Selby House, Dam Head, Shibden, Halifax

Selby House presents a rare development opportunity in the heart of the highly sought-after Shibden Valley. Dating back to circa 1485, this substantial detached historic residence retains a wealth of authentic period features while offering generous accommodation in a tranquil yet accessible countryside setting.

Set close to the renowned Shibden Mill Inn and surrounded by the natural beauty of the Yorkshire landscape, the property combines rural charm with convenient access to local amenities and transport links. Off-road parking is available around the house, enhancing everyday practicality.

In addition to the main residence, the property includes a now-derelict barn, former stables and an outdoor swimming pool, all occupying a footprint comparable to the main house. These buildings may offer significant potential for redevelopment or conversion, subject to the necessary planning permissions and listed building consents.

For buyers with equestrian or lifestyle interests, grazing land extending to approximately 2 acres is also available.

Selby House is more than a home—it is a piece of local history, offering a compelling blend of heritage, space and future potential in one of Calderdale’s most desirable locations.
