An exciting opportunity to convert a substantial Nissen-style building into a striking contemporary five-bedroom dwelling, with Prior Approval in place. Ideal for purchasers seeking a rare opportunity to create an individual contemporary residence in a desirable rural yet accessible location.
The property occupies a pleasant semi-elevated position between Riddlesden and West Morton, enjoying open views across the Aire Valley while remaining convenient for Keighley, Bingley and wider West Yorkshire.
Prior Approval for conversion to a five-bedroom dwelling was granted by Bradford Metropolitan Borough Council on 8 January 2025
(Ref: 24/04454/PAR). Full details and plans are available via the local authority website.
The approved scheme provides accommodation arranged over two floors, with the building divided by a covered courtyard and linked by a glazed central passage. Integral garaging is included, together with a decked seating area to the south-east gable.

Additional Land
Approximately 3.89 hectares (9.62 acres) of adjoining meadow and pasture land is available by separate negotiation. The land lies to the south and east of the building. Access rights will be reserved over any retained land, and boundary fencing will be the responsibility of the purchaser if the land is acquired.
