10 bedroom detached house for sale

Reeds Rains are delighted to present to the market Dawson Weir House, an exceptional Grade II-listed residence in Todmorden.

This historic property is celebrated for its “two faces” — a distinguished Georgian façade to the front and a characterful rustic rear, reflecting its origins as a 17th-century coaching inn, once known as the Coach and Horses. In the early 19th century, the house was acquired by prominent mill owner and Member of Parliament John “Honest” Fielden, who transformed it into a distinguished family residence.

From the moment you arrive, the home’s heritage is evident. A stone cobbled path leads to a beautiful arched portico framing the grand front entrance door, which opens into a formal vestibule still complete with its original bell. Period details greet you immediately: deep skirting boards, tiled flooring, and an original glass-panelled door with ornate stained glass.

The inner reception hall makes a striking first impression, with the sweeping main staircase rising to the first-floor landing. Formal reception rooms sit to either side of the hallway, offering grand, light-filled living spaces enhanced by high ceilings, decorative cornices, period fireplaces, and further exquisite original features.

To the rear, a bespoke kitchen is accessed via a versatile vaulted room and includes a walk-in pantry and a utility with access to the gardens. A secondary staircase rises to a separate landing, offering the potential for a self-contained suite.

Across the first and second floors, the accommodation is generous and flexible, providing 4–5 spacious bedrooms alongside additional study or office space. The principal bedroom boasts dual-aspect windows, high ceilings, and a private en suite, while the home also benefits from three further family bathrooms.

Externally, Dawson Weir House enjoys well-maintained grounds with ample parking, private south- and west-facing seating areas, and a detached garage. A private rear gate leads directly onto the canal towpath, offering immediate access to idyllic waterside walks and a superb lifestyle connection to the surrounding landscape.
