Just two years ago, Clend Barn in Slaidburn stood as an 18th-century barn. Now, it has been converted into a luxury home.
Clend Barn, a beautifully renovated 18th-century barn, offers a unique opportunity to embrace countryside living in the heart of the Ribble Valley.
Situated on the edge of Gisburn Forest, this four-bedroom, four-bathroom property combines rustic charm with modern convenience, making it an ideal home for families or those looking to retreat into nature.
This property, which is looking for offers over £1,100,000, has retained its historic roots but renovators have fitted some contemporary upgrades, including underfloor heating, a sunroom, and a terrace.
Original features, like exposed brickwork and wooden beams, have been preserved.
The open-plan kitchen and living spaces are designed with practicality and style in mind.
Arguably, the kitchen is the focal point of the home with dark green cabinetry paired with integrated appliances. It is described as a “social kitchen”, with a central island ideal for “children to complete homework, guests to perch and cooks to prepare sumptuous feasts”. This leads into a utility room, where there is plenty of storage.
The kitchen leads onto the adjoining dining area and snug, bathed in natural light. This opens out onto a paved terrace, accessed through sliding doors.
Heading upstairs, you will find the master bedroom offers a luxurious escape, complete with built-in wardrobes and en-suite facilities. The en-suite has a freestanding bathtub, walk-in shower, and a private dressing room.
A spokesperson for Mr & Mr Child, who is marketing the property, said: “This principal bedroom has everything you need with a separate area with built-in wardrobes and the most luxurious bathroom adorned in the natural browns and wooden tones of the barn and landscape. Fill the freestanding tub and soak your aching limbs after a hard day.”
Three additional en-suite bedrooms provide flexibility and comfort for family or guests. Each room is described as “homely and peaceful”.
Clend Barn’s outdoor spaces are equally inviting. The property sits on 0.5 acres of land, with a lawn and a paved terrace that flows into the surrounding countryside.
Private and serene, the uninterrupted views mean that you can really be at one with nature. Spend late nights stargazing, early mornings watching the deer stroll through the land or go for a walk yourself in Gisburn Forest, which is on the doorstep.
A spokesperson for Mr & Mr Child said: “This renovated and extended 18th century barn was converted a mere two years ago and offers the most incredible countryside escape only 20 minutes from the amenities in the beautiful towns of Settle and Ingleton and has been lovingly and carefully made into a contemporary family home.
“The exposed brickwork of the original barn stands proudly in the surrounding landscape whilst the glazing reflects the fields and woodlands creating a natural flow between house, garden and rolling countryside.”
