Ponden Hall, Grade II listed house near Stanbury, England
The stone farmhouse features traditional Yorkshire architectural elements with latticed windows, central portico, and original wooden beams throughout its interior spaces.
Built in 1634 by Robert Heaton for his son Michael, the property incorporated an older structure from 1541 and underwent major reconstruction in 1801.
The house contained Yorkshire's largest private library in the early 1800s, attracting regular visits from the Bronte children who read books and played with Heaton family.
The building contains eight bedrooms in the main structure and two additional rooms in the annex, functioning as accommodation for visitors since 2014.
Two intertwined pear trees on the grounds mark the location where a young boy planted them to express his feelings for Emily Bronte.
