Seller Insight This eye-catching barn has been stunningly renovated by Peter, one of its owners, who designed its layout and project managed

its transformation. With assistance from local artisans and craftsmen, it is a home which respects its history and original architecture. Set amidst glorious open, unspoilt, countryside and yet near to an abundance of excellent amenities.

Shopping in the vicinity could not be easier with the local farm shop being very close. Schools are located within easy reach and a choice of urban centres such as Barnsley, Huddersfield, Sheffield and Leeds are all easily accessible. Theatres, restaurants, art galleries and museums are in the larger towns, whilst there are plenty of activities taking place locally. The golf course is just a few minutes from the house and the local pub is renowned for its award winning ale. The Trans Pennine Railway for journeys further afield is also very within easy access, and road links in the area are extremely good.

“Having had many years experience as an architect, this was a project Peter relished from the very beginning. Built of local stone and topped with its Welsh slate roof, it blends in perfectly with its locality, is visually stunning, and it has been a much treasured home or us both since 1991.

“We have two large reception rooms, one being utilised as an activities room, whilst the other is slightly more formal but, at the same time, is welcoming and comfortable. This room features a fireplace which is well utilised in the winter months.

“Our garden is large has been landscaped to become part of its wider environs. We have a stream running through and I designed an attractive bridge which spans the stream. At the end of the garden there is a functional log cabin which I utilise as an independent office.”*
