4 Upper Bank Houses, Barkisland

A Cosy Cottage With A Few Modern Twists, In A Picture Postcard Valley Setting. This extended and tastefully updated cottage has the “best of old and new” blend just right. It’s move-in ready, so you can throw yourself into Barkisland village life.

Imagine stepping into a world where time slows down, where the air is fresh, and the scenery is simply breathtaking. 

This charming terraced cottage, tucked away in the valley between Barkisland and Stainland offers exactly that…with a little bit of time travel back to a bygone era thrown in for good measure!

Upper Bank Houses used to be used as offices for nearby Bowers Mill. But time doesn’t stand still and the mill is now an award winning wedding venue.

And in a similar way, this traditional cottage has had a modern reboot, with double glazing and a two storey extension at the rear that’s added extra space for a kitchen and bathroom.

The cosy lounge has gorgeous LVT flooring, a traditional gas stove and beautiful exposed beams.

The kitchen takes up the whole of the ground floor rear extension - It has a Belfast sink, a breakfast bar and a modern integrated oven and hob, along with space for your washing machine.

You can get out from the kitchen to the small and private low maintenance back garden, which has a lower paved seating area and a decked seating area which attracts the sun for much of the day.

Upstairs has one double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, a single bedroom and the surprisingly large four piece bathroom in the 1st floor extension.

The part-tiled bathroom has both a bath and a corner shower cubicle.

The property comes with two parking spaces and there is also another garden area at the front, here you can sit out, catch up with your neighbours and take in the views.

Barkisland is a highly sought-after village that truly captures the heart. It’s a place where community matters and where you can escape the hustle and bustle of busy modern life.

The well-stocked village post office will be able to cater for your day-to-day needs, so popping out for a pint of milk or a loaf of bread will become a pleasure, rather than a chore.

And when you fancy a pint and some friendly chatter, the village pubs are the perfect spot to unwind. The local cricket club is a real social hub, bringing people together throughout the year.  

Families are drawn to the area for the excellent primary school in the village, and the catchment area includes highly-regarded secondary schools just a short journey away.   

Beyond the cottage itself, the surrounding countryside is simply stunning, with rolling hills, picturesque valleys and plenty of walking trails.  

Stainland is just a five minute drive away, also with a selection of amenities.  

And if you crave high street shops, restaurants and entertainment venues, both Halifax and Huddersfield are around 15 to 20 minutes away.

For commuters, junction 23 of the M62 motorway is only a 10 minute drive away, providing quick access to Leeds and Manchester.   

This could be ideal If you’re looking for a cosy cottage that’s ready for you to move in and make yourselves at home. It’s in a picturesque valley setting, just a short drive or a pleasant walk to a highly sought-after village.

With all this in mind I’m expecting plenty of interest, so contact me today to arrange a viewing.
