Rose Barn

About this property

Rose Barn is a striking barn conversion resting in Farnley, West Yorkshire. Perfectly suited to families and groups of friends seeking a memorable getaway packed with entertainment and character, blending original exposed brickwork and beams with impressive leisure facilities, this standout retreat offers easy access to Leeds while enjoying walking routes right from the doorstep. Pull up into the generous off-road parking area and take in your surroundings before stepping into the courtyard, where overhead lighting creates an inviting setting for evening gatherings. With a picnic bench providing the perfect spot for a morning coffee or an alfresco bite to eat, this welcoming outdoor space offers a wonderful introduction to the barn before you head inside.

The heart of the barn is the spacious open-plan living area, where exposed brick walls, characterful beams and carefully chosen artwork create a stylish setting for spending time together. In the contemporary kitchen, you'll find everything needed to prepare family feasts, while the dining table provides the perfect place to linger over breakfast and plan the day ahead. Close by, a dartboard encourages a little friendly competition, while the games area invites guests to rack up the balls on the pool table, catch up on the latest sporting action on the wall-mounted TV, and enjoy the character added by the tiled flooring beneath.

After a day of exploring, sink into the generously furnished sitting area, where a corner sofa, additional sofa and armchair gather around a woodburning stove tucked neatly into the corner. Stretch out on the rug with a favourite book, stream music through the Bluetooth ceiling speakers, or settle in front of the wall-mounted TV for a relaxed evening together. For unforgettable movie nights, make your way into the dedicated cinema room, where overhead lighting and a projector create an authentic big-screen experience. Whether you're enjoying a blockbuster marathon, cheering on live sport or making the most of the karaoke machine, this room is designed for entertainment.

When it's time to retire for the evening, head upstairs to find three charming bedrooms, several showcasing original beams and exposed brickwork that celebrate the barn's heritage. Soft carpeting underfoot adds warmth throughout. The king-size bedroom and double bedroom both benefit from TVs and sofa beds, while the twin room offers flexible sleeping arrangements for a variety of group make-ups. Completing the interior is a thoughtfully presented bathroom, where exposed brickwork frames a freestanding bath and walk-in shower, creating an appealing space to freshen up before another day of adventure. Back outside, gather around the firepit beneath the evening sky, enjoy alfresco meals from the outdoor kitchen, or serve up homemade pizza from the brick-built oven while younger guests make use of the orchard garden area.

A nearby shop is just a short stroll away, while a welcoming pub can be reached within an easy walk. For days out, head into Leeds and explore the fascinating collections of the Royal Armouries Museum, admire the architecture and atmosphere of the historic Corn Exchange, or spend an afternoon browsing the acclaimed Victorian arcades. In nearby Wakefield, discover the impressive sculptures and landscaped grounds of Yorkshire Sculpture Park, visit The Hepworth Wakefield's celebrated exhibitions, and wander along the city's regenerated waterfront. Alternatively, venture to Harewood House, where grand state rooms, beautifully maintained gardens and a popular bird garden provide a rewarding day out surrounded by Yorkshire scenery.

Combining character, entertainment and an excellent location, Rose Barn is an exceptional base for discovering Farnley and the wider West Yorkshire region.

Farnley Tyas is a delightful, quiet West Yorkshire village set in an unspoilt and largely undiscovered corner of the rural Southern Pennines. Now gaining popularity with walkers, cyclists and horse riders, it used to be said that time stood still in Farnley where farming was and still is the predominant occupation. High on a hill, some 900 feet above sea level and having some great views, the village is surrounded by beautiful rolling wooded countryside with many old footpaths and quiet lanes to explore among the belts of ancient woodland. The majority of the village is designated as a conservation area with a number of listed buildings. The surrounding countryside to the north and west is designated as 'An Area of High Landscape Value'. Nearby is the local landmark Castle Hill, with its hill top location and panoramic views a visit is recommended. On top are the remains of an iron age fort, the fortification banks and ditches are easily recognisable. The present 'castle' is the Victoria Tower built in 1899 to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria. The Tower is open on summer and bank holiday weekends (check website first) when for a modest fee you can climb the stone stairs to the viewing platform, where it is said, on a clear day York Minster is visible. Last of the Summer Wine was filmed in nearby Holmfirth. There is lots to see and do here, Sid's Cafe, Nora Batty's house, Summer Wine Tours, with some supermarkets, independent shops and eateries. The Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Hepworth Gallery, Cannon Hall Country Park, The National Coal Mining Museum and Wentworth Castle are only a short drive away. Huddersfield has a multi-screen cinema, a modern theatre, an art gallery with nationally known exhibits and all the usual supermarkets and chains with good parking accessed from the ring road. All this and more, yet the major tourist attractions of York, Haworth, Leeds, Sheffield and Manchester are with easy reach.
