A BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED DETACHED FAMILY HOME WITH FAR-REACHING VIEWS IN A SOUGHT-AFTER VILLAGE SETTING
Set within the highly desirable village of Barkisland, this attractive stone-built detached home enjoys an enviable position with extensive views across the surrounding Calder Valley countryside. Thoughtfully extended and renovated by the previous owners, the property offers stylish, light-filled living spaces alongside high-quality fixtures and fittings throughout.
Arranged over two floors and extending to approximately 2,077 sq ft including the garage, the home combines contemporary open-plan living with practical family accommodation. Energy efficiency has also been carefully considered, with the addition of a 4kW solar system generating a feed-in tariff income, alongside a rainwater harvesting system helping to reduce water consumption.
GROUND FLOOR
A UPVC and glazed entrance door opens into a welcoming hallway finished with solid oak flooring, immediately setting the tone for the quality found throughout the home. A contemporary cloakroom sits just off the entrance, fitted with a VitrA WC and wash basin with Bristan mixer tap, while a staircase with Richard Burbidge oak handrail and glass balustrade rises to the first floor.
To the right, the spacious lounge enjoys a large front-facing window overlooking the garden and surrounding landscape, allowing natural light to flood the room. A Contura log-burning stove set on a glass hearth provides a striking focal point and a cosy retreat during cooler months.
Double doors lead through to the impressive L-shaped open-plan living kitchen, forming the true heart of the home. Dual-aspect windows and Velux skylights fill the space with natural light, while French doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.
The contemporary kitchen is fitted with a range of bespoke high-gloss wall, drawer and base units, complemented by quartz work surfaces and an inset one-and-a-half bowl sink with mixer tap. A breakfast bar with a solid oak worktop offers a relaxed space for everyday dining. Integrated appliances include a Bosch dishwasher and Klarstein extractor hood, with ample room for further appliances.
Another versatile room on this floor is perfect as a spare bedroom, study, or hobby room. From here, a door leads directly into the integral double garage, which benefits from power, lighting, water supply, rear garden access, and a remotely operated Henderson electric roller door.

The first floor provides well-balanced family accommodation comprising four double bedrooms and a modern house bathroom.
The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, featuring dual-aspect windows that frame far-reaching views across the Calder Valley countryside. A full wall of Schreiber fitted wardrobes provides generous storage, while the adjoining luxury ensuite shower room is finished in porcelain tiling and benefits from underfloor heating. The suite includes a WC, double wash basins, and a large walk-in shower with Mira Mode digital rainfall and handset shower.
Two further double bedrooms positioned at the front of the home also enjoy wonderful valley views, while a fourth double bedroom overlooks the rear garden.
Completing the floor is a stylish fully tiled family bathroom fitted with a contemporary three-piece suite including a VitrA WC, pedestal wash basin with Bristan tap, and a panelled bath with Mira overhead shower.
A pull-down ladder provides access to the part-boarded loft, offering useful additional storage.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS
The property sits within generous and thoughtfully landscaped gardens that offer excellent outdoor living space.
To the front, a tarmacadam driveway provides parking for up to four cars and leads to the double garage. The front garden enjoys a sunny south-facing aspect, with lawned areas bordered by mature planting and a decked patio seating area.
To the rear, a private enclosed tiered garden provides a wonderful setting for relaxation and entertaining. Directly accessed from the living kitchen is an Indian stone flagged terrace, ideal for outdoor dining and summer gatherings. Stone steps lead up to a lawn bordered by established planting and shrubbery, with further steps rising to a second Indian stone terrace, creating a peaceful elevated seating area. The garden also benefits from outside power and water supply.
