Overview
About Bents Farm
Sitting in just over 10 acres of its own land, this former working farm offers excellent development opportunities or alternatively could be renovated into a private residence for equestrian, or other uses subject to planning permission being obtained.
The house is of traditional stone built construction under a pitched roof, as is the adjoining barn which has a brick built mistal spanning along the rear. The house currently comprises: entrance hall, dining kitchen, lounge, utility room and shower / wc on the ground floor. Upstairs, there are 4 bedrooms and a bathroom.
The adjoining barn is of a good size and features a long single storey mistal running along the rear. A historic planning permission was granted to convert the barn into 3 good sized dwellings.
There are a handful of other smaller buildings opposite the house, which are now falling into disrepair. Beyond this, a farmyard with 2 larger blocks of more modern buildings made up of a combination of steel framed and timber framed structures.
A driveway from Whams Road provides access up to the farm and there are fields surrounding the buildings on all sides.
Crow Edge is a small rural village, located between the popular market towns of Penistone and Holmfirth. It provides a perfect place to access the M1 motorway network with Sheffield, Leeds and Manchester all accessible. This is an opportunity not to be missed, and we recommend booking an appointment to view to fully appreciate all that it has to offer.
