Dovedale House, Mitchell Street, Swaithe, Barnsley, S70

This unique detached home, built from natural stone, provides split level accommodation, measuring in the region of 3,000 square feet. In addition, there is a stone built detached former double garage with accommodation above that is currently used as a hobby room and two sizeable log cabins, providing more than 1,000 square feet of additional living space.

The property has been renovated to an exceptionally high standard and the versatile nature of the accommodation makes it suitable for a variety of purchasers. Notable features include an expansive 8m open plan kitchen/diner with state-of-the-art Neff appliances, contemporary units and a large island. There is also a spacious lounge, separate library and master bedroom with adjacent fifth bedroom or dressing room.

Depending on the successful purchaser's requirements, the property can be configured to offer four or five bedrooms, whilst the aforementioned stone office building would make an ideal detached annex for a dependent relative or teenager. The two log cabins, created by Aspen Lodges, provide further flexibility to add entertainment rooms and are currently utilised as a detached home office and gymnasium. All windows and doors have been replaced by the current owners and new roof tiles and loft installation installed on the house and former garage.

The little-known hamlet of Swaithe is a quiet and peaceful location, surrounded by countryside, ideal for an equestrian. It is just a short drive from Barnsley centre and the M1, providing easy access to a range of local amenities. We are advised high speed fibre internet is also available.
