5 Bedroom House for sale in Barkisland

5 5 4

Dating from 1638, Barkisland Hall is an outstanding Grade I listed country house of exceptional architectural and historic importance. Built for John Gledhill, this magnificent stone residence is one of Calderdale’s finest 17th-century homes, renowned for its elaborate mullioned windows, carved gables and striking porch inscribed with its original date and initials.



Once a home of notable grandeur, the Hall has since fallen into disrepair and now presents a substantial restoration project. The historical character and architectural integrity remain largely intact offering a rare and rewarding opportunity.



Set in around 4.8 acres of landscaped gardens and paddocks, the Hall combines period character with adaptable living space including five bedrooms, multiple reception rooms, a self-contained upper floor, cellars and extensive garaging. Its peaceful semi-rural position enjoys far-reaching views, yet Barkisland village, local amenities and the M62 motorway are all close by.
