Description - Set within the peaceful and highly sought-after conservation village of Old Ravenfield, Corme Ecluse is a captivating stone-built residence that blends timeless character with refined, modern living. Tucked away along the village’s historic Main Street and framed by a charming courtyard, this beautifully presented home offers both privacy and presence in an area celebrated for its architectural heritage, rural tranquility, and community spirit.

Old Ravenfield is no ordinary village. With origins tracing back over 900 years to the Domesday Book, it has evolved into one of South Yorkshire’s most desirable and picturesque locations. Awarded multiple accolades for its outstanding natural beauty, heritage preservation, and vibrant community life, the village is a proud example of how history and modern living can coexist. Traditional stone cottages, mature trees, and open green spaces give Old Ravenfield its distinct charm, while its conservation status ensures that its unique character remains protected for generations to come. Despite its peaceful setting, the village is just a short drive from Wickersley and Rotherham, with Sheffield, Doncaster, and major motorway links within easy reach—making it an ideal location for both commuters and those seeking a gentler pace of life.

Thoughtfully extended and meticulously restored, Corme Ecluse offers over 1,500 square feet of adaptable living space across two beautifully appointed floors. Originally a traditional stone cottage, the property has been sympathetically reimagined for modern life, retaining its period soul while introducing contemporary finishes, quality materials, and thoughtful design choices throughout. Every element, from the hand-crafted oak staircase to the elegant stonework and joinery, reflects a deep respect for the building’s heritage.

The home opens into a warm and welcoming interior that immediately impresses with its sense of space and flow. At its heart is a spacious and light-filled kitchen-diner, perfectly designed for both everyday life and entertaining. Fitted with solid oak cabinetry, high-quality worktops, and underlit units, the kitchen blends traditional country style with modern functionality. Overhead, twin skylights flood the space with natural light, while French doors open directly onto the rear terrace, making the garden feel like an extension of the room. There's ample space for a large dining table, ideal for gathering friends and family, and a separate utility room neatly tucked away to house appliances and provide additional storage.

In addition, the kitchen and adjoining hall benefit from underfloor heating powered by the central heating boiler—adding to the comfort and efficiency of daily living. The upstairs bathroom also enjoys the luxury of electric underfloor heating, offering extra warmth and a touch of indulgence.

The main lounge is a wonderfully atmospheric space, anchored by a magnificent stone fireplace with an inset cast-iron stove—perfect for cosy evenings. Exposed timber ceiling beams and soft lighting create a relaxed, characterful ambiance, while the room's generous proportions easily accommodate both living and reading areas. From here, you move into a more formal dining room or flexible second reception room with lovely views over the garden. This versatile space, currently used for entertaining, could be adapted as a study, library, or even a snug for quieter moments.

A major asset to the layout is the expansive ground-floor principal bedroom suite, an increasingly sought-after feature in today’s market. This tranquil retreat includes built-in wardrobes and a contemporary en-suite shower room with high-end finishes, offering both convenience and comfort. Its location on the ground floor makes it ideal for downsizers or those planning ahead for long-term accessibility, without sacrificing style or space.

Upstairs, the home continues to impress. The two first-floor bedroom areas are full of character with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and charming cottage windows. Whether used for family, guests, or additional office space, these rooms are comfortable and beautifully finished. They share access to a luxurious family bathroom, styled with a traditional roll-top bath, a walk-in shower, and elegant tiling that ties together traditional and contemporary design.

An open-plan landing on this floor provides an additional reading nook or study area, again showcasing how flexible and future-proof this home really is. Every inch of the layout has been thoughtfully considered, from storage solutions to the balance of public and private space.

Outside, the property continues to deliver. The rear garden is a private and enclosed haven, with a manicured lawn, mature borders, and a charming stone pathway that leads to a timber summer house. This detached space is ideal for a home office, creative studio, or even guest overflow, offering endless possibilities depending on lifestyle needs. A stone terrace offers the perfect spot for al fresco dining or morning coffee in the sun, while the private front garden—framed by railings and a wrought iron gate—leads into a private courtyard where there is off street parking.
Whether you're a growing family seeking a spacious yet character-rich home, a couple looking for elegance and ease, or someone working from home and in need of adaptable space, Corme Ecluse offers a truly exceptional lifestyle. Rich in warmth, history, and flexibility, this is a home designed to evolve with you—full of heart, surrounded by beauty, and set within one of Yorkshire’s most celebrated and award-winning Villages.
