Chantry House, Royston – A Remarkable Period Home With Historic Roots

Believed to be one of the most historically intriguing homes in Royston — and quite possibly the wider Barnsley area — Chantry House is a truly special period property that blends heritage, charm, and modern-day family living.

The current owner believes the original part of the home may date back as far as the 15th or 16th century, and its long-standing name, “Chantry House, ” suggests historical links to St John’s Church within the village. It is understood locally that the property may once have been associated with monks who lived and worshipped nearby, adding a fascinating layer of story to an already characterful home.

Historic highlights include:
A stone-lined well in the rear garden, featuring a carved stone face, believed to potentially date back to medieval times
A double stone basin, thought to have been used for washing or ritual use
An original mason’s mark set into the stonework
Beyond the history, Chantry House is an impressive and beautifully presented four-bedroom character home, extended over recent years to suit modern family life.

From the moment you arrive, electric opening gates lead into a generous parking area with access to the integral garage. Inside, the home offers a wealth of original features and highlights throughout. The lounge is a standout space, featuring a stunning stone mullion-style window and a cosy log burner, while the heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen and dining area, flowing perfectly into the summer room/orangery overlooking the garden.

Upstairs are four double bedrooms, complemented by characterful features including exposed beams and feature stonework. The master bedroom benefits from a walk-in dressing area and a handy en-suite, while there is also a house bathroom and, for further convenience, a ground floor WC.

Outside, the rear garden is spacious, well stocked and full of personality — with lawns, patios, storage areas, and the wonderful working well feature that makes this home such a talking point.

Royston is a popular village location, well placed for shops, schools, countryside walks, and excellent commuter access via key link roads.
