The Property
Set high above the valley on the edge of Midgley, High House Barn is an exceptional rural holding with panoramic views across the rolling West Yorkshire landscape. This handsome stone conversion combines privacy, scale, and a level of finish rarely found in such an idyllic countryside setting. The property comprises a four-bedroom principal barnhouse, a detached two-bedroom cottage, a purpose-built leisure suite with indoor pool, a double garage with gardener’s WC, and a substantial agricultural workshop with adjoining stables, all set within approximately 7.25 acres of gardens, grounds, and grazing land.

Converted by the current owners around 25 years ago and thoughtfully upgraded since, the main house is both generous in scale and elegant in flow. The central reception hall, with its split staircase and gallery above, provides a fittingly grand introduction. To one side lies a substantial sitting room, where beamed ceilings and a carved stone fireplace provide architectural interest and a sense of grandeur. Quality Karndean flooring runs underfoot, while windows to three elevations frame superb views of the surrounding landscape, drawing natural light into the space.

Opposite, the dining hall is a striking, light-filled space framed by extensive glazing and set beneath a galleried landing, offering a more formal setting for entertaining and flowing seamlessly through to a sleek, contemporary kitchen. Here, sleek SieMatic cabinetry and a substantial Corian-topped island are paired with premium Gaggenau and Siemens integrated appliances, including multiple ovens, a dishwasher, and a full-height fridge and freezer. A breakfast bar offers casual seating, while a dining table, seamlessly built into the island, provides a more sociable space for informal dining. A bespoke media wall houses a Sony television with integrated storage below.

Beyond the kitchen is a practical utility room with laundry plumbing, a secondary WC and additional storage and plant rooms tucked discreetly to the rear. A sun lounge with full-height windows offers an additional reception room for those looking for a quieter retreat.

Upstairs, the principal suite spans a large footprint, with a dressing room, en-suite bathroom with a separate shower cubicle, sunken Jacuzzi bath, and far-reaching views from both arched and porthole windows. Three further bedrooms are arranged across the first and second floors, each with its own charm, alongside a generous family bathroom with freestanding roll-top tub and separate shower.

The detached cottage, completed to the same high standard, is positioned with privacy in mind and would suit multi-generational living, guests or rental use. The open-plan kitchen and living space centres on a marble-topped island with integrated appliances and uninterrupted views across the valley. Two double bedrooms share a stylish bathroom with large walk-in shower and oval freestanding bath, while a separate utility room adds day-to-day convenience.

A short stroll across the courtyard leads to the leisure suite—an exceptional addition to the estate. Full-height glazing opens out to the views, framing a heated indoor pool and gym area with changing room, WC, and shower/steam room beyond.

Externally
Approached via a gated entrance, the property benefits from extensive parking and turning space, a detached double garage with gardener’s WC, and external water and power supply. Beyond the domestic grounds, the courtyard leads to a 50ft agricultural workshop with adjoining tack room and two stables—ideal for equestrian use or a working smallholding.

The land, amounting to approximately 7.25 acres, includes formal gardens, paved sun terraces, and gently sloping pasture with direct access from the yard.
