Give Your Kids The Kind Of Idyllic Childhood That Makes Memories. Growing up somewhere like this leaves a mark - open skies, the smell of woodsmoke, fields to explore and the freedom to roam. But it’s only a short drive to Barkisland and Ripponden and 20 mins to the M62.

The view across Stainland Dean hits you first, fields rolling away to the moorland horizon - the kind of view that makes people stop mid-sentence when they get out of the car.

It's there from the kitchen in the morning, from the garden in the evening, and from the bedroom windows when the light is doing something worth watching. Most families drive a long way and spend a great deal of money to find a setting like this for a weekend retreat.

Inside the Grade II listed farmhouse, the original oak beams are heavy and low, the stone fireplace in the sitting room houses a multi-fuel log burner, and there's a flame effect gas fire in the lounge. On a January evening with the fire going it's the kind of place that makes the world feel very far away.

As you’d expect the kitchen is a sociable space with shaker-style units, timber worktops, a Butler sink and a Rangemaster range cooker. Windows at the side and the back mean you've got a choice of valley views while you're making breakfast and you can also bring those views in through the stable style door. A separate utility room and downstairs cloakroom keep the muddy boots and wet coats where they belong, away from the rest of the house.

Three reception rooms give a family space to spread out. A dining hall with the staircase rising from it, a sitting room with the stone fireplace, and a separate lounge - plus a small study that works well as a home office or quiet reading room.

Upstairs, the main bedroom sits at the front with south-facing windows and far-reaching views, along with its own ensuite shower room. Three further double bedrooms all have views of their own, and the family bathroom is finished to a nice standard - with a freestanding roll-top bath, a walk-in shower and warm stone-effect tiling throughout.

Outside, the garden runs down alongside the adjoining fields, with a paved seating terrace and a lower pebbled area that catches both the morning sunrise and the evening sunset. Park yourself here with a bottle of wine and the chimenea lit and that is your Saturday evening sorted! Parking is well covered, with a side drive and then further parking below the garden for several cars. There is also a single garage in a separate block with an electric up-and-over door. At the top of the garden there is a small stone outbuilding, a good wood store or a den for the kids.

Krumlin feels properly rural, but it isn't isolated. Barkisland village is only a few minutes away by car, with a pub, post office, cricket club and a primary school that local families rate highly.

Junction 22 of the M62 is about 20 minutes away - giving straightforward access to Leeds, Manchester and the wider motorway network. If you prefer to leave the car at home, it’s a 10 minute walk to the bus stop, where regular buses run to Halifax and Sowerby Bridge, where you'll find mainline rail connections.

This could be the perfect home for a family that wants open space, genuine character, and the kind of lifestyle and freedom that children remember long after they've grown up.
