4 Tinglebridge, Hemingfield, Barnsley

A Historic Smallholding & The Ultimate Country Lifestyle

We are exceptionally proud to bring to the market this utterly unique 1840 sandstone semi-detached home, nestled in the picturesque area of Hemingfield, South Yorkshire. Offering a staggering 9.34 acres of private land, this property is a haven for nature lovers, equestrian enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a sustainable, self-sufficient lifestyle. Currently home to Cameron sheep, ducks, and geese (livestock can be purchased with the sale if desired), the estate is fully equipped for animal husbandry.

Eco-Efficiency & Modern Tech

Despite its historic 1840 origins, this home is a masterpiece of sustainable living. It has been recently rated an exceptional EPC C72, powered by a brand new (installed 2024) 16kW air-source heat pump, 16 roof-mounted solar panels, and 2 x 6kW storage batteries. With electricity sold back to the grid, last year's total utility bill was an astonishingly low £993! The property is also fitted with a dedicated mains water supply, new sash-style windows and doors, and a remote-access 6-camera Hikvision CCTV system.

The Historic Home

The home exudes period character from the moment you step through the porch. The ground floor centres around a beautiful, L-shaped Living and Dining Room boasting exposed stone surrounds and a highly efficient A++ rated 8kW log burner. Adjacent is the modern, sage-green Kitchen, fitted with ample cabinetry and integrated appliances. The ground floor also benefits from a highly versatile third bedroom (currently utilised as a spacious home office) and a handy downstairs WC.

Upstairs, the Master Bedroom is a breathtaking retreat, featuring gorgeous exposed stonework, its own A++ rated log burner, and a private En-Suite with underfloor heating. Bedroom Two is another well-proportioned room with lovely views. The luxurious Family Bathroom has been lavishly appointed with a whirlpool bath, an electric bidet toilet, and underfloor heating.

The Land & Estate

The exterior of this property is truly awe-inspiring. Approached via wide gated access, there is ample parking for several vehicles to the front. To the rear, the land opens up into an incredible expanse totalling 9.34 acres. This includes approximately 8.5 acres of mature woodland (sloped near the house before levelling out), offering unspoilt, permanent privacy.

The fully greenbelt grounds include a paddock with a duck pond, secure V-mesh fenced areas around the garden and patio, and a dedicated Mews area at the bottom of the garden (previously used for birds of prey) that would make an ideal workshop footprint.

Outbuildings & Extras

The estate is incredibly well-equipped with practical outbuildings, including two large shipping containers for secure storage, a large timber shed, and two chalet-style kennels. Furthermore, a caravan situated on the land will convey with the sale!.

Perfectly Positioned

While offering complete rural escapism, the property is incredibly well-connected. The beautiful Trans Pennine Trail is just a 1-minute walk away, alongside a great local pub. The Elsecar Heritage Centre is a 10-minute stroll, and commuters will benefit from being under 10 minutes from Wombwell and Elsecar train stations, 15 minutes from the M1, and 20 minutes from the A1.

Lifestle

The external grounds represent a magnificent lifestyle feature seamlessly integrated with the main residence. The immediate paddocks are perfectly suited for non-commercial equestrian or hobby farming pursuits, supported by roughly 8.5 acres of mature, private amenity woodland. Crucially, the woodland features extensive dropped-kerb access points directly from the main road, allowing completely independent vehicular and machinery access without needing to pass through the domestic residential curtilage. Furthermore, the property benefits from an unblighted, 360-degree visual envelope; every outlook from every aspect of the residence looks entirely out over its own private title boundary. This creates a permanent, secure buffer against future local development, guaranteeing total privacy and isolation. The land is entirely ancillary to the main house and is held under a single residential title, offering a unique opportunity to acquire an established countryside lifestyle property without commercial planning ties.
