About Aldermans Head Cote Farm
The existing dwelling comprises of a stone built farm cottage which we understand was originally built circa 1840 and subsequently extended approximately 20 years later. The cottage is attached a much earlier stone built cruck framed barn – this is believed to date originally to the 16th century as a longhouse and was subsequently built up in stone during the 17th century. The barn is in turn attached at a right angle to a further house which is not within the ownership of the sale. We understand that the barn is grade II listed and the cottage is excluded from the listing but would still be classed as within the curtilage of a listed building.

It is located up an unadopted lane from Manchester Road – this also provides access to the attached property and other surrounding agricultural land. At the head of the lane you turn into the private courtyard in front of the building where there is generous parking. Beyond this there are gardens to the front and also more extensively at the rear of the house and barn. There is also a kitchen garden, orchard and 2 wooden stable blocks with 3 stables each. The land to the north side of the house is divided up into paddocks for grazing horses. There is a further paddock to the lower side of the lane which has been used to create feed for mowing.

The farmhouse itself is generally well presented throughout with a sealed unit double glazing with wooden frames, LPG central heating and modern fixtures and fittings. We do expect that the next owner will look to carry our further improvements to their own tastes. It is connected to mains water and electricity with foul water drainage to a septic tank which is shared with the adjacent property.

The existing internal accommodation features a
lounge, dining room and dining kitchen on the ground floor. There is also a rear entrance hall, utility, store cupboard and downstairs wc. Stairs from the lounge lead to the first floor landing which is open plan to a study area. There are also 3 double bedrooms and a large house bathroom.

Attached to the side of the house there is a substantial stone built barn with stone slate roof which features original cruck framing on display. It is currently used for storage and also stabling but offers excellent potential for conversion – subject of course to planning permission and listed building consent. Buyers may look to combine this with the existing house or convert it into the principal dwelling with the cottage providing secondary accommodation – possibly a holiday let or to allow 2 families to live side by side.

The property enjoys a much sough- after rural location which is convenient for access to Sheffield and the M1 motorway. It enjoys breathtaking countryside on the doorstep and conveniently placed for access to the Trans Pennine Trail, Langsett Reservoir and a host of other routes that will appeal to walkers, cyclists and equestrians.
