This outstanding converted barn enjoys an enviable rural setting with stunning far reaching views. It offers spacious and flexible living accommodation with 5 bedrooms, extending to circa 2600 square feet which must be viewed internally to be appreciated. Externally there is a walled courtyard garden and parking area to the front and side with a further landscaped garden beyond.
Overview
The property was converted circa 2014 by the reputable local builder Anthony Dearnley Homes with our clients being the first owners from new. It is of traditional stone-built construction under a pitched stone slate roof and whilst appearing to be smaller than the other 4 houses within the row it actually offers an impressive 2600 sqft (approx.) of thoughtfully designed accommodation.
The main entrance is through a glazed door within a bank of windows into the spacious hall which also features a glazed panels above flooding the space with natural light. To the right hand side of the hall you will find a large dining kitchen with stone flagged floor and modern units which feature a large island. There is a downstairs WC off the hall and a utility room off the kitchen.
To the other side of the hall is a particularly good sized living room which again has a stone flagged floor, it also features a bank of glazing to the front and a chimney breast with reclaimed stone fireplace. Off the lounge are 2 further rooms, one used a formal dining room and the other an office / snug although we anticipate that buyers may look to use them in other ways if required.
After walking up the stairs to the first floor, the first thing to admire is the views through the rooflights over the galleried landing. Whilst all the rooms on this floor feature angled ceilings they offer plenty of space with exposed beams and rooflights throughout and restricted headroom is minimal.
The principal bedroom spans from the front to the rear and also has an en-suite. Bedroom 2 also has an en-suite and its own walk in dressing room. Two further bedrooms can accommodate double beds whilst Bedroom 5 is currently used as a study. These rooms are served by a superb house bathroom.
During the conversion works great care was taken to combine modern fittings with reclaimed stone and timbers to retain the feel of a barn. The property benefits from a gas fired central heating system with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor. The windows are timber framed and sealed unit double glazed.
Our clients have carried out extensive works to the grounds which feature two contrasting garden areas. There is a courtyard garden area which wraps around the front and side of the building, this is enclosed by a dry stone wall. A parking area is accessed via a sliding gateway, there is an electric vehicle charging point here. Opposite is a further landscaped garden area which is lawned with an ornamental pond, planting, borders and a paved seating area.
The property occupies a wonderful elevated location above the village of Meltham with breath-taking scenery and walking routes on the doorstep. There are two country pubs within a short distance of the property and excellent village amenities close by in Meltham, Slaithwaite and Marsden. The latter 2 villages also have railway stations on the Leeds-Manchester line.
