Estimated to date from the 1760s, Stony Hurst Farm is an exceptional stone-built farmhouse set within approximately seven acres of magnificent private grounds, extending to roughly 3,000 sq ft of beautifully balanced accommodation. Occupying an enviable position in the sought-after hamlet of Haugh, this remarkable home perfectly balances the charm of a traditional Pennine farmhouse with the comforts of modern family living. Mature gardens, established woodland, open pasture, a picturesque wildlife pond and far-reaching countryside views combine to create a truly special lifestyle opportunity.

Rich in original character, the property showcases exposed beams, deep-set windows, feature fireplaces, stonework and traditional timber doors, all thoughtfully complemented by high-quality modern improvements. The accommodation has been carefully arranged to provide generous living spaces that work equally well for everyday family life and entertaining.

At the heart of the home is a spacious farmhouse kitchen, recently enhanced with elegant quartz worktops, flowing seamlessly into a generous dining room that naturally becomes the social hub of the house. A bright garden room with vaulted ceiling and wood-burning stove offers a peaceful place to relax while overlooking the gardens, while the impressive triple-aspect sitting room provides an outstanding space for entertaining. A cosy lounge centred around a characterful inglenook fireplace offers a more intimate retreat, complemented by a separate home office, utility room, ground floor shower room and WC.

The first floor continues the same sense of space and character, offering six bedrooms served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom and an equally impressive contemporary shower room, both finished to an excellent standard and designed to complement the age and style of the farmhouse.

Outside, the grounds are every bit as impressive as the accommodation. Sweeping lawns, mature gardens, established woodland, open pasture and a delightful wildlife pond create a spectacular setting to enjoy throughout the seasons, while a substantial stone terrace provides the perfect space for outdoor dining against a backdrop of uninterrupted Pennine countryside. In addition, the property benefits from two stables, a tack room and excellent storage, offering flexibility for a variety of lifestyle needs.

The current owners have continued to invest in the property, with recent improvements including a newly installed sewage treatment plant, replacement rear bargeboards and ongoing landscaping, ensuring the home is well prepared for its next chapter.

Despite its idyllic rural setting, Stony Hurst Farm remains within easy reach of local amenities, well-regarded schools and transport links, providing the perfect balance between peaceful countryside living and everyday convenience. An exceptional home ideally suited to growing families, multi-generational living or those seeking space, privacy and an outstanding rural lifestyle.
