Hoyle House, Sowerby Bridge, HX6 2UD

Sold prior to marketing Steeped in rich West Yorkshire history, Hoyle House stands as a remarkable piece of local heritage.

Originally constructed circa 1614 for John Ramsden—a prominent local landowner—as a single, high-status timber-framed farmhouse and hub of the local wool trade, this historic home was later subdivided into individual dwellings in the 19th century.

Built with heavy early 17th-century vernacular character, traditional stone slate roofing, lime mortar, and double-chamfered stone mullion windows, the exterior is adorned by its most historically significant detail: an original ram-shaped decorative rainwater head celebrating the Ramsden family name and the prosperous sheep farming history that built it.

Stepping inside, the ground floor opens into a lovely kitchen and dining space featuring original stone flooring, a classic Belfast sink, mullion windows, and convenient under-stairs laundry and utility storage.

Beyond lies the south-facing living room boasting high ceilings, spectacular exposed open beams, and an intact chimney with its original cast-iron fireback still in situ, filling the space with character and warmth.

The first floor continues to impress with stunning architectural detail, anchored by original, massive oak king-post trusses dating back to the 1614 build.

The spacious landing includes a generous dedicated storage room alongside a three-piece bathroom suite.

Two expansive bedrooms feature lofty ceilings and exposed timber work; the south-facing front bedroom showcases original wooden flooring and far-reaching views across Sowerby Bridge and the surrounding hillsides, while the peaceful rear bedroom is fully carpeted.

Outside, the property is enriched by versatile outdoor spaces. A dedicated front parking area accommodates two vehicles comfortably, framed by a charming cottage garden directly off the front windows.

Additional grounds include an outside stone toilet block ideal for garden storage, a tiered garden to the rear, and an extended long garden complete with a summer house tucked into the lower tier.
