This superb barn conversion occupies a pleasant little known setting which is close to the edge of the village yet within easy access of the village railway station and high school. The property was converted by our clients circa 1991 and offers spacious and well presented 4 bedroom accommodation. Properties of this type and setting are rare to the market and internal viewing is recommended.
Overview
About Haneleia
The property was originally an outbuilding of the adjacent Gynn House and was purchased by our clients in 1989 with conversion works completed in 1991 and is offered for the first time since then. It is constructed in natural stone beneath a stone slate roof and was tastefully extended to the rear circa 2020. Its name originates from the historic name for Honley.
It enjoys a pleasant setting tucked away off Gynn Lane and is linked to another property at the rear with part of Bedroom 2 extending over the garage of the neighbouring property. It sits within a pleasant cul-de-sac of houses off an unmade lane from Gynn Lane. This lane extends along to the village railway station and also would provide easy access to Honley High School.
It is entered on the ground floor via the central entrance hall which features reception rooms on either side of the front door. Both rooms have dual aspect windows and enjoy plenty of natural light. Also off the hall is the downstairs WC. Towards the rear of the house is the good sized dining kitchen which features bifolding doors to the rear garden and also provides access to the utility room.
Upstairs there is a landing area with 2 recessed store cupboards and access to the 4 bedrooms. The principal bedroom is of a good size, it features exposed beams to the ceiling, dual aspect windows and an en-suite shower room. Bedroom 2 is also a good sized double bedroom and features exposed roof truss and stonework. Bedroom 3 is again a double bedroom, whilst Bedroom 4 is a generous single bedroom. These 3 bedrooms are served by the house bathroom which has a modern 3 piece suite.
The property is well presented throughout with tasteful fixtures and fittings alongside the more traditional features. It has double glazed windows throughout (mostly with wooden frames) and a gas central heating system.
Externally, there is a generous driveway parking area to the front with lawned garden enclosed by a dry stone wall. A the side / rear of the house there is a further pleasant enclosed garden with lawn and 2 stone paved seating areas.
The property enjoys a much sought after location on the outskirts of the village and within easy reach of picturesque countryside whilst also remaining convenient for Honley’s many village amenities.
