The terraced Sowerby Hall is a grade II listed period property with features such as exposed wooden beams, original stone walls, inglenook fireplaces and parquet flooring.
It's a sizeable place with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and enclosed gardens.
Built in 1646 by Joshua Horton, the house has an inscription above the doorway 'IH 1646 JH' that refers to Joshua’s first wife, Isabel, who died in 1651 and was buried at Sowerby.
There's a snippet of history that claims the building was instructed to be built by one of the signatories on Charles 1 death warrant.
Despite its original age, the house is well adapted to modern family life, with bright and spacious rooms.
It is close to Sowerby Bridge, with good schools nearby and accessible transport links by road and rail.
A door in the beamed entrance hall is thought to be centuries old. A w.c. and utility room are off the hall, that leads to the dining area and lounge.
