HIGHER MURGATSHAW BARN

A country lifestyle awaits in the desirable landscape of Blackshaw Head – a charming village located in the captivating Calderdale Valley area within the West Pennine Moors.

BARN CONVERSION

The grand Victorian stables built in the mid-1800s with an arched entrance and penny windows are the epitome of postcard Yorkshire architecture. Outline planning for six reception rooms, six bedrooms, four bathrooms and two studies however this can be altered to suit any specific requirements. Some paddock space may be available under separate negotiations. At the rear you’ll feel completely secluded away from the road with only farmland and panoramic views ahead of you.

Despite being just a few miles from the bustling market town of Hebden Bridge – a picturesque tourist honeypot set within the Calder Valley – you’ll be blown away by the remote appeal of the property. On arrival at the postcode, rolling field views span as far as the eye can see.

Area to explore

Perched high on the Pennine moors above Hebden Bridge, the picturesque village of Blackshaw Head is a hidden gem of West Yorkshire. Famed for its sweeping views across the rugged countryside, this glorious spot offers a perfect blend of peaceful rural living and strong community spirit.

Life here is beautifully simple. Traditional stone cottages line the village lanes, and at around 1,000 feet above sea level, the fresh moorland air feels a world away from the everyday rush. For walkers and wildlife lovers, the Pennine Way is right on your doorstep, with miles of breathtaking trails to explore.

The local chapel, the lively community centre and the much-loved New Delight Inn act as social hubs, bringing together residents for regular events that keep the village’s warm and welcoming spirit alive. An hourly bus service whisks you down into the bustling streets of Hebden Bridge, packed with independent shops, cafés and markets. For bigger shopping trips, Todmorden’s supermarkets are just a 20-minute drive away meaning there’s the best of both worlds living here.

Families are well-catered for too. Colden School – the village’s infant and junior school – provides early education and a daily school bus service to nearby secondary schools mean your little ones are well connected as they grow.

With sheep grazing the surrounding farmland and the countryside stretching for miles, Blackshaw Head offers an idyllic lifestyle for those looking to swap city living for something altogether more wholesome, without ever feeling isolated.
