About Round Close Farm The property was originally built as an inn (known as the Rising Sun) and is believed to date back to the mid 19th century. It formed part of a historic community of workers cottages based around the local quarries where much of the stone that built Holmfirth came from. It ceased to be a pub in the early 20th century and reverted to a farmhouse. The surrounding cottages became abandoned on account of having no mains services, but this property remained – we understand due to it being privately owned as opposed to the workers cottages, mains water and electricity were eventually connected in the 1970s. The property has remained within the same family ownership throughout this period, and the sale will offer the opportunity for ownership outside the family for the very first time. It is of traditional stone-built construction with a pitched stone slate roof and single storey extension to the side of the cottage. The principal cottage is a substantial dwelling which has undergone the early stages of restoration, being stripped back to bare walls and is now ready for comprehensive refurbishment. The cottage features an entrance porch to the front, large lounge, dining kitchen and a single storey extension to the side that incorporates a bedroom, bathroom and sitting room. On the upper floor, there is currently 2 large rooms which offer the scope to be redesigned to the needs of the next owner. The attached barn was converted circa 2011/2012 and features attractive modern fittings combined with traditional features such as the exposed roof trusses. The barn features a spacious entrance hall having wooden stairs with glazed balustrading to the first floor and double doors opening to the living room area. This is in turn open plan to the dining kitchen which has an excellent range of fitted units. Also, on this floor you will find a downstairs W.C. and study. Moving upstairs there is a galleried landing with glazed balustrading and 3 bedrooms. The principal bedroom has an en-suite and dressing room. Bedroom 2 is another double room with mezzanine level above and en-suite. The smaller 3rd bedroom also has an en-suite. The properties are connected to mains water and electricity. The barn has solar panels and an air source heating system with under floor heating. It has a Klargester septic tank whilst the house is connected to a historic cess pit. Both properties feature uPVC double glazed windows. There is a generous tarmac driveway in front of the properties providing parking and access to the garage and outbuildings. These include a blockwork double garage and attached single garage. Attached to the rear of this building is a series of other buildings which are a combination of stone and corrugated sheet construction. There are garden areas to the rear of the barn and a further mature garden with an abundance of trees to the side. The grazing land sits to the lower side of the buildings and behind the cottage.
