Whitley Farm House is a Grade II listed 17th/18th-century semi-detached farmhouse set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The house offers three double bedrooms, two reception rooms, a large country-style kitchen and generous outdoor space including an established front garden, courtyard and substantial stone outbuilding split into three units. Its combination of original features — exposed beams, low ceilings, original floorboards and a coal fire — gives clear period character and cosy living spaces suited to family life.
Practical points to note: the property has listed status which will restrict alterations and require specialist maintenance; the EPC is rated G and council tax sits in Band F, so running costs and upgrade needs are material considerations. There is one main bathroom plus a later extension with a shower room; two bedrooms overlook the garden and there is scope to convert an adjoining storage room to create an ensuite if desired (subject to listed-building constraints).
Externally the large private plot, mature planting and garden pond create a tranquil, semi-rural setting with a winding driveway and off-street parking. The sizeable stone outbuilding provides useful workshop, storage or flexible ancillary space. Location benefits include easy access to local schools, M1 and Sheffield city centre while still feeling remote — note the property sits in a hamlet/isolated setting and local crime statistics are reported as high, which some buyers will want to investigate further.
This home will suit buyers who value historic character and generous outside space and who are comfortable with the responsibilities of a listed building and the investment required to improve energy efficiency. It is offered freehold and chain free, making it ready for an owner who wants a distinctive countryside family home within commuting distance of the city.
