The magnificent Crosland Hall at Netherton must surely be one of the finest examples of country living in West Yorkshire.

This week’s Our House feature gives Examiner readers the chance to take a glimpse inside this prestigious home, which has just come on to the local housing market at £2 million.

Despite its grandeur and the imposing price tag however, it is in use today as a warm and welcoming family home.

Although the property’s postcode is Netherton, the elegant Georgian country house is situated in the hamlet of Healey House, just to the side of the sweeping Healey House bend, and is an integral part of the local area.

Sitting in 11 acres of garden, woodland and fields, the current house dates back to 1792, when it is believed to have been built for a local mill/factory owner in Healey House, which is relevant to its address of Crosland Factory Lane.

There is evidence that the remains of an original Crosland Hall manor house can still be seen in Healey House, which date back to the 1300s and belonged to the Beaumont family, a name popular in the local area with Beaumont Park and The Beaumont Arms public house etc.

The Crosland Hall country estate includes the main hall with a more recently added orangery, a separate cottage with three bedrooms, a patio and generous living accommodation, and a tennis court. There are two large ponds, a sweeping driveway with remote control wrought iron gates and stunning gardens, which are currently in bloom with a carpet of bluebells and colourful rhododendrons.

The former coach house has more recently been sold off and converted into a private home.

The interior of Crosland Hall is surprisingly contemporary and provides a beautiful combination of period features and modern styling.

Rich in character it has high ceilings, deep skirtingboards, solid wood flooring, panelled doors, ornate cornice and frieze work, ceiling roses and deep sash windows.

On the ground-floor is a large entrance hall with a 30 ft high atrium with a galleried landing.

Leading off this is the kitchen and orangery, the kitchen being fitted with a hand crafted Chalon kitchen, granite work surfaces, butler’s sink and central island.

A formal dining room with views over the garden, a spacious study and three further reception rooms are also on the ground-floor.

Upstairs, the main hall has six bedrooms including a large master with vast en-suite bathroom and a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden.

Two of the bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom while the others also have their own en-suite facilities.

Outside is a new terrace, which includes a stone pizza oven for al fresco dining.

Although everything about this house is on a grand scale, it still provides a warm and welcoming family home, which is part of a local community and close to Netherton and Meltham.

The property is being marketed by Yorkshire’s Finest, which can be contacted on 01484 689880.
