5 bed detached house for sale

Barnsley Road, Hemsworth WF9

**152 barnsley road**

Set on the peaceful outer edge of Hemsworth with sweeping views stretching out across open fields to Emley Moor and the distant glow of Leeds city centre at night, this exceptional five-bedroom home offers something truly rare – a flawless fusion of original charm and modern ambition.

What began as a modest 1920’s bungalow has been completely transformed. A routine roof repair sparked a vision, and the current owners took the opportunity not just to renovate but to reimagine the property as they built outwards and upwards to create a striking contemporary home now more than triple its original footprint.

The result is a thoughtfully crafted, high-spec family residence that was fully completed just two years ago and recognised by local building control with a nomination for the labc Building Excellence Awards. Every element – from the underfloor heating to the show stopping master suite – reflects the meticulous care and design detail poured into this project.

Whether you're admiring the view from the elevated windows or stepping straight out onto the landscaped garden from the sleek open-plan living space, this is a home designed to impress and built to last.

Lasting first impressions

From the moment you enter the expansive block paved driveway via the modern electric gates, the striking and bold exterior design sets this home apart from neighbouring properties.

Sharp architectural lines and a monochrome colour palette combining white rendered walls with anthracite windows and doors instantly demand attention and command a wow factor. Inside, the first impressions continue to build as you step into the atrium-like hallway complete with spiral staircase that seamlessly flows into the ground floor living space.

Open-plan perfection

Effortlessly contemporary and immaculately executed, the open-plan kitchen and lounge serves as the social heart of the home. Defined yet connected, the two zones are subtly separated by a sleek ribbed partition wall that discreetly houses a sunken TV, offering a clever visual divide without compromising flow.

The space is built upon clean lines and calm elegance from the seamless laminate flooring boasting underfloor heating to the picture windows and bi-fold doors that lead directly out to the pristine composite decking.

Designed for relaxation, the modern mood lighting in the lounge and the minimalist furniture is perfectly positioned to take in uninterrupted views of the beautifully landscaped garden beyond.

Tucked just behind the partition is a kitchen that blends cutting-edge convenience with stylish simplicity. A broad statement central island which doubles up as a dining table, anchors the space. This is surrounded by streamlined cabinetry and integrated appliances including a hot and sparkling water tap, double oven, microwave and an induction hob with a flush ceiling extractor. Every element has been designed to maximise space, function and light. The chic adjoining utility room – with internal access to the double garage – adds a practical touch and further storage space to this beautifully balanced room.

To a slick high standard

At the front of the property – either side of the entrance door – you’ll find two ground floor bedrooms.

These versatile spaces can be modified to suit the family dynamics, but at present they are well functioning large doubles each with built-in wardrobes and their own slick en-suite shower rooms that have been finished to a high standard. The modern grey heated flooring continues throughout, and each bedroom is light, airy and radiating peaceful luxury, with views out to the front garden.

Uninterrupted views

Ascend to the first floor via the spiral staircase which will never not be a novelty.

The first point of call to explore has to be the family room complete with a stunning balcony surrounded with glass balustrades for uninterrupted views of the sunset at dusk. Following the shape of the roof, the sloped ceiling creates a snug effect. This space is perfect for cosying up in front of the TV.

Lvt wood effect flooring runs throughout the first floor, ensuring a similar modern design aesthetic flows between the rooms.

Panoramic landscape on show

Next door is the home office which is almost a mirror image of the family room, featuring the bespoke full length picture windows to take advantage of the panoramic landscape ahead. Both of these practical spaces are large enough to be converted into bedrooms should you wish, which would total an impressive seven bedrooms.

A dreamy spot to soak away the day

Tucked beneath the eaves at the top of the stairs, the stunning family bathroom oozes class and sophistication.

A sculptural freestanding bath sits against a striking woodgrain-effect feature wall. The natural tones are beautifully offset by the contemporary matte anthracite door, sleek white cabinetry and wall-hung WC. A large skylight draws in natural light to create a space that feels warm, bright and calming – a dreamy spot to soak away the stresses of the day.

A showcase of elegance

Occupying the entire upper west wing, the master suite is a showcase of elegance, featuring a low-level row of dormer Velux windows inviting the outside in. You’ll rise and shine to the picturesque views across open fields and a room filled with soft natural light.

The sleeping area blends practicality with style with a full wall of integrated wardrobes that offer an abundance of storage without compromising on design. Soft angles from the vaulted ceiling illuminated with spotlights give the space warmth and character.

The en-suite bathroom rivals a boutique hotel, complete with a freestanding bath with a floor-mounted tap positioned under the skylight. A double-width rainfall shower set against a mosaic-tiled backdrop with matte black hardware contrasts with the sleek vanity sink framed in marble.

Hidden behind smoked glass doors, the walk-in wardrobe brings boutique vibes to your morning routine.

Finishing the first floor

Completing the first floor, bedrooms four and five sit at the front of the property above the ground floor bedrooms and both are ample doubles with a skylight above the bed. Equal in size and with a mirrored layout, you’ll find in each a fitted double wardrobe and chest of drawers in a warm wooden finish.

Garden

The exterior is as spotless as the interior, and every inch of the garden that wraps around the house has been carefully designed into social and relaxation zones that make hosting a breeze.

Two main lawn areas scattered with an array of fruit bearing trees offer ample safe space for children to play and the whole family can relax in style on the polished composite decking or under the pagoda.

The ultimate party space was transformed with the addition of the entertainment room at the rear which features a bar and lounge area beyond the patio doors, plus a sheltered canopy housing the hot tub – complete with outdoor lighting for when the nights draw in.
