A unique opportunity to purchase this magnificent historic aisled timber framed, semi-detached barn conversion which occupies an exceptional rural setting within the Shibden Valley. The property is grade II listed and has been converted to a high specification finish. It has delightful gardens to the rear and rural views.
Overview
ABOUT THE AISLED BARN
This unique grade II listed building is originally believed to date back to the 17th century and is attached to a former farmhouse. The property is of stone built construction under a stone slate roof and features a wonderful original aisled timber frame. Our clients purchased the property as an unused barn and commissioned the renovation works, completing the conversion to exacting standards.
It enjoys a superb rural setting in the much admired Shibden Valley and is located towards the end of a winding unmade track. It originally formed part of Scout Hall Farm which was within the curtilage of Scout Hall, a noted stately home which was the home of a local silk merchant.
The internal accommodation features a large open plan space which incorporates living, dining and kitchen areas with a polished concrete floor and exposed crook frame with the ceiling open to the eaves and double height. The principal bedroom is also located on this floor and is of a good size with large picture windows to the front and rear. There is a large en-suite bathroom off the bedroom.
A cantilevered wooden staircase with glazed balustrade leads up to the second floor. Off the landing there are two further double bedrooms, bathroom and separate WC.
The renovation works included heavy insulation to the walls and ceiling, bespoke wooden double glazed windows (by the Green Building Store) and a wet underfloor heating system to the ground floor. It is connected to mains electricity. It is connected to a spring water supply shared with 4 other properties and drainage is to its own private sewage treatment plan.
To the rear of the house there is an attractively landscaped garden area with ornamental pond and a further lawned garden beyond.
Available as an additional extra by separate negotiation, there are over 12 acres of additional grazing land, ideal for equestrian use, grazing and mowing. This includes a detached workshop / forge.
Also available by separate negotiation is a modern steel framed blockwork building which incorporates stables, a studio space with kitchenette, shower and outside wc and the central heating boiler and water purification system.

LOCATION
The property is located roughly 2 miles from the centre of Halifax and can be approached via a number of different routes. We suggest taking the A58 towards Leeds off the Orange Street roundabout and passing over Burdock Way (a high level bridged section of road), then turning left following the signs for Boothtown. Take the first right onto Haley Hill immediately after the car dealership. Continue along here up the hill, turning left at the top onto Range Bank. Then continue up Bradford Old Road until you reach the top of the hill and Halifax Ski and Snowboard centre. Cross the main road onto the Cobbles – this is Lee Lane.
.
Follow the cobbles down before you read a sharp S-bend, then turn left onto an unmade track which runs to the top side of a large Georgian style house. Continue along this lane which leads through the woods and down to Scout Hall and cluster of other smaller buildings. The Aisled Barn will be found at the foot of this lane.
