Branshaw House
Branshaw House provides an outstanding opportunity to acquire one of the finest family house in the area.

It has been in the same family ownership for almost 40 years.

There is also an additional double garage at the bottom of the drive, close to the entrance gates. The superb gardens and grounds surround the property and adjoin Branshaw Golf Club to the side and rear boundaries. They crate a particular feature and provide privacy and seclusion.
Oakworth is an attractive Pennine village outlooking the Worth Valley, lying between the village of Haworth and the larger town of Keighley, in the heart of West Yorkshire’s Bronte Country. Oaskworth’s main claim to fame is probably as a station on the Keighly and Worth Valley railway line, and as such was used in location filming of the classic 1970 film version of E E Nesbitt’s novel, The Railway Children. Besides its close proximity to Haworth and the Pennine moors, the village offer a varied range of everyday facilities and amenities (most are within walking distance of Branshaw House) and it is within comfortable daily travelling distance of the surrounding towns and West Yorkshire business centres.
