The entrance porch, with glazed side windows, provides a welcoming space for kicking off boots and hanging coats before stepping into the heart of the home—the open-plan kitchen and dining room. This space is filled with light from windows on three sides, including striking mullioned windows that frame breath-taking views of the surrounding countryside. Stone floors, a beamed ceiling, and a charming stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The kitchen itself is well-equipped with sleek white cabinetry, an inset gas hob, an electric oven, and an integrated dishwasher and fridge, making it both practical and stylish.

Descending painted wooden stairs, you'll find a stunning lounge with a vaulted ceiling that commands attention. This beautiful space, featuring a second fireplace with a multi-fuel stove and wooden mantle, is adorned with mullioned windows and a stable door that opens directly to the garden. While currently used as a lounge, this room offers flexibility as a studio, office, or additional bedroom. Adjacent to the lounge is a tastefully finished bathroom, complete with a bath and shower over, a pedestal sink, a WC, and convenient plumbing for a washing machine.

Upstairs, the main bedroom offers generous proportions, enhanced by a wall of mullioned windows showcasing captivating valley views. The second bedroom is a charming single with a stone-siled window, while a separate bathroom features a large walk-in shower and thoughtful details like glass tile accents that introduce borrowed light. The upper floor also includes two attic bedrooms with side and Velux windows. These single rooms, with their exposed floorboards, could easily be reimagined as one large attic retreat.

Externally, the property is as enchanting as its interiors. The expansive garden—a rarity in Heptonstall—features lawned areas, vibrant flowerbeds, a pond, mature trees, and a whimsical bandstand inspired by the neighbouring Methodist chapel. This magical outdoor space invites relaxation and play, with plenty of room to entertain or simply enjoy the stunning surroundings. A stone path and gate provide easy access to the village car park.

The property's annex, a lovingly converted former piggery, is a standout feature. This charming stone-built space is currently used as a music studio and guest accommodation. It includes a double bedroom with a mezzanine bed and hand basin, a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a corner shower and laundry facilities, and a second room with a fully equipped kitchen, lounge area, and a second mezzanine big enough for a double bed. This annex offers a host of possibilities, from guest quarters to a lucrative holiday let or a peaceful garden office.

With its captivating blend of history, charm, and modern functionality, this property is a rare gem in a much-loved location. Whether you're looking for a family home with character or an investment opportunity with versatility, this exceptional residence will exceed expectations.
