Heights Barn, Heights, Ripponden, Yorkshire, HX6 4HJ

A HOME WITH SPACE TO GROW, VIEWS TO INSPIRE, AND VERSATILITY AT ITS HEART

Positioned in a spectacular rural setting on the outskirts of Ripponden, this beautifully converted barn offers the rare opportunity of two stylish homes in one. Set in approximately 1.5 acres with an additional 13 acres available by separate negotiation, the property includes the main house – blending character with modern comforts – and ‘The Lambing Shed’, a self-contained contemporary bungalow which can be adopted to a myriad of uses subject to planning.

"It’s very, very peaceful. It’s so private that it feels as though there’s no one around for miles, and yet there are neighbouring houses to the back of the home, so you still get that sense of safety and community."

THE MAIN HOUSE

GROUND FLOOR
A flagged approach leads to the front door via a porch with boot cupboard, bench, and shelving. Inside, the entrance hall sets a grand tone with its vast stone archway and central staircase climbing between exposed stone walls. There’s useful under-stairs space for a sofa, reading nook, or study area.

This level includes three storage rooms, a WC with sink, and the principal living room – a warm, inviting space with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a multi-fuel stove set within a stone fireplace. Triple-aspect windows, including stone mullion frames, bring in natural light and offer green views.

The open-plan kitchen is both stylish and functional, with deep green shaker cabinetry, white marble-effect worktops, and a dusty pink central island topped with rare granite and featuring seating, drawers, and storage. A Belfast sink, oven, and induction hob complete the setup, while a walk-in pantry adds convenience. Views across the lawn and countryside make everyday tasks a pleasure. A door leads to the utility room with matching cabinetry, stone flooring, and additional storage.

Steps lead up from the kitchen to a raised dining/living area with flagged flooring, stone mullion windows, and vaulted ceiling with beams and skylights – an ideal entertaining space.

FIRST FLOOR
The mezzanine landing enjoys natural light from feature windows and gives access to:
- Two double bedrooms with exposed beams and stone mullion windows, one with built-in wardrobes
- A stylish family bathroom with two bowl sinks, shower, and freestanding bath
- The principal bedroom with expansive countryside views, deep stone window sills, and a large ensuite complete with wet-room style shower, dual sinks, and walk-in wardrobe

Stairs lead to two large attic bedrooms, both with vaulted ceilings, exposed beam trusses, and Velux windows:
- One includes eaves storage
- The other features integrated wardrobes, drawers, desk, and a deep stone sill window with stunning side lawn views

A bathroom on this level offers a shower, sink, WC, exposed beam, and Velux window.

THE LAMBING SHED
A stylish, self-contained bungalow that complements the main house beautifully, ‘The Lambing Shed’ is currently for private use only and is not to be used as an Airbnb or rental property without first obtaining any required planning consents.

Inside, vaulted ceilings and exposed beams add character to the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. Triple-aspect windows flood the space with light, and an electric stove adds a cosy feel.

The shaker-style kitchen includes wall, drawer, and base units, and a pull-out pantry. The island features cupboards, shelving, breakfast bar, and an integrated fridge and freezer. A Rangemaster oven, hob, and extractor are included.

Bifold doors open onto a private decked area – perfect for a bistro set and the existing hot tub. A walkway leads down into the village, perfect for an easy stroll down into town.
