Situated in the South orkshire village of Hemingfield, The ld Barn is the perfect family home in an idyllic rural position. It was the location which initially attracted the current owners to the property. “Although it is ideally placed for access to the M1/A1 etc.” say the owners, “it is very secluded and private. As you drive down the lane from Cemetery Road it feels that the pace of life is instantly more relaxed.”
