detached house 
7 bedrooms Property description
EQUESTRIAN RETREAT WITH STUNNING VIEWS AND COTTAGE ANNEXE
Commanding an outstanding hillside position in sought-after Mill Bank, Sawter House Barn is a remarkable Grade II listed home rebuilt in 1989 to mirror the original barn's profile — combining heritage with modern comfort.
Set in approximately 11.16 acres of enclosed grazing land, the property includes a beautifully-presented four-bedroom main house and a fully independent three-bedroom cottage, ideal for multi-generational living or guest accommodation.
With far-reaching among the best in Yorkshire, and beautifully landscaped gardens designed for year-round enjoyment, this is a home that truly celebrates outdoor living.
CHARACTERFUL MAIN HOUSE
Entered via a welcoming vestibule, the main house opens into a series of elegant yet homely spaces. The sitting room features an open fire and French doors in the original barn opening, while the spacious lounge enjoys dual-aspect views over the garden and valley below, with a multi-fuel stove set in a sandstone surround.
“When the fire is lit, the surrounding sandstone warms up too – it radiates so much heat. It’s so cosy in the colder months, and the views of the wooded hillside in autumn are spectacular.” - Current homeowner
The kitchen/diner is well-equipped with bespoke Ash units, German-engineered flooring, and doors out to the terrace — perfect for summer dining with a view. A separate utility room, study, and cloakroom complete the ground floor.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from its own dressing room and breathtaking views, with three further bedrooms and two bathrooms across the split-level first floor. A versatile attic room offers further flexible space with expansive countryside outlooks.
“I built a home, not just a house.” - Current homeowner
---
SELF-CONTAINED COTTAGE
With its own entrance and charming landscaped garden, the cottage annexe offers a full kitchen/diner, cloakroom, and cosy lounge with gas fire. Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms are served by a four-piece bathroom — ideal for guests or multi-generational living.
---
OUTDOOR LIVING
Sawter House Barn’s south-east facing terraces, lawned gardens, and tiered planting areas have been designed for beauty and ease. A sunroom with log burner creates a year-round retreat, while steps lead to a peaceful fishpond, stone seating areas, and an enclosed lawn with panoramic views.
The 11.16-acres across five fields, bordered by trees and fed by natural springwater, is ideal for equestrian or smallholding use, with both vehicular and foot access.
“Moving to Yorkshire wasn’t even on my radar. I just helped a friend from London move over here one weekend and as soon as I saw the views, it felt like paradise. I knew I had to move here.” - Current homeowner
---
LOCATION
Mill Bank is an idyllic conservation village with a strong community, outstanding primary school (St Mary’s C of E, approx. 0.3 miles), and quick access to Ripponden and Sowerby Bridge for shops, cafes, and rail links to Leeds and Manchester. The M62 is easily reached for commuting, yet this location feels beautifully remote and tranquil.
