Knowl Bridge Farm near Netherthong is a unique property in an outstanding setting – and has even been the venue for a wedding.

Owners Richard and Sally Fielding were married in the garden of this six-bedroom detached property, which has stunning views over the local countryside from Knoll Lane, Netherthong.

After digging out and levelling the land for a pond several years ago, they put up a marquee in the garden for their wedding celebrations.

Richard and Sally, who live in the barn section of the house, and Richard’s mum Nellie, who lives in the adjoining cottage, all say there is a lovely view from every single window in this Grade II listed former farmstead.

Today the property is divided into two separate homes but could easily be converted back into one.

“Whoever designed this house originally knew exactly what he was doing,’’ said Richard. “The house is sheltered by the hillside to the rear, and has lovely south-facing views towards Holmfirth. There is literally a view of the garden or local countryside from every single window in the property.’’

The former farmstead, which is set in about nine acres of land, comprises of an historic weavers’ cottage with an attached barn, a detached self-contained stone cottage in the grounds and a detached mistal which has recently been renovated.

Surrounded by landscaped gardens, it has a large pond, detached double garage and several acres of grazing land.

Richard, who works in the pharmaceutical industry, and Sally, an interior designer, are hoping to move to Oxford so they can be nearer London for work purposes.

He said: “My family have lived at this property since 1980 and converted it into two properties about 15 years ago. It has lovely original features including beams and exposed stone walls, along with spectacular views of the local area. It’s a great party house and a lovely home to live in at Christmas time.’’

Today Richard, Sally and their two young sons, have created a cosy contemporary home in the barn.

With an open-plan kitchen and living area and easy access to the large garden, it is a great place for a growing family.

A galleried landing overlooks the living area, while upstairs the master bedroom has a beamed ceiling and rural views from three windows.

There are two further double bedrooms and the house bathroom with a claw-foot cast-iron roll-top bath.

The attached cottage is fully self-contained with its own entrance and garden. It has a large  kitchen, charming sitting room, two double bedrooms and a house bathroom.

Situated in the garden is a detached stone cottage, which is currently used as an office by Sally and Richard. It could be an ideal residence for a dependant relative, guest accommodation or even a holiday let.

Because of the extensive land, this property would also be ideal for an equestrian family looking for grazing land and room for stables.

This is a property with endless accommodation possibilities, situated in a plot of land in the middle of open countryside.
