Nine-bedroom former mill owner's house would make a lovely hotel

Dating back to 1804, Thorpe House was a former cotton mill owner's mansion and is set back off the A58, between Triangle and Ripponden. The five acres of mature established grounds incorporate two garages, a large lake with swans and an abundance of wild life, and a former swimming pool

This is a truly magnificent Grade II-Listed house, boasting a wealth of period features and providing an extensive array of accommodation laid out over two floors (there is a lift to the first floor). The reception hall has a sweeping staircase, the living room an open grate to an original marble fireplace, there are stained glass windows and ornate carvings everywhere you look.

The property has been in the same ownership some 60 years and in recent years has been successfully run as a bed and breakfast. However, subject to the relevant planning permission it would suit a variety of uses from a private residence to small hotel, wedding venue, nursing home, head office, etc.

Thorpe House is on the market for £1,750,000.
