Shibden Fold Barn, Shibden Fold, Shibden, Halifax, HX3 6XP

A CHARACTERFUL COUNTRY BARN WITH FIVE BEDROOMS, GLORIOUS GARDENS AND COUNTRYSIDE VIEWS

Tucked down a quiet lane in the Shibden Valley, just moments from Shibden Park and the historic Shibden Mill Inn, Shibden Fold Barn is a beautifully converted stone barn set in 1.29 acres. Rich in character and natural light, this unique home balances rustic charm with stylish modern comforts — all wrapped in breathtaking scenery.

“The best family home we could ever have wished for... grazing cows, peaceful views, walks to Shibden Park. It’s a dream.” — Current homeowners

INSIDE THE HOME

ENTRANCE
Enter through magnificent double barn doors into a double-height vestibule, brimming with light. Wooden floors lead to a downstairs WC, a utility/boiler room and stairs to the first floor.

KITCHEN
Warm and welcoming with flagstone flooring, exposed truss beams, and French doors to the decking, the kitchen combines country style with functional design. Granite worktops, a Belfast sink, and a gas range by F. Bettazzoni enhance the shaker-style cabinetry, while a central island anchors the space. Integrated appliances and underfloor heating add a modern touch.

STUDIO
Tucked behind the kitchen, this bright and flexible space — currently a pottery studio — features a charming circular window overlooking the garden. Ideal as a gym, office or creative workspace. Stairs lead down to the garage.

LOUNGE AND DINING AREA
A stunning room with dual-aspect views and French doors that lead out onto the decking. A picture window perfectly frames the field beyond, while the log-burning stove set into an exposed stone wall creates a cosy focal point. The space is large enough to comfortably zone for both lounging and dining.

BEDROOMS AND BATHROOMS
Across two upper floors, the property offers five double bedrooms, four bathrooms and a wealth of charming details — from vaulted ceilings and exposed stone to leafy views and soft natural light.

FIRST FLOOR BEDROOMS
Three character-filled double bedrooms share this level, including one with an ensuite shower room. A recently renovated family bathroom serves the others, featuring stone-effect tiling, a floating drawer unit with sink, and a freestanding statement bath.

TOP FLOOR RETREAT
The principal bedroom suite is a serene sanctuary with exposed beams, a skylight, and an exposed stone feature wall. A generous walk-in wardrobe leads through to a vaulted-ceiling ensuite with a spa-style jet bath, shower, toilet, and sink.

Also on this floor is a further double bedroom with eaves storage, skylight, and a stylish ensuite — perfect for guests, teens or older children.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS
Set within a 1.29 acre plot surrounded by nature, the grounds offer exceptional outdoor living.

A driveway provides space for approximately eight cars, complemented by a double garage with internal access. At the rear, a vast lawn — large enough for marquees and once the setting for the vendors’ own wedding — opens out toward peaceful fields where cows and sheep graze.

There’s also a woodland area for exploring, two smaller lawns for everyday play or relaxing, a log store, and a charming summer house with a bar and faux log burner — ideal for hosting or unwinding year-round.
