Waver Spring Barns, Collingham, LS22

An outstanding stone-built barn conversion occupying a delightful semi-rural location and offering stunning countryside views

Situated in a tranquil pastoral enclave position on the outskirts of the highly regarded village of Collingham, Waver Spring Barns is an exceptional stone-built barn conversion forming part of an exclusive collection of individual homes, thoughtfully converted in 2010.

Extending to approximately 2,500 sq. ft, this impressive property successfully combines the character and architectural integrity of the original building with beautifully appointed and highly versatile accommodation, all benefiting from a modern air sourced heat pump and underfloor heating throughout.

One of the defining features of this striking home is undoubtedly its handsome front elevation, where five impressive full-height glazed arches create an immediate sense of distinction. One of the arches forms the principal entrance, whilst internally the original stone arches have been retained and exposed to wonderful effect, providing an architectural feature that celebrates the building's heritage and gives the accommodation a unique sense of character.

The ground floor is centred around a superb dining kitchen, creating a natural heart to the home and an ideal environment for both everyday family life and entertaining. The kitchen is complemented by two separate reception rooms, providing excellent versatility. One of the reception rooms features a wood-burning stove, creating a particularly warm and inviting space during the colder months whilst providing an attractive focal point to the room.

The generous proportions, extensive glazing and exposed stonework combine beautifully throughout the ground floor, allowing the character of the original barn to remain at the forefront whilst providing all the comforts expected of a high-quality contemporary home. Further practical accommodation includes a separate utility room and ground-floor WC.

To the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms, making the property particularly well suited to family occupation. Two of the bedrooms benefit from their own en-suite facilities, whilst the remaining bedrooms are served by a stylish house bathroom. The overall specification throughout the property is of an excellent standard, complementing the character of the building without detracting from its original features.

Externally, the property enjoys gardens of particular note. To the front is an established south-facing cottage-style garden, providing a wonderfully attractive setting to the stone-built façade and an excellent space in which to enjoy the property's sunny orientation. To the rear is a separate wildflower garden, creating a more natural and informal outdoor environment and further enhancing the property's semi-rural appeal.

The setting is a significant part of the attraction. Waver Spring Barns enjoys a delightful position surrounded by countryside, with open rural views providing a genuine feeling of space and tranquillity, whilst remaining within easy reach of the amenities and excellent transport connections available in nearby Collingham.

Collingham is one of the area's most sought-after villages, conveniently positioned between Leeds and Wetherby and surrounded by attractive West Yorkshire countryside. The village provides an excellent range of everyday amenities including local shops, pubs, cafés and schooling, together with numerous countryside walks and recreational opportunities. The nearby market town of Wetherby offers a more extensive range of shopping and leisure facilities, whilst the location is also particularly convenient for access to Leeds, Harrogate and York and the wider motorway network.

Rarely does a property combine the character, scale and architectural interest of a traditional stone barn with such a high standard of contemporary accommodation.

With approximately 2,500 sq. ft of living space, four bedrooms, three bathrooms, beautiful gardens and a superb semi-rural setting, Waver Spring Barns represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a truly individual family home in one of the area's most desirable locations.
