Moving in Middle Skyreholme: what to know first
The houses sit at the junction where Skyreholme Lane, a minor tarmac road, meets Skyreholme Bank, a tarmac access lane that climbs to the hill farms and crosses the beck on a small bridge. With the beck beside the houses, the room for a van is the junction and the house drives, so say which is yours and whether it slopes. Further up there is a cafe, a gift shop and a customer car park near Parcevall Hall.
Middle Skyreholme: the local picture
Skyreholme Beck runs right past the houses. Cracked Castle, a name already on the 1853 Ordnance Survey map, is the nearest dwelling to the junction, and New Barn House and Breare Close are close by. Ridge End House, a four-bay stone house with a datestone of 1747, and the 17th-century Lane House Farmhouse, with external steps to an upper door, are both listed. Simons Seat Farmhouse, 18th century with an inglenook inside, is a little further off.
Parcevall Hall stands just north: a 16th-century house, Grade II*, now a retreat and conference centre leased by the Anglican Diocese of Leeds, with 24 acres of gardens open to the public from April to October. While the gardens are open, it pays to name the day and time you want early.

Frequently asked questions: man with a van in Middle Skyreholme
The house has a name but no number. Is that enough?
With BD23 6DE, yes, as long as the name is one the postcode covers; several houses up here share it. Saying you are by the Skyreholme Bank junction or near Parcevall Hall pins it down.
Can you deliver to a retreat guest or staff at Parcevall Hall?
We can move furniture or boxes to or from the hall's buildings by arrangement, with the loading and carrying included. Clear the time with the hall's staff first, since it runs as a retreat house.
Will the van have to drive through a ford?
No. The fords around Skyreholme Beck are on footpaths, and both Skyreholme Lane and Skyreholme Bank cross the water on bridges.
