      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Occupying a defined plot along Gawthorpe Lane, this property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a site with an existing home, alongside granted planning consent for the change of use and conversion of the attached barn into a second residential dwelling.

Set within an open rural landscape, the property enjoys wide, uninterrupted views across gently rolling green fields. The outlook extends over pasture bordered by dry-stone walls, mature hedgerows, and working farmlands. The site benefits from a clearly defined curtilage, driveway access, and allocated parking as shown on the approved layout. Grassland beyond the domestic grounds is to be retained, with additional tree planting included within the consented plans.

The existing dwelling offers significant potential for renovation, providing an appealing prospect for those looking to modernize a characterful home. Currently arranged as a well-proportioned three-bedroom, two-bathroom residence, it retains much of its original cottage charm, including exposed ceiling beams and deep-set windowsills that perfectly frame the surrounding countryside. 

The living room and dining room offer well-proportioned reception spaces, both featuring exposed beams. The living room is centred around a substantial stone fireplace, while the dining room provides a flexible space for family meals or entertaining. The kitchen is generous in size with a practical layout, ample worktop space and an original stone fireplace, offering excellent potential for updating while retaining its rustic charm. Just off the kitchen is the second entrance to the home, which provides ample space for storing muddy boots, along with an additional downstairs WC.

There are three bedrooms, including two comfortable doubles, all enjoying natural light. Each room offers a simple, adaptable layout suitable for a range of uses. The accommodation is completed by a functional family bathroom fitted with a modern white suite and shower enclosure, with scope for cosmetic enhancement if desired.

The approved scheme presents a thoughtfully designed barn conversion that respects the building's heritage while creating a well-balanced two-storey layout. The ground floor features an open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area, complemented by a separate snug or study and a spacious living room with garden access. The first floor contains three bedrooms and a central family bathroom.

Life in Gawthorpe

Gawthorpe offers a quieter side of Huddersfield living, with a distinctly local, down-to-earth feel. Set just east of the town centre, the area balances everyday convenience with pockets of green space and long-standing community roots. You'll find familiar independent shops, takeaways and local pubs close at hand, alongside easy access to larger supermarkets and amenities in Huddersfield itself.

For commuters, Gawthorpe is well placed: regular bus routes link directly into the town centre, while road connections make travel across Kirklees and beyond straightforward. Nearby green spaces and canal-side walks provide welcome breathing room, ideal for dog walks or a slower weekend pace.
