Hollings Mill Farm, Sladen Bridge, Stanbury, Keighley, West Yorkshire, BD22

A BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED PERIOD FARMHOUSE SET WITHIN APPROXIMATELY 4.6 ACRES OF PRIVATE GROUNDS, WHERE CHARACTER, TRANQUILLITY, AND NATURE COME TOGETHER

Dating back to around 1850, Hollings Mill Farm is an exceptional stone-built farmhouse occupying a truly idyllic setting on the edge of Stanbury. Surrounded by approximately 4.6 acres of gardens, woodland, and pasture, with a gently flowing stream winding through the grounds, this is a home that offers complete immersion in the countryside without sacrificing convenience.

Beautifully restored throughout – including all new windows installed in 2023 – the property effortlessly combines authentic period character with carefully considered contemporary finishes. Exposed beams, stone mullion windows, flagstone floors, and two impressive log-burning stoves sit comfortably alongside luxurious bathrooms and a bespoke family kitchen, creating interiors that feel both timeless and welcoming.

Every principal room enjoys picturesque views over the gardens, stream, or surrounding woodland, while the peaceful soundtrack of birdsong and running water reinforces the sense of rural escape that makes this home so special.

GROUND FLOOR
The welcoming entrance hall immediately establishes the home's character, with traditional flagstone flooring, a skylight filling the space with natural light, and bespoke fitted storage providing a practical place for coats and shoes.

UTILITY/BOOT ROOM
A generously proportioned utility and boot room has been designed with country living in mind. Exposed beams, dual-aspect mullion windows, and two skylights create a wonderfully light space, while bespoke cupboards, shelving, seating, and extensive storage provide the perfect place to remove muddy boots after countryside walks. Additional base units, worktops, and a sink further enhance its practicality.

LOUNGE
The lounge is full of warmth and period charm. Flagstone flooring, exposed timber beams, stone mullion windows with window seats, and a handsome log-burning stove create an inviting retreat, while the staircase rises from this room to the first floor.

DINING/SITTING ROOM
Providing an equally impressive entertaining space, the dining and sitting room enjoys a triple-aspect outlook that floods the room with natural light throughout the day. Timber floorboards, a second log-burning stove set within an impressive stone fireplace, built-in recessed shelving, and window seating combine to create a wonderfully atmospheric room equally suited to formal dining or relaxed family evenings.

KITCHEN
The kitchen has been beautifully designed to complement the character of the house while providing everything required for modern family life. Duck-egg-blue cabinetry is paired with elegant white granite worktops, while a central island comfortably seats up to six, creating a sociable heart of the home. A Franke Belfast sink by Villeroy & Boch, twin NEFF ovens with warming drawer, five-ring induction hob, extractor hood, and integrated Kenwood dishwasher complete the specification. Dual-aspect windows frame beautiful views across the gardens towards the surrounding woodland, while a traditional stable door provides direct access outside.

WC
The cloakroom continues the home's thoughtful design, featuring flagstone flooring, a skylight, stylish Bee wallpaper, and a vanity unit beneath the wash basin.

FIRST FLOOR
The character continues upstairs, where exposed stonework, original beams and built-in storage enhance the landing.

FOUR BEDROOMS
The principal bedrooms each enjoy their own unique outlook over the surrounding grounds and stream. One features charming stone mullion windows overlooking the water alongside fitted wardrobes and an attractive cast-iron fireplace. Another offers exposed beams, window seating, fitted wardrobes and soft plush carpeting, while a further bedroom benefits from triple-aspect views across the gardens and stream together with fitted wardrobes and drawers. The remaining bedroom, currently styled as a delightful children's room, enjoys dual-aspect windows, fitted wardrobes and offers flexibility as either a generous single or comfortable double bedroom.

SHOWER ROOM
The family shower room has been finished to a particularly high standard, incorporating a rainfall shower with illuminated recessed niche, Imperial wash basin, heated towel rail and elegant wall lighting, with a window seat overlooking the stream adding yet more character.

FAMILY BATHROOM
Equally impressive, the family bathroom combines traditional styling with luxurious finishes, featuring half-panelled walls, tiled flooring, a freestanding bath with mixer shower attachment, heated towel rail, vanity unit and an illuminated recessed shelf, all complemented by peaceful views over the flowing water outside.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS
The setting is undoubtedly one of Hollings Mill Farm's defining features.

Accessed through automated entrance gates, the private driveway leads to a single garage, adjoining carport and generous parking.

Immediately surrounding the house, beautifully landscaped cottage gardens feature expansive lawns, colourful flower borders, mature shrubs, and winding stepping-stone pathways. A substantial stone terrace provides an idyllic setting for outdoor dining and entertaining while enjoying the peaceful woodland surroundings.

Beyond the gardens, the grounds extend into a large paddock complete with a summer house, offering endless opportunities for recreation, family enjoyment or simply appreciating the remarkable natural setting.

Crossing the stream reveals a further lawned area with mature bamboo, creating a wonderfully secluded space to relax amongst nature. The gentle sound of flowing water, abundant birdlife, and surrounding woodland combine to create an atmosphere that feels wonderfully private and removed from everyday life.

A garden and coal store, together with additional outbuildings, provide useful practical storage.
