing cellars, attics, exterior grounds and outbuildings and boundaries. All non-conducted inspections of vacant sites should be made in daylight hours only and entry into such sites is entirely at the viewers risk.
Registration for bidding online will close the Friday before the auction sale. Please ensure you register and submit all the details and documents required in time. Without authorisation to bid prior to the sale you will be unable to bid in the auction
