The Barn Waters Edge | Langsett | Sheffield | S36 4GY the BARN The Barn Waters Edge | Langsett | Sheffield | S36 4GY THE BARN “There are so many wonderful aspects to this property which have made it the perfect home,” say the current owners of this generously proportioned Grade II listed barn conversion at 10 Waters Edge. Enviably positioned on the outskirts of the National Peak Park, occupying a delightful setting; a stunning Grade II listed barn conversion which dates back to the 1600s and has been sympathetically restored resulting in an amazing home which offers a wealth of charm and character throughout. An internal inspection reveals an exceptionally high standard throughout bringing together a complementary contrast of modern features such as an integral stereo system, under floor heating and a most impressive open plan living area, whilst retaining original features including impressive timber work and exposed stone walls. Enjoying an idyllic rural setting offering immediate access to glorious open countryside whilst being well served by an abundance of local services including highly regarded schools within the neighbouring market towns of Penistone and Stocksbridge. The M1 motorway is within a short drive providing convenient access to surrounding commercial centres. Ground Floor The entrance door opens to the reception area which immediately offers an impressive introduction to the property offering a glimpse of the vast open plan living area which displays original period features including exposed timbers and upstands. This stunning room comprises various sections including the main lounge, a dining area, snug and breakfast room all with an exposed oak floor and under floor heating. A bespoke natural oak staircase with matching balustrading and newel posts rises to the first floor galleried landing whilst an abundance of natural light flows throughout; the glazed former barn arch allowing pleasant views across Langsett Reservoir. The snug area has bi- folding units opening onto the garden terrace and a modern cylindrical wood burning stove which sits on a stone hearth with exposed stonework to the wall behind. From the dining area steps lead up to the breakfast area and internal French doors lead through to the kitchen. We shall miss the space afforded by this property, as well as the atmosphere and energy of the house and all the memories we have made here.” A beautifully fitted kitchen comprising a range of modern shaker style oak wall, drawer and base units with granite work surfaces over incorporating a one and a half bowl sink unit with mixer tap.

Seller Insight Firstly, it is right on the doorstep of the wilderness of its surroundings, with views of the moors and Langsett reservoir. Secondly, inside the house itself, there is a vast sense of space within the open plan layout downstairs, with original beams complementing the beautiful modern oak work. The house possesses such character, with its stunning vaulted ceilings and mezzanine, while the huge log burner with its open brick work around creates a special cosy corner. In addition, the conversion of the old barn has been completed to such a high specification that it was ready for us to move in and begin our lives here right away.” Outside, the property has just as much to offer, the grounds serving as an extension of the indoor living accommodation during the warmer months of the year. “There is a fantastic patio area,” say the owners, “where we have shared many barbecues with family and friends. The front garden and back orchard are also lovely places to spend time, enjoying a connection to the Peak District beyond.” The property is perfectly situated in the midst of natural beauty, whilst being within easy reach of all of one’s daily needs. “There is a local pub and cafe just 100 metres away,” say the owners, “while Penistone is just a 7 minute drive away with all amenities and a train station. Access to the Peak Park is virtually immediate, while the M1 is within just a short drive for connection to wider road networks.” “We have so many fond memories of our time in this house, especially getting married and having our first 2 children whilst being here.”* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.

Populations of some protected birds are declining from the woods and moors of the Dark Peak. If this part of the Peak District National Park is a no-go zone for some of Britain’s most cherished wildlife, it reinforces the urgent need for statutory agencies, voluntary groups and landowners to protect wild birds and tackle any criminal activity against wildlife with renewed vigour and determination. 3 What’s happening to wildlife in the Peak District National Park? A walk across the moorlands and The continued declines of some species and a series through the valleys of the Dark Peak of incidents in recent years has led to our call for urgent action. in spring and summer is enriched by the sight and sound of nesting birds: Studies across the UK show many examples where the evocative, bubbling call of curlews, birds of prey, particularly peregrines, golden eagles and hen harriers, fare much worse when they nest on moors the drumming display of snipe, managed for driven grouse-shooting.1,2,3,4 the aerobatics of ravens and the brief dash of the spectacular goshawk. Concerns about the decline of raptors in the Dark Peak prompted the development of the Peak Nestwatch Partnership in 2000 (see box). Much of the Dark Peak is privately-owned moorland managed for driven grouse-shooting. In part, this has shaped the landscape of the Dark Peak. The heather moors have been maintained by management for grouse-shooting, whereas many other moors were heavily grazed or planted with The Peak Nestwatch Partnership trees.

