Beautifully renovated farmhouse with a very individual cosy and warm style surrounded by the fabulous countryside of the Peak District National Park. Full of wonderful character features. Viewing is an absolute must to fully experience this wonderful home. Set back off the road, this attractive Yorkshire stone double fronted character farmhouse is situated in the most idyllic of rural Holme Valley locations and enjoys wonderful views from every window. Over the past 2 years, the current owner has carefully and thoughtfully renovated this property, applying a very individual style to create a truly beautiful home that is cosy, warm and vibrant with many interesting and intriguing features that really complement the character of the original property. As soon as you come in through the bright yellow front door, you will instantly feel the warmth wrap itself around you and give you a big hug such that you'll never want to leave – unless, of course, to enjoy the expanse of open countryside that's on the doorstep!
Believed to date back to the mid 1800's, Lane Head Farm was once the Peacock Inn which closed around 1907. The adjacent Lane Head Barn with its outbuildings has Peak District National Park Planning Permission for conversion to a 3 bed dwelling and an ancillary 1 bed annexe. It is also for sale as a separate transaction.
The character features of Lane Head Farm include stone flagged floors; stone mullion windows with deep sills, two of which are window seats where you can just sit, relax and enjoy the spectacular views; exposed timber beams and floor boards; stripped back doors; wood panelling and contemporary versions of old school style radiators. These blend well with the contemporary additions of double glazing, underfloor heating and an air sourced heat pump.
So back to the yellow door, come inside into a long hallway and the welcome of that big hug that will stay with all the way through the house! At the end of the hallway is a convenient cupboard for coats and boots. To the left, at the bottom of the stairs, it's open to the lounge at the front and snug / reading room at the back. The cosy lounge has ample space for a comfy sofa where you can curl up in front of the log burning stove that's set into the recessed stone and brick fireplace. Or you can sit on the window seat and just enjoy the nature that is all around. The snug / reading room at the back is another cosy and versatile room with an expanse of fitted shelves along one wall. From here, there are patio doors to the back garden (further landscaping is planned). On the other side of the hall is a large Shaker style kitchen to the front with a dining room at the back. The kitchen has an extensive range of cupboards and drawers plus space for a large free standing island (the current island is available by separate negotiation). Set into the chimney recess is a large electric range with an induction hob, 2 ovens and a grill. Under the stone mullion windows, there's another window seat so you can enjoy the views whilst waiting for your meals to cook or cakes to bake or perhaps just to enjoy a coffee! At the back, the dining room not only has ample space for a table but also has a large fitted dresser with cupboards and shelves on one side and an ingenious fitted shelving unit on the other wall which hides the door to the cellar. Now just how cool is that! In the back corner, another door leads to an extension which, as well as offering utility space, houses a large pantry, a very nice shower room and the plant room. Here there's also a water filtration system as the property uses natural spring water. Here there's also a stable door to a small back patio. Now drag yourself back through that fabulous kitchen and up the stairs to the first floor. Here, you're on a spacious landing off which are four large double bedrooms, one of which is currently used as an office. There is also a very nice family bathroom with fixtures and fittings that blend well with the style of the house. Outside, there is a sloping garden at the back which is accessed from the stable door in the utility area, the snug or from the driveway at the side which allows parking for 1 - 2 cars depending on their size. On the other side of the driveway is another area of garden. Although not officially part of the title, it is maintained and enjoyed uninhibited by the current owner. There is additional parking for 2 cars at the front of the property. The property also includes an additional piece of land to the front where there is a newly installed septic tank facility that will be shared with Lane Head Barn. Situated on the edge of Lane Village at the south west end of the Holme Valley within the boundary of the Peak District National Park, the property is in a truly wonderful rural location totally surrounded by the undulating green hills of this part of the Valley. Rising up to the west is the iconic local landmark of Holme Moss Mast. There is easy access to stunning country side with Digley, Yateholme and Ramsden reservoirs on the doorstep. It's a short stroll to the next village of Holme and the popular Fleece Inn country pub and restaurant which offers a friendly welcome and tasty wholesome food. It's convenient ‘corner shop' “The Pantry” stocks a range of fresh produce. For commuters, the road up to Holme Moss and over to the Woodhead Pass is just outside for those wishing to travel to Manchester or Sheffield. Heading in the opposite direction, it's a short drive to the centre of Holmfirth and its larger range of amenities including supermarkets, artisan shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants.
