Set in around 4 acres of paddock and pasture, this stone-built barn conversion offers a rare rural home with on-site stables, paddocks and an all-weather arena — ideal for equestrian families or buyers seeking a smallholding. The house combines traditional features such as exposed beams and arched barn windows with modern fittings throughout, including a recently fitted kitchen with island and bifold doors that open to the garden.
Accommodation is arranged over two floors and feels larger than it first appears. The ground floor has a practical utility and downstairs WC, a dining room with a double-sided log-burning stove, a centrally positioned lounge and a separate study/playroom. Upstairs are four double bedrooms (high angled ceilings and beam work throughout), one en-suite and a family bathroom finished in a modern traditional style.
Externally the plot is a major asset: gated access, substantial hardstanding parking, detached double garage, a modern timber stable block with three loose boxes, tack and feed rooms, and subdivided paddocks. The setting provides open countryside views and good privacy while remaining within reach of Holmfirth, Huddersfield and local schools.
Important practical points: the property uses LPG central heating, drainage is to a private septic tank, and the Energy Performance Rating is low (EPC band F). Broadband speeds are very slow in this location and council tax is in the higher band. The walls are traditional stone construction without assumed cavity insulation, so buyers should consider running costs and potential improvement works.
