5 bed semi-detached house for sale

Meagill Lane, Blubberhouses LS21

An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented Grade II listed, five-bedroom, four-bathroom stone-built barn conversion extending to over 3,400 sq ft of superbly appointed accommodation. Set within approximately 11.8 acres of land, the property enjoys a peaceful and private position in the highly sought-after village of Blubberhouses, complemented by driveway parking for multiple vehicles and a double garage.

Approached via a long private driveway, passing a natural pond and opening into a generous turning circle bordered by traditional stone walls, the property immediately conveys a strong sense of arrival. The setting is truly special, enjoying panoramic views across open countryside to the front, side and rear. The surrounding landscape supports an abundance of resident wildlife including barn owls, deer, and hares, while the land is registered as a ‘priority habitat of interest’ for nesting curlews, further enhancing its environmental significance.

The accommodation is centred around exceptional reception and living spaces, perfectly suited to both family life and entertaining. An impressive principal reception room features a striking fireplace and dual-aspect windows overlooking the grounds, creating a wonderfully light and welcoming environment. A separate sitting room, also with feature fireplace, provides an additional relaxed living space and benefits from its own external access.

To the rear lies the heart of the home - a superb farmhouse-style kitchen arranged around a large central island. The kitchen was hand-painted and individually designed by Jeremy Wood of Wetherby, combining craftsmanship with timeless country-house styling. An Aga Six-Four Series oven forms a focal point of the space, perfectly suited to both everyday cooking and entertaining. Ceiling spotlights and exposed beams, which continue throughout the kitchen and principal reception rooms, beautifully showcase the barn’s character while creating a warm and sociable environment. A separate utility room provides excellent practicality, offering external access and an internal door leading directly to the garage.

The property is entered via a spacious reception hall incorporating a guest WC, study and useful understairs storage. The study enjoys direct access to the rear garden, making it ideal for home working.

To the first floor, the generous principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom, while bedroom two enjoys its own en-suite shower room. Three further well-proportioned double bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, separate shower room and dressing area, offering flexible accommodation ideally suited to family living or visiting guests.

Externally, the property is surrounded by attractive landscaped gardens, including a substantial rear lawn and patio terrace ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining.
