Hay Green Lane, Birdwell, Barnsley, S70

This former agricultural barn was converted sympathetically to create an outstanding four bedroom family home, standing on a generous plot.

Externally, a spacious courtyard area gives access to a triple garage with space above for further development, if required.

The grade II listed property is flooded with natural light, particularly from the original coach house entrance, which is fully glazed. Internally, many original features have been retained, including traditional beam work, deep windowsills, in part with exposed stone surrounds and complementing stone chimney breasts. There is also solid wood stained floorboards throughout, plus a handmade kitchen with distressed units that are in keeping with the barn theme, yet still house the modern cooking essentials, including integrated appliances.

To the first floor, the master bedroom en-suite and family bathroom both boast four piece suites, the latter incorporating an antique cast iron bath. There is also gas central heating, solid wood double glazing and full mains services.

The Granary enjoys a countryside aspect, with distant views over adjacent paddock land. However, local facilities are still close at hand, including the various shops, Post Office, petrol station and public houses in Birdwell. Further amenities can be found in the nearby Hoyland town centre, whilst Barnsley town centre and Cortonwood Retail Park are just a short drive away. Commuters benefit from easy access to junction 36 of the M1 motorway and local railways stations at Elsecar and Wombwell.
