About The Old Barn
This historic former barn was originally converted circa 1980. It was then re-modelled and extended in the early 2000’s prior to our clients purchase in 2017. Since then, the owners have completed many further improvements including a ‘back to brick’ renovation of the kitchen and all bathrooms, bespoke fitted furniture to the 5 bedrooms and the addition of a porch / boot room to the rear.

The main entrance to the property is via a glazed door, set within the original barn arch – this leads to a porch area with solid wooden entrance door into the spacious hall. Double oak doors lead from the hall into the breathtaking lounge, which is open to double height with exposed roof trusses. There is a magnificent stone fireplace with a log burner, glazed double doors to a Juliette balcony and picture windows enjoying the fabulous far-reaching views over the valley towards the Pennines.

A lobby area leads to the large principal bedroom which has windows on 3 elevations and charming exposed roof trusses. Next to the bedroom is a super luxury shower room with Fired Earth fittings, furniture and natural marble tiling. Also, on this floor there is another double bedroom, beautifully appointed bathroom and an extremely useful boot room with a bank of storage cupboards. The boot room has an interconnecting door into the integral garage which is of a good size and has a remote control sectional door. At the rear of the garage a further door leads to the office / studio area. This is a great space for anyone who works from home and requires a dedicated quiet or private area.

Stairs from the hall lead down to the lower ground floor into the dining room, which has glazed double doors to the side opening to the garden. Adjacent, is the superbly fitted dining kitchen by Sheraton and once again doors out to the garden. Also on this level is the good sized utility room with an entrance porch / boot room to the side. The 3 rooms on this level benefit from under floor heating.

The remaining accommodation is to be found on the first floor where you will find an open mezzanine/study room which overlooks the lounge and has velux rooflights
to the high angled ceiling. A landing area then leads to the house bathroom and 3 further bedrooms – each having fitted furniture.

The property is presented to an exceptionally high standard throughout, with quality fixtures and fittings. There is a gas central heating system with central heating boiler and hot water tank in the garage. Solar panels are mounted to the roof of the rear extension. The windows are all sealed unit double glazed with hardwood frames. The property benefits from a monitored alarm system and CCTV. It is connected to mains water, gas and electricity. Drainage is to a septic tank on the neighbouring land behind the property.

Externally the property has a good sized parking area in front with space for a number of vehicles and is enclosed by electric remote controlled gates. Gardens extend to
the side and rear of the building with a lawn and paved seating area at lower ground level. There is also a raised courtyard with stone paving, which enjoys beautiful views, and storage below.

Perhaps the property’s key asset is its location and exceptional views. Crosland Edge is a small hamlet of unique homes and barn conversions located approximately 1 mile from the village centre of Meltham, close to Blackmoorfoot Reservoir and the small village of Helme. The property itself enjoys breathtaking rural views to 3 sides and particularly from the lounge.
