Summary - SAWTER HOUSE BARN, MILL BANK ROAD, SOWERBY BRIDGE, MILL BANK HX6 3DY
7 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious family home with annexe and expansive rural grounds.
Approximately 11.16 acres of enclosed grazing land ideal for equestrian use
Set on about 11.16 acres of enclosed grazing land in Mill Bank, Sawter House Barn is a Grade II listed, barn-style home rebuilt in 1989 with a separate three-bedroom cottage annexe. The main house offers four bedrooms, generous reception rooms with open and multi-fuel fires, and a sunroom opening onto south-east facing terraces and tiered lawns with far-reaching valley views. The cottage has its own entrance, garden and independent accommodation — well suited to extended family use or as income potential subject to consents.
The property will particularly suit families who value space, privacy and outdoor life; nearby St Mary’s C of E primary is about 0.3 miles away and local secondary schooling is good. The large plot is practical for equestrian or smallholding uses with natural spring water feeding the land, gated parking for around six cars and a detached garage. Interiors combine character stonework and fitted bespoke joinery with functional modern heating (gas central in the main house, combi boiler in the cottage).
Important practical points: the listing status restricts changes and may complicate extensions or redevelopment, and any commercial use or change of use (such as formal holiday or rental lets or equestrian enterprise) will require the necessary consents. Broadband speeds are currently around 10Mbps (potential up to 80Mbps in future) and council tax is in a higher band. These are factual considerations for buyers planning significant modernisation or business use.
Overall, this is a substantial countryside home with flexible living arrangements, generous land and classic Yorkshire views — ideal for multi-generational living, equestrian pursuits or buyers seeking a character property with clear development or income potential where permissions allow.
