SELLER INSIGHT

The North Barn is a characterful building and it was the quirky, lopsided shape that attracted us in the first instance. It’s over 200 years old and started out in life as a humble cow shed but it is now a beautiful home with a large living space and layout that is perfect for day-to-day life and entertaining,” says the owner.

“The location was a big attraction too as it’s central to everything we need. We’re close to the M65, so it’s easy to access the wide range of amenities in the big cities of Manchester and Leeds, and we’re ideally located for days out at the coast, Lakes, and moors, so there’s always plenty to do. There are walking and cycling opportunities all around us and we can be in open countryside within 5 minutes, yet we also benefit from a wide range of shops, supermarkets, and a whole plethora of highend bistros and restaurants, so it really is the best of both worlds here. We also have an internationally renowned spa nearby which I highly recommend!”

“The garden is easy to manage which leaves plenty of opportunity for relaxing in the sun, BBQs, and get-togethers with friends on the patio decking area. Evening drinks in the gazebo in the summertime are just idyllic as it’s a very private space surrounded by tall hedging which is a natural attraction for wildlife. We like to feed the birds and often see a good variety in the garden, including wrens, wagtails, and bluetits, as well as an occasional jay. There is parking available for up to 5 vehicles which comes in handy when we have visitors.”

“We’ve lived here for nearly 6 years and have made many changes during that time, including the installation of a new kitchen, utility room, ensuite, main bathroom, carpets throughout, and a new boiler. We opened up three rooms to create the open plan kitchen / diner / lounge area which is ideal for entertaining. The vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, and log burner add character and warmth, and it’s filled with natural light from the large windows and Velux.”
