PROPERTY PARTICULARS
Barnsley's Most Handsome House
As described in the History of Barnsley vol. 2., Darley Cliffe Hall is Barnsley's most handsome House. Built and dated to circa 1685, this classically proportioned Restoration Period/Early Georgian residence was (and still is) without doubt one of Barnsley's grandest properties. The property is one of only a handful of Grade II* listings in South Yorkshire, with front and rear symmetrical facades of classic 5 bay Georgian architectural proportions and 15 pane original sash Windows with portico central doors. The Hall gives a mini \"Downton Abbey\" feel although is very manageable with it's fully refurbished exquisite grand internal proportions. Enjoying a beautiful, hidden, yet convenient setting with four other Exclusive Properties, this elevated property benefits from spectacular views over and above it's magnificent rear garden.
Fully Refurbished to Former Glory
The Hall has undergone an unimaginable transformation over the last three years and there is very little that the current owners have left un-touched and/or refurbished to it's past glory, including solid gold leafing to many of the original fireplaces, refurbished bolection moldings to many rooms, and painted fielded paneling to the Drawing Room. The grand pitched pine and oak Staircase is a feature which many listed properties could only dream of. The Hall is set within 2 acres of total re-landscaped and manageable Gardens laid to large swaths and classic borders which includes a very rare half acre Georgian Walled Garden, tiered and lawned with formal infinity fishpond and fountain.
Reluctantly Available For Sale
Unexpected circumstances have led to the property reluctantly being placed on the market and is now virtually complete in from its total internal and external refurbishment, only now requiring the bathrooms to be completed which will be installed to the purchasers choice using existing statuary marble, All other work be it structural and/or cosmetic maintenance has now been completed which in previous years was very sadly overlooked. This property must not be confused with \"grand yet very tired\" period listed properties.
