Description

Elmsall Barn is a landmark contemporary residence, seamlessly uniting architectural heritage and modern luxury.

Set discreetly within a private plot of approximately 3.6 acres, on the edge of a picturesque village, Elmsall Barn is an exceptional fusion of historic charm and cutting-edge design. A part-conversion of an early 19th-century granary barn, complemented by a striking contemporary extension, the property is an exemplary statement of modern rural architecture - crafted with a rare attention to detail, scale, and innovation.

This extraordinary residence spans over 7,300 sq ft of internal living space, marrying original brickwork, exposed timbers and wattle and daub with steel, zinc, glass and stone to dramatic effect. A glazed link unites the original Grade II listed structure with a bold new wing, all designed with a minimalist aesthetic and built to the highest specification.

Inside, the home offers expansive open-plan living, with porcelain flooring flowing from the vast entrance hall through to the kitchen/living/dining area and out onto the terrace - creating seamless inside-outside connectivity. The heart of the home is a bespoke handmade kitchen, complete with an island, family breakfast bar, and an adjoining walk-in pantry. A separate utility/laundry room with Belfast sink is cleverly integrated for everyday practicality.

Entertaining spaces include a triple-aspect sitting room with linear glass-fronted fireplace, a cinema/media room, and a dramatic reception hall featuring a sculptural floating helical staircase wrapped around a concrete column with recessed gas fire. Throughout, architectural lighting, shadow-gap detailing, and giant sliding pocket doors create an atmosphere of refined modernity.

The principal bedroom suite occupies its own private wing, showcasing exposed trusses, vaulted ceilings, and a striking picture window overlooking the walled garden and pool. Twin dressing rooms and a luxury en suite with walk-in shower and freestanding bath complete this serene retreat. Four further bedroom suites are offered, including a ground floor suite with independent access - ideal for guests or multi-generational living.

Technologically advanced and energy efficient, the property benefits from a full MVHR system, high-performance glazing, breathable wall membranes, underfloor heating throughout, and integrated smart home technology for entertainment, security and broadband.

Elmsall Barn is approached via a long private drive and secure gates, opening to a gravelled forecourt framed by ornamental cherry trees. The property includes a detached barn (over 4,800 sq ft) with electric roller doors, power, lighting, hydraulic car lift and generous space for secure garaging or storage.

The landscaped walled garden features clipped box, ornamental grasses and espaliered fruit trees, creating a tranquil, contemporary outdoor setting. At its heart lies a 20-metre heated swimming pool and expansive sun terrace with outdoor kitchen and pizza oven - ideal for al fresco entertaining.

A detached single-storey garden annexe houses a home office and gym, with French doors offering poolside views. A sauna and shower room, along with plant facilities, complete this stylish ancillary space.
