Description
Once a derelict relic of Yorkshire’s industrious past, Lench House Farm has been reborn through a remarkable restoration, it has been a labour of love that honours its origins as a 19th-century broom workshop.
With its pretty south-facing façade, expansive countryside views, and the soothing sounds of birdsong and the nearby stream, this is a home that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature. The morning light spills across the fields; evenings bring spectacular sunsets from the raised decking beneath the pergola, all in all its a perfect backdrop for al fresco dining or a quiet glass of wine.
Inside, the house combines original character with bespoke craftsmanship. From stone-mullioned windows and exposed beams to the hand-built kitchen with AGA and flagstone floors, every detail reflects thoughtful restoration and timeless design.
The heart of the home is the spacious dining kitchen, where family and friends can gather around the central island. Double doors open to the formal dining room, rich in warmth and atmosphere with an AGA multi-fuel stove set into the original chimney breast.
The lounge is a serene space for relaxation, its picture window framing uninterrupted countryside views, while a further reception room or sixth bedroom offers flexibility, it is ideal for guests, a playroom, or home office.
Upstairs, the principal suite enjoys a sense of calm and luxury, complete with a bespoke en suite wet room and idyllic garden views. There are five further bedrooms, three with their own en suites, and a beautifully appointed house bathroom featuring a freestanding roll-top bath, all finished with bespoke fixtures and fine materials.
The Grounds
Designed for both entertaining and everyday enjoyment, the gardens flow naturally around the house. The south-facing lawn and terraces offer year-round interest, framed by dry-stone walls and mature planting.
For those seeking wellness and recreation at home, two bespoke outbuildings with bi-fold doors provide beautifully finished spaces, one currently a gym, the other a hot-tub spa retreat. Simply ideal for unwinding while gazing out to open countryside.
There is ample parking for several vehicles, a garage and car port, and a large detached stone barn with mezzanine home office, perfect for creative pursuits, classic car storage, or conversion (subject to permissions).
In Summary
Lench House Farm offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of West Yorkshire’s heritage, reimagined for modern living. Perfectly private yet well connected, it balances rural authenticity with contemporary sophistication.
