See inside remarkable 17th century family home with cross valley views

This late 17th century​, five-bedroom family home​ sits within landscaped gardens​ with a backdrop of rolling, unspoilt countryside.

​Further to the house is an early 18th century barn and​ 14 acres of land.

The Grade II listed​, Ashlar stone house ​has exceptional period features​, while gardens ​with glorious views are split into small pockets,​ and grazing land ​is bordered by woodland.

Within the barn ​is a garage, original stables, ​a mistal and hayloft.

An original oak door to the house ​opens to a hall, with original features including a 17th century oak staircase with gun-barrel balusters re-used from the Manor House, East Hardwick​.

​As with most rooms, it displays a stone-flagged floor, ​with stonework to one wall, ​ceiling bea​ms and ​a Tudor arched lintel to a doorway.

A rear hall ​with cloakroom off ​continues the period features, with a leaded, stone mullion window​, as seen throughout the property, and a rear oak door, while the south-facing, double aspect lounge has a stone chimney breast with living flame gas fire, and a stone flagged hearth.

Within the living kitchen with exposed floorboards and original trusses to the ceiling, is furniture with contrasting worktops, while a grand dining room has beautiful stonework and reclaimed 16th century oak panelling, with a carved frieze imported from Earlesheaton Hall, Dewsbury, when it was demolished.

Its inglenook stone fireplace has a real fire, with a stone hearth and cast iron crest plate behind.

An original staircase rises to a half-landing, and there is access to a small cellar.

Two further reception rooms include a double-aspect study with exposed beams and stone fireplace, and a versatile, beamed sitting room currently used as a dining room, also with a stone fireplace.

From the gallery landing with original exposed floorboards, beams and stonework are five bedrooms, including a bright, main double bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and wide floorboards.

Another, double aspect room has access to a strong room with en suite potential.

There are two further double bedrooms and the fifth room is used currently for storage.

A family bathroom completes this level.

Stone walls surround the landscaped, wrap-around garden with lawns, planted beds and stone-flagged walkways, plus a pond and a cottage garden with a terrace looking right across the valley. A small orchard has fruit trees and berry bushes.

The stone cobbled driveway offers parking for several vehicles.
