"A beautifully converted Grade II-Listed barn conversion with south-facing garden and stunning views towards the Pennines"
The Property
Situated on a generous south-facing plot with uninterrupted views toward the Pennines, Bastle House is a Grade II Listed barn conversion that has been sensitively reimagined from its 17th-century origins. Originally defined by its bastle wall, this historic property marries exposed stonework, original beams, and architectural details with modern comforts.
Underfloor heating runs throughout the house, with engineered oak and tiled floors complementing the natural textures of the exposed beams and stonework. The ground floor has been thoughtfully arranged to create an easy flow between the main living spaces. Anchored by a stone fireplace, the spacious living room transitions into a well-proportioned dining area, which enjoys garden views through large windows.
The central kitchen is bright and airy, featuring marble worktops, integrated appliances, and a standalone dresser that provides both character and practicality. Adjacent to the kitchen, the family room enjoys an abundance of natural light and centres around a wood-burning stove, creating a warm focal point. At the opposite end of the kitchen, a generously sized utility room—complete with a boiler cupboard—serves as a practical drying space, alongside a convenient WC.
Upstairs, the bedrooms are beautifully decorated and framed by impressive original beams and trusses. All rooms accommodate king-size or super-king beds, with three bedrooms benefitting from en-suites finished to a high standard. The family bathroom completes the first floor with a freestanding bath and a separate rainfall shower.
Externally
The south-facing garden takes full advantage of its position, offering far-reaching views of the Pennines, while a small stream marks the rear boundary. A stone-built garden house with underfloor heating, power, and phone connectivity provides versatile space, ideal for use as a home office, studio, or garden retreat.
The garage, accessed via the original cart doors, includes a secure, heated storage room with light and power offering an excellent space for valuables. Parking is also plentiful. Additional features include a Gabriel Ash greenhouse, a hot tub and a raised Koi Pond while the surrounding countryside ensures peace, privacy, and an idyllic setting.
Agents Note
The property is part of a residents’ management company, which oversees the maintenance and running of shared amenities, including the access road, liability insurance, sewage expenses and the biosphere system. Each property holds shares in the management company, with owners entitled to a seat on the board as directors. A monthly maintenance charge of £90 is applicable, covering the above and including a small surplus to account for unforeseen costs.