Helen Woolley The Department of Landscape Introduction What first struck me about Living with Nature was that it had the potential to be about so much more than just developing play facilities or increasing the value of green space for wildlife; it was an opportunity to create a meaningful link between the natural environment and an important part of many people’s everyday lives. While many of the individual sites we have worked on are small they all have a vital role in reconnecting people of all ages with the environment that surrounds their homes. Healthy, living, vibrant community spaces should continue to evolve over time, rather than be created in one go, so at the end of the three year funding programme we do not see it as end of the changes to these sites, more an opportunity for various communities to continue Living with Nature.

  • 1 Assarted Enclosure Areas Within This Zone 'Catshaw Ancient Enclosures
    South Yorkshire Historic Environment Characterisation Project Barnsley Character Zone Descriptions Assarted Enclosure Areas within this Zone ‘Catshaw Ancient Enclosures’, ‘Langsett Ancient Enclosures’, ‘Penistone Assarts’, ‘Ancient Enclosures Near Ingbirchworth’, ‘High Hoyland to Pilley Wooded Farmland’, ‘Darton Ancient Enclosures’, ‘Wortley Metal Workings Area’, ‘Wharncliffe Chase’, ‘Wombwell Woods’, ‘Darfield Assarts’, ‘Grimethorpe and Great Houghton Assarts’ Summary of Dominant Character This zone is made up of ancient woodlands and ancient irregular enclosure patterns. The key characteristics of these enclosures are small, sinuous or rounded fields, with mainly hedged boundaries. Very little of the land was formerly part of a medieval open field system (see ‘Strip Enclosure and ‘Agglomerated Enclosure’). 62% of land within the zone is recorded by the project as former woodland and a further 953 Ha (14% of the zone) is still surviving ancient woodland likely to date back to the medieval period making the past landscape of the zone heavily wooded. Other parts of the zone will represent the piecemeal enclosure of commons and moors. Most enclosures date to the medieval or early post-medieval period. The zone mostly lies across the lower and middle coal measures whose alternating bands of shales, sandstone and coal seams have weathered to produce a rolling hilly landscape with steeper scarps in the west of the zone and where the River Don cuts through the area. Areas of woodland have often survived on the steeper slopes. Settlement in this zone is generally dispersed in character, with a significant distribution of medieval farm buildings recorded by the South Yorkshire Sites and Monument Record (SYAS 2008). In the valleys, settlement includes numerous water powered sites, some dating from the medieval period, others related to 18 th and 19 th century industries.

  • National Grid Begins Work to Remove Sheffield Gas Holders
    Investors Home Press Releases Media Contacts Home / Press Releases / National Grid begins work to remove Sheffield gas holders Industrial sites set for new lease of life 27 Aug 2015 Two gas holders to be removed at Meadowhall and one at Neepsend Meadowhall gas holder was the largest of its type in the world when it was built Disused industrial sites in Sheffield could be set for a new lease of life as National Grid takes down three former gasholders across the city. The gas and electricity network operator is in the early stages of dismantling the structures at Meadowhall and Neepsend. It is hoped that removing the gas holders, which haven’t stored gas for a number of years, could clear the way for future regeneration of the sites. Both sites have a long history in helping supply Sheffield with gas, with the Neepsend gasworks site dating back to 1852. South Yorkshire was granted powers to develop the first gas grid in the country in 1931, ensuring the whole region had a steady supply of gas for the first time. The ability to heat homes and have hot water on tap meant the project was warmly received, and it was not long before a boost in capacity was needed. As part of this expansion two gasholders were built at Meadowhall. Visible from the M1 Tinsley Viaduct, the duo were constructed around the same time as their taller former neighbours – the Tinsley Cooling Towers. The first - and largest of the two gasholders - had a capacity of eight million cubic feet and was the largest spiral-guided gasholder in the world when it was first built in 1938.
