A Grade II listed farmhouse with a traditional range of outbuildings and equestrian facilities overlooking the Colne Valley with about 35 acres.
Jordans Farm is listed as being of Architectural or Historical Interest Grade II and is believed to date from the 17th century constructed of a heavy timber frame under a peg-tiled roof with rendered elevations and a more recent extension. A front door leads into the sitting room with a natural brick floor and lovely inglenook fireplace with a large oak bressumer above housing a log burner, with the original staircase to the first floor. Also off the sitting room there is a dining room leading through to the inner hall, a second staircase, a study, a living room with exposed brick fireplace and inset wood burner and a third staircase to the first floor. Off the sitting room is the kitchen/breakfast room with an oil-fired Rayburn leading through to the utility room, pantry and shower room. Off the cloakroom lobby to the rear is a snug which could be used either as a sitting room, playroom or a guest suite with an en suite shower room. Also accessible off the cloakroom lobby is the bespoke conservatory overlooking the garden and pond.
Off the main landing are three bedrooms (one with an en suite shower room) and bathroom, and off the secondary landing a further two bedrooms and a bathroom.

To one side is a four-bay cart lodge (37' x 36') and to the other side a fenced paddock.

To the south of the house is a delightful well-stocked terrace, a suntrap, enclosed by a flint stone wall opening onto a further lawn area and ancillary outbuilding used for storing machinery. To one side is a kitchen garden.
The main barn (presently used for 'Bridal Re-Dress' and with change of use planning permission personal to the owner), is located to the north east of the house. There is courtyard stabling with traditional red-brick outbuildings including a former dairy with a tack/groom's room, gravelled courtyard, kennels and access to the paddocks and grassland.

Without a doubt there are two large driving forces for people moving to the area. The excellent range of private and state schools. The grammar schools annually top the league tables across the country. The range of private schools offer a more tailored education and are exceptionally well sought after. The second, being value for money, although, as the town grows, house prices within the area look to rise steadily within the coming years.
