Steeped in history, The Cruck House is a rare Grade II listed character-filled home, believed to be formed from the union of a 17th-century weaver’s cottage and a converted cruck barn believed to date back to the 15th century — making it one of the oldest buildings in the village.

Throughout, you’ll find abundant exposed stonework, original beams, and the breathtaking cruck frame that never fails to impress. Both the current and previous owners have taken a sensitive approach to preserving its historic integrity.

The ground floor is entered via the inviting dining kitchen, brimming with period features including a stone flagged floor, mullioned windows with seat, exposed beams, and a modern stove set into a stone fireplace. Off the kitchen sits a charming lounge with wood-burning stove, and a spacious utility room. From here, a door leads into the cruck barn section, home to a formal dining room with mezzanine study above, a cloakroom/WC, and a stunning full-height living room showcasing the magnificent cruck frame beneath its lofty angled ceiling.

Across the two upper floors are four bedrooms, a house bathroom, and a Jack-and-Jill en-suite serving the principal and fourth bedrooms.

Outside, a pretty enclosed front garden with stone walling, lawn, and borders provides an idyllic setting, complemented by two useful stone outbuildings. To the rear, a further enclosed and low-maintenance garden offers additional outdoor space.

Positioned just a short walk from the vibrant heart of Slaithwaite, residents can enjoy a wealth of independent shops, bars, restaurants, and amenities, along with excellent transport links via the village railway station — ideal for commuting to Leeds and Manchester. Junction 23 of the M62 is also within easy reach.
