GOSPEL HALL FARM“My wife and I had lived in Clifton village for years before we bought Gospel Hall Farm,” says Richard, “and we had walked passed the property many times and always hoped that one day it would come up for sale. Well, that day finally came in 2002 and we snapped it up.” This beautiful home occupies a truly stunning location, right in the heart of the West Yorkshire countryside. It is enveloped by rolling countryside, and due to its slightly elevated position enjoys a panorama of magnificent views.

Seller Insight “The house was in quite a sorry state when we purchased it,” says Richard, “and so we immediately embarked upon

an extensive project of renovation; we didn’t move in until 2004. We completely demolished the back section and then rebuilt it to increase the size quite considerably. It’s now very bright and airy throughout, and we’ve added French windows in various rooms and enlarged some of the other windows to really bring the beauty of our surroundings into the house.” “We’ve actually just recently redecorated,” adds Carole, “and so the house is in tip-top condition and looks lovely.”

As well as a beautifully landscaped garden this exceptional property also boasts around four acres of grazing land. “We own the fields to the back of the property,” says Richard, “and so not only are we not overlooked, but they enable us to generate an income of around £600 a month. We have stables and a tack room, which allow us to have up to six horses on the land, and because there’s also a separate entrance we’re not bothered by horse boxes rattling past the house.”

“We’re situated just outside the village of Clifton, which is a very sought after place,” says Richard, “but we’re close enough for it to be just a stroll away. It has two very nice pubs and an excellent school, for which we are in the catchment area.” “A little further afield we have Brighouse, which we can also walk to,” adds Carole, “and there you can find some lovely shops and also a mainline station.” “This is actually a surprisingly convenient location,” says Richard. “We’re surrounded by countryside and there are more horses here than cars, but we have excellent transport links.”

“We’ve decided to move to be closer to our daughter,” says Richard, “but we’ll both be very sorry to leave our beautiful home. It’s a very special place and we know that we shall struggle to find somewhere quite as wonderful.”*


The kitchen is a really wonderful part of the house,” says Richard, “and is the room to which we naturally tend to gravitate.” “When we carried out the renovations we installed a huge picture window,” adds Carole, “so we can sit and eat while enjoying the beauty of our surroundings.”


“You really can’t appreciate the full beauty of our setting until you approach the house itself,” says Carole, “but from the garden the views are absolutely incredible. On a clear day we can see right the way to

The Pennines.”


“We have a lovely dining room for more formal occasions,” says Richard, “which also takes in the views. We have a small bar and my wife’s grand piano in there, and it has provided

the perfect backdrop to some really memorable occasions.”
