'Homes of this calibre very rarely come to market.'
A remarkable piece of Yorkshire's history, the Grade I-listed High Bentley Manor, near Halifax, has come to market with boutique estate agency Mr & Mr Child.
Dating back over 800 years, the manor is officially recognised by Historic England as 'the only complete Yorkshire aisled hall which retains both its service and solar wings in timber framing'.
'It is a building of extraordinary rarity, yet it remains a warm, welcoming family home,' say Mr & Mr Child.
'Set in two acres of gardens with sweeping views over much-loved Judy Woods and even as far as Emley Moor, High Bentley Manor blends ancient craftsmanship with 21st-century living,' the agency adds.
'Inside, there’s a grand great hall with minstrels' gallery, a billiard room, five double bedrooms, and a handcrafted Drew Forsyth & Co kitchen created in 2021.'
'It always feels special'
'Every morning the view still takes my breath away,' says the current owner.
'It changes with the light and the seasons and always feels special.'
The manor’s location adds another layer of appeal. Halifax has become one of the north’s most recognisable backdrops thanks to hit TV series including Happy Valley, Last Tango in Halifax, and Gentleman Jack.
'High Bentley Manor is one of the most significant historic homes we’ve ever represented,' says James Child, director at Mr & Mr Child.
'It’s a landmark of Yorkshire’s architectural heritage, yet it feels deeply lived-in and loved.
'Homes of this calibre very rarely come to market.'
Situated within easy reach of the M62 and Halifax town centre, the property has excellent access to Manchester, Leeds, and Bradford.
