Towngate, Sowerby Bridge
detached house 
5 bedrooms Property description
TWO CHARACTER HOMES IN ONE – WITH CHARMING GARDENS, VICTORIAN GRANDEUR, AND INCOME POTENTIAL
Once a grand 19th-century Conservative Club, this elegant stone building has been lovingly transformed into a spacious five-bedroom period home with a self-contained one-bedroom apartment – ideal for multi-generational living or as an income stream (subject to any necessary consents).
Brimming with original features including cornicing, flagged floors, and fireplaces, the main house blends heritage charm with thoughtful updates. Outside, a series of beautifully landscaped gardens, workshops, and a vaulted wine cellar create an idyllic and versatile retreat within close proximity to Sowerby Bridge.
“Peaceful, private, the perfect family home. We've put our heart and soul into it; done it all up. You don't live somewhere for 52 years unless you're really happy there.” - Current homeowner
