Mulberry Brook, Manchester Road, Marsden, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire HD7 6LP

A substantial detached family home extending to over 3,000 sq ft, together with an annex and situated on approx 1.5 acre of land, set within a private and discreet position accessed via a private road.

Mulberry Brook is a well-presented and highly versatile property offering generous family accommodation in a private setting, whilst remaining convenient for local amenities, transport links and surrounding countryside. The property is set well back from the road and benefits from electric entrance gates, ample driveway parking and a further gated access point.

The accommodation includes a welcoming entrance hall, a range of spacious reception rooms comprising a sitting room, snug, study, formal dining room / home office, large principal lounge and a substantial games room, together with a recently refitted architect-designed dining kitchen finished to a high standard. The layout offers flexibility for a variety of family and multi-generational living arrangements, enhanced further by the inclusion of an annex.

There are five double bedrooms, including a generous principal suite with balcony, en-suite facilities and elevated views across the surrounding grounds and valley.

Externally, the property stands within extensive private gardens and grounds with lawned areas, mature trees and shrubs, together with a number of patio and terrace areas suited to outdoor dining and entertaining. The adjoining paddock-style field adds further appeal and potential for a variety of uses, subject to any necessary consents.

The site has been formally submitted to Kirklees Council through the Call for Sites process for the emerging Local Plan (reference CFS587). This process forms part of the Council’s ongoing review to identify land capable of supporting future housing growth, following a formal invitation for landowners to put forward sites for consideration.

Based on the scale and configuration of the land, the site is considered capable of accommodating a residential development of approximately 19 dwellings, subject to design, access, planning policy and all necessary consents. Interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries with the Local Planning Authority.

In addition, the site has also previously benefitted from planning permission for a substantial cattery development, demonstrating that the principle of development has been accepted historically, although this permission was not implemented and has now lapsed.
